Bevel Gear

Understanding Bevel Gears: Right-Angle Power Transmission

Bevel gears are designed to change the direction of power transmission between shafts that intersect, most commonly at 90 degrees, although other angles are possible. Their conical shape allows for this angular power transfer.

Types of Bevel Gears We Manufacture:

• Straight Bevel Gears: Feature straight teeth that converge towards the cone apex. They are simpler to manufacture and suitable for moderate speeds and loads. Ideal for basic right-angle-gear applications.
• Spiral Bevel Gears: Have curved, oblique teeth. This design allows for gradual tooth engagement, resulting in smoother, quieter operation, higher load-carrying capacity, and higher speed capabilities compared to straight bevel gears. Often preferred for demanding intersecting-shaft-gear systems.

Advantages:

• Right-Angle Drive: Efficiently transmit power between shafts intersecting at an angle (usually 90°).
• Speed & Torque Modification: Can be designed with different numbers of teeth on the pinion and gear to increase or decrease speed and torque.
• Compactness: Offer a relatively compact solution for changing drive direction.

Considerations:

• Mounting Precision: Require accurate mounting to ensure proper tooth contact and minimize wear and noise. Shaft alignment is critical.
• Thrust Loads: Generate axial thrust forces on both shafts, which must be accounted for in bearing selection and housing design. Spiral bevel gears generate higher thrust loads.
• Manufacturing Complexity: More complex to manufacture than spur or helical gears, especially spiral bevel gears, requiring specialized machinery.

Shreeji Gears: Your Expert Bevel Gear Manufacturer in Ahmedabad

As a dedicated ahmedabad-gear-manufacturer, Shreeji Gears possesses the expertise and equipment to produce high-quality straight and spiral bevel gears tailored to your needs.

Why Choose Shreeji Gears for Bevel Gears?

• Material Selection: Utilizing robust alloy steels like EN19, EN24, EN353, SAE 8620, and others, selected based on application load, speed, and environmental factors. We ensure quality steel-bevel-gear production.
• Precision Cutting: Employing advanced gear cutting technologies (like Gleason or equivalent systems) to achieve accurate tooth profiles, spacing, and cone angles for both straight and spiral bevel gears.
• Heat Treatment Excellence: Implementing controlled heat treatment processes (case carburizing, hardening, tempering) to achieve desired surface hardness for wear resistance and core toughness for strength.
• Matched Sets & Lapping: Often supplied as matched pinion and gear sets. Spiral bevel gears typically undergo lapping after heat treatment to refine tooth surfaces for optimal contact pattern, smoothness, and quietness.
• Stringent Quality Control: Rigorous inspection of dimensions, tooth geometry, contact patterns (using marking compound), backlash, and material properties.
• Versatile Applications: Manufacturing bevel gears for differentials, machine tools, industrial gearboxes, agricultural machinery, construction equipment, and various custom machinery requiring right-angle power transmission.
• Customization: Producing custom-bevel-gear sets based on specific ratios, modules/DP, shaft angles, materials, hardness requirements, and mounting configurations as per customer drawings or specifications.
