Basic design of bevel-helical gear units

A bevel-helical gear unit generally consists of a bevel crown gear, a bevel pinion and a housing. The bevel pinion drives the bevel crown gear and thus provides the gear ratio. The roller-type gearing used in the gear unit has a low proportion of sliding motion and thus ensures high level of efficiency. The drive and output shafts are arranged at an angle to each other, often at 90°, though other angles are also possible. This angular offset allows the forces to be redirected and is one of the main features of this type of gear unit. Because the driven gear is large, bevel-helical gear units are ideal when a hollow-shaft version is required. With a pure bevel-helical gear unit, the gear ratios that can be achieved tend to be smaller, for which reason they are often combined with additional gear unit stages. Planet and helical gear stages are particularly suitable for these combinations.
