It is useful when there is a need to change the direction of the shaft. True Gear and Spline Ltd. also specializes in bevel gear cutting.

The most common example of bevel gears at work is an automobile differential. Most of our clients are coming from automotive companies that need bevel gears services. In automobile system, the drive shaft of the motor must transfer its power at a right angle to the axle of the wheels. These bevel gears have the same diameter and number of teeth, so they will each turn at the same rate. They are usually mounted on shafts that are 90 degrees apart but can be designed to work at other angles as well.
Whenever there is a need to change the direction of shafts, bevel gears will be very useful. The teeth on bevel gears can be straight or spiral. The industries that commonly use different types of gears are locomotives, marines, automobiles, printing presses, cooling towers, power plants, steel plants, railway track inspection system and many others. Another illustration of the mechanism of bevel gears is on hand drills. As the handle of the drills is turned, the bevel gears change the rotation of the chuck to a horizontal rotation.
Bevel gears are classified into four types such as miter gears, angular bevel gears, crown bevel gears, and internal bevel gears. These four types vary in functions and mechanism. In True Gear and Spline Ltd., we cater various types of bevel gear cutting services. You can be assured of the precision and efficiency of our cutting services done by our high-caliber technicians.
