BEVEL GEARS

 Bevel gears are cut on conical blanks to be used to transmit motion between intersecting
shafts.
 Straight tooth bevel gear (Straight bevel gear) are cut straight parallel to the cone axis
like spur gears
 The teeth have a taper and if extended inward would intersect each other at the axis.
 Bevel gears are usually made for a shaft angle of 90 deg.

 When two gears intersect at right angles and the gears have the same number of teeth
they are called miter gears.
Spiral teeth bevel gears are called spiral bevel gears or hypoid gears.
GEOMETRY

 The shape of the teeth are defined at the large end of the back cones.
 The diametral pitch refers to the back cone of the gear.
