Bevel Gear

Bevel gears are a type of gear used in mechanical power transmission systems. They are classified under the supply class "Gears, Pulleys, Sprockets, and Transmission Chain" in the supply group "Mechanical Power Transmission Equipment."

Bevel gears are designed with teeth that are cut on a conical surface. This allows them to transmit power between two intersecting shafts at a right angle. They are commonly used in applications where the direction of rotation needs to be changed, such as in automotive differentials, power tools, and industrial machinery.

The main advantage of bevel gears is their ability to transmit power efficiently and smoothly between shafts that are not parallel. They can handle high loads and provide reliable torque transmission. Additionally, bevel gears can be designed with different tooth profiles to optimize their performance for specific applications.

There are different types of bevel gears, including straight bevel gears, spiral bevel gears, and hypoid bevel gears. Each type has its own advantages and is suitable for different applications.

In summary, bevel gears are an important component of mechanical power transmission systems. They allow for the efficient transmission of power between intersecting shafts at a right angle, making them essential in various industries and applications.
