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 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.


How to mill spiral bevel gears?

Traditionally, spiral bevel gear milling machines from Gleason Works are used for milling of spiral bevel gears. However, less expensive and more popular universal milling machines have been recently used for milling. Correct 3-d CAD model of the gear tooth is the key element for milling a spiral bevel gear on a CNC milling machine. The CAD model of the gear tooth is produced on special "SPIRAL BEVEL GEAR SOFTWARE".


What are the 3 types of bevel gear in a rear axle?

The three types of bevel gears commonly used in rear axles are straight bevel gears, spiral bevel gears, and zero bevel gears. Straight bevel gears feature straight teeth and are simpler in design, while spiral bevel gears have curved teeth that allow for smoother and quieter operation, making them more efficient. Zero bevel gears, also known as hypoid gears, have their axes offset, which enables high torque transmission and improved load capacity. Each type has its own advantages, making them suitable for different applications in automotive design.


A) State three types of bevel gear employed in rear axles state which is most commonly used?

The three types of bevel gears commonly used in rear axles are straight bevel gears, spiral bevel gears, and hypoid bevel gears. Among these, spiral bevel gears are the most commonly used due to their smooth operation, higher load capacity, and ability to transmit power at right angles with less noise and wear compared to straight bevel gears. Hypoid bevel gears are also popular for similar reasons but are typically found in applications requiring a lower center of gravity.

Straight cut bevel gear how to make?

To make a straight cut bevel gear, start by selecting a suitable material, such as steel or aluminum. Use a gear cutting machine or a CNC mill equipped with a bevel gear cutter to shape the gear teeth at the desired angle. Ensure proper calculations for the pitch diameter and tooth profile to maintain engagement with the mating gear. Finally, finish the gear by deburring and polishing the edges to enhance performance and reduce wear.
