Spiral Bevel Gear sets are widely used in industrial gearboxes, vehicles, aircraft and other fields due to their excellent physical properties.
Spiral
Bevel Gear sets have a wide range of applications, which are specifically reflected in the following aspects:
Automotive industry: In the automotive industry, spiral bevel gear sets are used in the drive system of rear-wheel drive vehicles to drive the rotation of the rear wheels through the longitudinally mounted engine and automatic transmission. In passenger cars, 80% of
Spiral Bevel Gears use ground teeth, while 20% use ground teeth. Spiral
Bevel Gears are also widely used in the drive components of all-wheel drive vehicles.
Railway drive: In railway drive, whether it is electric motor or diesel engine powered railway vehicles, spiral bevel gear sets transmit rotation and torque to the axle through the drive shaft and bevel gear transmission.
Construction machinery: In construction machinery, spiral bevel gear sets are used in hydraulically controlled power systems to drive auxiliary devices. These gears can be manufactured according to manufacturing processes such as milling and grinding, and do not require any hard processing after heat treatment.
Aviation field: Jet aircraft and helicopters both use bevel gear sets for the transmission of auxiliary motion. Jet aircraft are powered by a main shaft and driven by a bevel gear set. Multiple sets of hypoid gears are used in helicopter transmissions, and the shaft angle of the bevel gear set is generally less than 90 degrees.
Industrial gearboxes: Industrial gearboxes with bevel gears are used in many different industries, mainly for changing speed and changing the direction of transmission. The diameter of the ring gear of industrial gearboxes ranges from less than 50mm to 2000mm, and is generally scraped or ground after heat treatment.
Marine transmissions: In marine transmissions, spiral bevel gear sets are used in stern drives (commonly called "outboard engines") and propulsion systems of ocean-going vessels. By installing two helical gears between the engine and the propeller, the bevel gear drives the propeller shaft, allowing it to continuously change angles along the hull to the stern.
In summary, spiral bevel gear sets play an important role in many fields due to their unique physical properties and wide application requirements. From automobiles, railways to aviation and marine engineering, they are indispensable transmission components.
