Bevel gearbox with bevel gear

Bevel gear drives are designed for industrial applications where rotational power must be transferred between two shafts at right angles to each other. Defining the operating conditions involves considering a number of factors such as the type of duty cycle (intermittent, continuous), radial and axial loads on the shaft ends, maximum and minimum temperatures, environmental conditions (e.g. dust and dirt levels) and the type of lubricant used.
