Description

This and the linked website(s) are under construction since 8.3.2020. I try to fill the content quickly in addition to my job. Therefore please have a little patience. @bavariaSHAPE

Partly because of the noise they generate, bevel gears are not used as often as other types of gear. But they are still used in certain sectors, such as food packaging and canned food, lawn and garden equipment, machines such as drills and mills, compression systems for the gas and oil market and flow control valves.

Spiral bevel gears have curved teeth to provide softer engagement and greater tooth to tooth contact compared to a straight bevel gear. This reduces the vibration and noise. They can be used at high speeds and are typically used in motorcycle and bicycle transmissions.
