Steel Miter Bevel Gears Ratio 1:1 Straight Tooth System
Steel miter bevel gears with a 1:1 ratio and straight tooth system are a specialized type of bevel gear designed to transmit rotational motion between two intersecting shafts, typically at a 90-degree angle, without altering speed or torque. The 1:1 ratio indicates that both gears have an equal number of teeth, ensuring identical rotational speeds for the input and output shafts. The straight tooth design, characterized by teeth cut parallel to the gear’s cone generators, resembles a conical spur gear and is simpler to manufacture than spiral or zerol bevel gears.

The straight tooth design, characterized by teeth cut parallel to the gear’s cone generators, resembles a conical spur gear and is simpler to manufacture than spiral or zerol bevel gears.
However, this design results in abrupt tooth engagement, leading to higher noise and stress, limiting their use to lower-speed applications (typically under 1000 feet/min or 1000 rpm for small gears). Made from steel (e.g., C45 or stainless steel), these gears offer durability and strength, suitable for applications like robotics, conveyor systems, and printing presses, where precise directional changes are needed. Their octoidal tooth profile ensures proper meshing, and they are often produced as matched pairs to maintain alignment and efficiency.

Different Types of Bevel Gears
Straight Bevel Gears
Straight bevel gears are the simplest type of bevel gears, featuring straight teeth that are parallel to the generatrix of the pitch cone. They are used in applications where high speeds and low to medium loads are present. However, straight bevel gears may generate more noise compared to other types of bevel gears due to the sudden engagement of the teeth.
Spiral Bevel Gears
Spiral bevel gears have curved teeth that are oblique to the generatrix of the pitch cone. The spiral angle of the teeth provides a gradual and smooth engagement, resulting in quieter operation and higher load capacity compared to straight bevel gears. Spiral bevel gears are commonly used in automotive differentials and industrial applications that require high speeds and heavy loads.
Hypoid Bevel Gears
Hypoid bevel gears are similar to spiral bevel gears but with a notable difference: the pitch cones of the gears do not intersect. Instead, the axes of the gears are offset, allowing for larger pinion diameters and improved tooth contact. This offset configuration provides several advantages, such as higher torque capacity, reduced noise, and more compact designs. Hypoid gears are frequently used in automotive rear axles and industrial gearboxes.
Zerol Bevel Gears
Zerol bevel gears are a special case of spiral bevel gears, where the spiral angle is zero. This means that the teeth are parallel to the axis of rotation, similar to straight bevel gears. However, unlike straight bevel gears, Zerol bevel gears have a curved tooth profile that allows for smooth and gradual engagement. Zerol bevel gears offer a balance between the benefits of straight and spiral bevel gears, providing improved load capacity and quieter operation compared to straight bevel gears.
Miter Gears
Miter gears are a specific type of bevel gear where the number of teeth on both gears is equal, and the shaft angle is 90°. This configuration results in a 1:1 gear ratio, making miter gears ideal for applications that require a change in the direction of rotation without altering the speed or torque. Miter gears can have straight, spiral, or Zerol teeth.
