BEVEL GEAR
 Bevel gears are used to
transmit motion between
two intersecting axes
shafts.
 The teeth of the bevel
gears may be straight or
spiral.
 Although the bevel gears
are usually made for a
shaft angle of 90 degree,
they can be produced for
almost any shaft angle.
BEVEL GEAR
APPLICATIONS OF BEVEL GEARS

Bevel gears are used in differential drives, which can


transmit power to two axles spinning at different
speeds, such as those on a cornering automobile.

Bevel gears are used as the main mechanism for a


hand drill. As the handle of the drill is turned in a
vertical direction, the bevel gears change the rotation of
the chuck to a horizontal rotation. The bevel gears in a
hand drill have the added advantage of increasing the
speed of rotation of the chuck and this makes it possible
to drill a range of materials.
