Here is the tutorial.

1. Step 1:

   Start SolidWorks in part mode.
   

   

2. Step 2:

   Top plane>>Sketch.
   

   

3. Step 3:

   Draw a circle of 25mm dia.
   

   

4. Step 4:

   Curves>>helix and spiral.
   

   

5. Step 5:

   Defined by Pitch and revolution and pitch = 2.5mm and revolution = 10, start angle = 0º and Clockwise.
   

   

6. Step 6:

   Top plane>>sketch.
   

   

7. Step 7:

   Select the sketch under helix and then convert entities.
   

   

8. Step 8:

   Curves>>helix and spiral.
   

   

9. Step 9:

   ame pitch and revolution be 5. Change it to counterclockwise with taper helix 23.00º inward.
   

   

10. Step 10:

    We have the helix generated.
    

    

11. Step 11:

    We can sweep along the curves.
