Bevel and Mitre Gears
Design and Selection
The power steel bevel gears can transmit under ideal lubrication
conditions is normally limited by wear life. The following tables
give design power in kW for a normal operating life of 10,000
hours for stock gears. For increased life gears can be induction
hardened.
Interchangeability
1.
From details of Driver and Driven equipment select correct
Service Factor from table below.
2. Calculate Design Power kW
Design Power = Actual Power Service factor.
3. If Drive ratio not available determine from
R.P High Speed Shaft
.M.
Ratio =
R.P Low Speed Shaft
.M.
4. From table for Drive Ratio (i.e. 1:1 Mitre Gear, 1.5:1 to 4:1
Bevel Gears), select smallest gearset where Power equals or
exceeds Design power at Pinion R.P For variable speed
.M.
drives check selection at max. shaft speed, torque and power.
For useful formulae on Bevel Gears design refer to appendix
pages.
Installation
All mitre and bevel gears develop end thrust which must be
counteracted by bearings of adequate capacity. Accurate and rigid
mounting of both gear and pinion provide quiet operation and
long life. Bearing spacing and shaft stiffness should be selected to
keep shaft deflection below .025mm.
Lubrication
Grease lubrication can be adequate for low speed applications but
oil splash lubrication is always preferable. The oil level should
cover the face of the lower gear, and sufficient capacity should be
available to keep oil temperature below 95˚C.

When correctly aligned, a bevel gearset with oil lubrication can
operate with transmission efficiency up to 98 per cent.
+44 121 360 0155
For correct selection of a Bevel Gearset first assemble application
data, including Power, shaft speeds and drive ratio required.
Bevel gears of identical pitch and teeth but from different drive
ratio gearsets are not interchangeable. All bevel gears are
generated on the pitch cone radius which varies with the ratio of
gears within a given diametral pitch.
Te l
Bevel and Mitre Gears are used to transmit power between shafts
intersecting at 90˚, on low speed, high torque applications where
pitch line velocity does not exceed 5 m/s. All Cross+Morse gears
are cut to the Gleason System to provide equal strength between
pinion and gear.
