Plastic bevel gears

How does a bevel gear work?

Bevel gears are used to transmit forces or torques.
A bevel gearbox consists of at least two bevel gears, the axes of which are at a specific angle to one another.
The bevel gears can have both the same and different sizes. This depends on the number of teeth, the module and the resulting gear ratio.

At igus, we offer bevel gears with different transmission ratios, which can be mounted at an axis angle
of 90 degrees.
In combination, bevel gears can run both clockwise and counter-clockwise.

Bevel gears in practice

Due to the constantly increasing variety of products and different batch sizes, the flexibility of the equipment used in production is becoming more and more important. This aspect plays a very important role in the packaging industry. With their high wear resistance, the maintenance-free bevel gears ensure reliable production and maximum efficiency, and additional lubricants can be dispensed with. If aggressive cleaners are used in production or, for e.g, FDA compliance is required, we have the right solution for you, as a catalogue part or as a customer-specific special solution.
