This document discusses bevel gears, which are useful for changing the direction of shaft rotation by 90 degrees. Bevel gears can have straight, spiral, or hypoid teeth and are commonly used in applications like locomotives, marine vessels, automobiles, and industrial machinery. The document explains the components of bevel gears like the pitch cone and cone center. It also discusses how to develop involute teeth on the cone surface of bevel gears. The advantages of bevel gears are also summarized, such as their quiet operation and high efficiency compared to other gear types.

2. BEVEL GEARS
Bevel gears are useful when the direction of a shaft's rotation needs to be changed
They are usually mounted on shafts that are 90 degrees apart, but can be designed
to work at other angles as well
The teeth on bevel gears can be straight, spiral or hypoid
Applications: locomotives, marine applications, automobiles, printing presses, cooling
towers, power plants, steel plants, railway track inspection machines, etc.

Disadvantages
•High costs.
•Bevel gears are manufactured in pairs. For
maintenance and repair, both gears must be replaced.
•In order to achieve high efficiency, bevel gear sets
must be positioned exactly, so the shafts must be
adjusted very precisely.
•Limited translation range. Maximum ratio of 6:1 per
bevel gear set. Spur gear stages are necessary in order
to achieve a higher overall gear ratio.
•Bevel gears are not recommended for high-speed
reduction. At high speed, a bevel gear unit generates
noise.
Advantages
•Quiet Operating noise (Quiet operation is
particularly advantageous in environments
such as theatres or airports.)
•Increased torque capacity compared to worm
gears of the same size.
•High efficiency (rolling of bevel gears is very
efficient compared to the sliding effect of worm
gears (98.5%). The metal bevel gear teeth never
come into direct contact with an oil film.)
•Hollow shaft possible
6. Pitch cone: The pitch cone is the pitch surface of a
bevel gear in a gear pair.
Cone centre: The cone centre is the apex of the pitch cone.
Pitch cone radius (r): The pitch cone radius is the length
of the pitch cone element.
Pitch angle (γ): The pitch angle is the angle that the pitch
line makes with the axis of the gear.
γ
Back cone: The back cone is an imaginary cone the elements of
which are perpendicular to the elements of the pitch cone at the
larger end of the tooth.
