SPIRAL BEVEL GEARS

Limit: 24” OD | Pitch: 2.5 DP - 32 DP

Croix Gear offers extensive manufacturing capabilities for spiral bevel, straight bevel, hypoid bevel, and Zerol bevel gears in diverse sizes, base materials, and shaft types. Our spiral bevel gears are used in many industrial applications that need high torque and low-speed capabilities.

The advantage of the spiral tooth over the straight tooth is that they engage more gradually. The contact between the teeth starts at one end of the gear and then spreads across the whole tooth. This results in a less abrupt transfer of force when a new pair of teeth come in to play.

Spiral bevel gears are a type of bevel gear, which is used to transmit power between shafts that intersect at an angle. Unlike straight bevel gears, which have teeth that run perpendicular to the gear's face, spiral bevel gears have teeth that are angled in a spiral pattern around the gear's face. This spiral pattern allows the gears to transmit power more smoothly and with less noise than straight bevel gears.

Spiral bevel gears are used in a wide range of applications, including automotive transmissions, aircraft engines, marine propulsion systems, and industrial machinery. They are often used in situations where high torque and high-speed transmission are required, and where noise and vibration need to be minimized.

One of the key advantages of spiral bevel gears is their ability to transmit power smoothly, even at high speeds. This is due to the fact that the spiral angle of the teeth creates a more gradual contact between the gears, which reduces impact forces and noise. Additionally, spiral bevel gears are more efficient than straight bevel gears because they have a larger contact area, which allows them to transmit more power with less wear.

Another advantage of spiral bevel gears is their ability to handle large shaft angles. Because of the spiral angle of the teeth, spiral bevel gears can handle shaft angles up to 90 degrees with minimal noise and vibration.

In summary, spiral bevel gears are a versatile and efficient type of bevel gear that is used in a wide range of applications. Their unique spiral angle design allows them to transmit power smoothly and with less noise, making them ideal for high-speed and high-torque applications where noise and vibration need to be minimized.
