A bevel gear provides torque and rotation at 90 degrees, and a helical gear provides it at 180 degrees.

Why are helical gears more favourable than spur gears?

bevel gears are used for power transmitting between the shafts which intersect at some angel ( usually right angel) , but the spur gear is used for shafts which are parallel and coplanar.


What is stronger a spiral bevel gear or a straight cut bevel gear?

If both gears designed and manufactured correctly, spiralbevel gear is stronger compare to a straight bevel gear. Spiral bevel gear is also quieter. For example, in mineral processing industry, spiral bevel gears are used in rock crashers because of the higher endurance. When the tooth is spiral (helical) it becomes possible to increase the size of the gear tooth without reduction of the contact ratio. The larger tooth is stronger compare to a smaller tooth. The reason why straight bevel gears are still used is because spiral bevel gears are more expensive in design and manufacturing, thanks to use of expensive spiralbevel gear cutting machines from Gleason Works or from Klingelnberg AG. In 1990, it became possible to manufacture spiral bevel gears on universal CNC milling machines, because of the development of special spiralbevel software for 3d CAD gear tooth modeling. Today, thanks to spiralbevel software, both straight and spiral bevel gears are manufactured on CNC milling machines at the same low cost.


What can Bevel gears be used in?

Bevel gears can be used to change the direction of drive in a gear system by 90 degrees


Which gear type does not have axial thrust?

herring bone gear (Double helical ) doesn't axial thrust


How do you weld a bevel broken gear?

You don't. You will never keep the tooth profiles right and will screw up the heat treatment. Get another gear!

What are the teeth of gear called in technology?

It is called a gear tooth. There can be many types of teeth based on the gear design; such as spur, helical, straight bevel, spiral bevel, hypoid, and several others.


What is a helical gear?

A helical is a spur gear with an angle along the face to increase the gear contact ratio. The gear teeth are cut at angles http://www.motioncontrolguide.com/learn/faqs/gearboxes-and-gears/helical-gears/what-is-the-difference-between-a-helical-gearbox-and-a-straight-gear-tooth-gearbox/ hope this helps


What is difference between bevel gear and worm wheel?

A bevel gear is cone shaped with the gear teeth placed vertically along the periphery. A worm gear is barrel shaped with the teeth spiraling along the length like a screw.


Where is bevel gear assembly?

a bevel gear assembly.


How much the flow difference in helical gear compare to spur gear?

The flow difference in gear compares because it spurs for 5 hours.


What is an example of Bevel Gear?

An example of a bevel gear is a hand drill.


How does a bevel gear work?

bevel gear is driven by a ring gear thus turning the axles


What are the different types of gear combinations used in mechanical systems?

There are three main types of gear combinations used in mechanical systems: spur gears, helical gears, and bevel gears. Spur gears have straight teeth and are used for simple applications. Helical gears have angled teeth for smoother operation and higher loads. Bevel gears have cone-shaped teeth and are used to change the direction of rotation.

bevel gears are used for power transmitting between the shafts which intersect at some angel ( usually right angel) , but the spur gear is used for shafts which are parallel and coplanar.


What is the gear ratio of the bevel gear?

Gear ratio of bevel gears isnumber of ring gear teeth divided by number of pinion gear teeth.
