Industrial Machinery & Gearboxes · Application
Right-angle drives
Bevel gears turn the drive through 90° in implement gearboxes, conveyors and packaging machines.
- What was needed
- Straight Bevel Gear Set, Module 1.5, 98:35
- Requirements
- 90° drive in a compact housing
- Correct tooth contact
- Industries
- Industrial Machinery & GearboxesAgricultural Machinery & TractorsPackaging MachineryMaterial Handling, Lifts & Gates
- Result
- A compact right-angle drive made as a matched pair.
Problem
Many machines need to turn the drive through an angle (rotavator and implement gearboxes, conveyor transfers, wrapping and cartoning machines) within a compact housing.
Solution
Bevel gears transmit power between intersecting shafts, usually at 90°. They are made as matched pairs to drawing.
Benefits
Why it works
Compact angle drive
Changes direction within a small gearbox.
Matched pairs
Made together for correct contact.
