Spiral bevel gears are usually made from hardened steel. One’s teeth of these gears are often ground for a more precise finish allowing for little noise at high speeds. You can specify left hand or right hand depending on the direction you should run the gears

If you have a higher speed application that requires a lot of torque after that spiral bevel gears are a great choice. The gears operate at 90° to each other and have “spiral” shaped tooth which provides maximum tooth surface contact while rotating. With get in touch with spread over the whole tooth the spiral bevel equipment can be run much quicker than the straight tooth bevel equipment and handle harder starts and stops.

We make spiral bevel gears limited to industrial applications.

Worm gears are used in large equipment reductions. Gear ratio ranges of 5:1 to 300:1 are standard. The setup was created so that the worm can change the gear, but the equipment cannot turn the worm. The position of the worm is usually shallow and as a result the gear is held in place due to the friction between your two. The equipment is found in applications such as conveyor systems in which the locking feature can act as a brake or a crisis stop.

The model cross-section shows a typical placement and use of a worm gear. Worm gears have an inherent security mechanism built-in to its design given that they cannot function in the invert direction.
