With so many different types of gears, it can be hard to keep track of the wide range of uses for each type of gear. Read on to learn more about straight bevel gears and some of the applications they can be used for.
Bevel Gears
Bevel gears are cone shaped gears designed to transmit motion between intersecting axes. They are usually mounted on shafts that are 90 degrees apart, but can be designed for nearly any angle.
Straight Bevel Gears
Straight bevel gears are the most common and also the simplest type of bevel gear. True to their name, they have straight teeth and resemble a spur gear, except that they are conical rather than cylindrical. They also share many properties of spur gears due to the similar tooth shape and the way their teeth engage.
Applications
Straight bevel gears have many different uses across industries such as industrial and commercial, material handling, automotive, pumps, and many other industries. With over a century of gear manufacturing experience, China Gear Motions has worked with customers to produce straight bevel gears for a wide range of applications. Some of these include:
