BEVEL GEARS

BEVEL GEARS
A bevel gear is shaped like a right circular cone with
most of its tip cut off. When two bevel gears mesh, their
imaginary vertices must occupy the same point.
 shaped like a right circular cone with most of its tip cut
off
 Their shaft axes also intersect at this point, forming an
arbitrary non-straight angle between the shafts
 Bevel gears with equal numbers of teeth and shaft axes
at 90 degrees are called mitre gears.
 The teeth on bevel gears can be straight, spiral or
hypoid.

7. VELOCITY RATIO
SAMPLE PROBLEM:
1. A pair of staright-toothed bevel gear meshes
with a shaft angle of 45° and a module of 5.08.
The pinion has 16 teeth and a pitch cone angle of
20°. The gear ratio is 3:2. Determine the
a. Number of teeth on the gear
b. Pitch diameters of both the pinion and gear
c. Back-cone distance of the gear
d. Back-cone angle of the gear
SAMPLE PROBLEM:
2. Two straight-toothed bevel gears mesh with a
shaft angle of 90 degree and a diametral pitch of
5. The pinon has 20 teeth, and the gear ration is
2:1. The addendum and dedendum are the same
as for 20 degree stub teeth. For the gear,
determine the
a. Pitch radius
b. Cone angle or face angle
c. Outside diameter of gear
d. Cone distance
