Bevel Gear Manufacturing supplier in Gurgaon

Bevel gears are the cone-shaped gears used to transmit power in the intersecting shafts. The teeth of the gear are conical to provide meshing. Mostly, they are used in the shafts located at 90 degrees apart but can be used to transmit power at other angles as well.

Two important things are concentrated while designing the bevel gears- Pitch angle and pitch surface. The pitch angle is the angle made by the pitch axis and surface of the pitch. While the pitch surface is an imaginary toothless surface generated while the gears are engaged.

The materials used for manufacturing the bevel gears are cast iron, non-metallic material, and non-ferrous material. The selection of the material to be used while manufacturing depends on the following points:

Ø  It’s application.

Ø  The working speed.

Ø  Method of production.

Ø  Amount of finish and accuracy required.

Ø  Other properties like shock resistance, wear resistance and allowable stress.

The materials used are:

Cast Iron: It contains excellent machinability, high wearing resistance and can be used for manufacturing large and complex shaped products.

Steel: The material provides high strength along with wear resistance by abrasion.

The other materials used are cast steel, plain carbon steel, alloy steel and Aluminum.

Summary: The pitch angle and pitch surface are the important factors in Bevel Gear Manufacturing. The procedure followed while producing bevel gears is Sawing, Turning, Gear cutting, Deburring, Black oxide finish and packaging. Thus the process provides better surface finish and accuracy to transfer power in intersecting shafts.
