1. Structure and Principle

The gear teeth of spiral bevel gears are distributed on the conical surface in a spiral shape. Its working principle is based on the meshing transmission of gears. When two spiral bevel gears mesh with each other, the rotational motion of the driving gear is transmitted to the driven gear through the contact of the gear teeth. This spiral structure makes the tooth surface contact gradually during the meshing process, rather than instantaneous impact contact.

2. Performance Advantages

High Stability

Since the tooth surface contact is gradual, compared with straight bevel gears, spiral bevel gears produce less vibration and noise during the transmission process. This feature makes it perform well in equipment with high requirements for running smoothness and low noise, such as the rear axle transmission system of automobiles and the transmission device of precision machine tools.

Strong load-bearing capacity

The contact stress distribution of the tooth surface of spiral bevel gears is relatively reasonable, and it can better withstand larger loads when transmitting power. In some heavy machinery, such as mining machinery and engineering machinery, it can reliably transmit high power to meet the high-intensity working requirements of the equipment.

High transmission efficiency

Its reasonable tooth shape and meshing mode reduce the loss of energy during the transmission process, thus having a high transmission efficiency. This helps to reduce the energy consumption of the equipment and improve the overall performance of the equipment.

Strong adaptability

Spiral bevel gears can be designed and manufactured according to different transmission ratio requirements, and can adapt to different installation spaces and working conditions. Whether in high-speed equipment or in low-speed and high-torque equipment, it can play its good transmission performance.

3. Application fields

Automotive industry

In addition to the rear axle of the car, it is also widely used in the transmission and other components of the car to provide smooth power transmission for the car and improve the driving comfort.

Aerospace

In the engine accessory transmission system of the aircraft, the spiral bevel gears ensure the normal operation of the various accessories of the aircraft engine with its high reliability and stability.

Industrial manufacturing

In various industrial equipment, such as printing machines, textile machines and other equipment, spiral bevel gears are used for precise power transmission to ensure the stable operation of the equipment and product quality.
