Helix is a curve traced on the surface of a cylinder by a point moving uniformly parallel to the axis of the cylinder when cylinder rotates uniformly.

HELIX

Helix is a curve traced on the surface of a cylinder by a point moving uniformly parallel to the axis of the cylinder when cylinder rotates uniformly.

The axial distance through which the generating point moves parallel to the axis for each revolution of the cylinder is called the pitch (or) the lead of the helix.
