Right angle bevel gearboxes have
curved and oblique teeth and are used for high speed and high
performance industrial machines. The gears are compact and designed for
a noise free operation. Nomenclature of a Bevel gear box is given in
this diagram
Before we go on to discuss what is a right angle gear box is all about,
it would be worthwhile to know a bit about Bevel gears. A bevel gear is
actually made typically in the shape of a cone. They get deployed in
pairs. They are used for connecting intersecting shafts. Generally
Normally they get mounted on shafts which are at right angle to each
other hence their name right angle" bevel gears. However, it must
be noted that bevel gears are not only restricted to 90° mounting.
