Abstract
A gear for transmitting power has a plurality of teeth, each having two tooth flanks for transmitting power to another gear. The gear can be rotated about an axis of rotation, and has a reference plane, which is arranged orthogonal to the axis of rotation. Tooth flanks of the same name are the tooth flanks for transmitting power in one direction of rotation, wherein the tooth flanks have a tooth flank length proceeding from a front side of the reference plane. Two tooth flanks of the same name are arranged directly adjacent to a crown tooth flank, said two tooth flanks of the same name each having a smaller tooth flank length than the crown tooth flank. The gear has at least one of the crown tooth flanks and is configured as a helically toothed gear.
