BEVEL GEARS

Dr. Pham Minh Tuan

 Fundamentals & Classification
 Bevel gear drive can transmit rotation and torque between two in-
plane and nonparallel shafts (normally 90°).

Straight bevel gears Spiral bevel gears Zerol bevel gears

 Geometrical parameters

Number of teeth: Z
Pitch angle: δ
Outer pitch diameter: de
Dedendum cone diameter: dfe
Outside/addendum cone diameter: dae
Outer cone distance: Re
Face width: be
Outer module: me (Standardized as module of spur gears)
 Geometrical parameters
Pitch angle: δ1 = arctg(Z2/Z1) ; δ2 = arctg(Z1/Z2)

Face width:
be = ψbeRe
(ψbe = 0,25 ÷ 0,3)

Outer pitch diameter: de1/2 = meZ1/2

Tooth height: he = hae + hfe = me + 1,2me = 2,2me
Addendum cone diameter : dae1/2 = de1/2 + 2hae1/2cosδ1/2
Dedendum cone diameter: dfe1/2 = de1/2 + 2hfe1/2cosδ1/2
