Bevel Gear Definition
Bevel gears are gear types used to transmit power and motion at the intersection of two shafts. Although it is generally used between shafts operating at a 90° angle, it can also operate at different angles. Depending on the tooth structure, there are straight, spiral or hypoid bevel gear types.
Features of Bevel Gears
✔ Ability to Change Angle - Transmits power between two different axes.
Compact Design - Takes up less space and provides efficient power transmission.
✔ Various Tooth Structures - Available in different types such as straight, spiral and hypoid.
High Efficiency - Works with precision in mechanical systems.
Usage Areas of Bevel Gears
- Automotive Industry (Differential gears)
- Aviation Industry (Helicopter rotor systems)
- Marine (Ship propeller drive systems)
- Machinery and Machine Tools (Drill and milling machines)
