The modified helical teeth of spiral bevel gears create dependable, tooth-to-tooth traction that minimizes backlash and prevents the gears from slipping. The gears are carefully spaced to allow lubricants to be spread evenly. The spiral bevel gears in a MITRPAK® gearbox are precisely adjusted via a unique, adjustable locknut design.
Spiral bevel gears are designed for applications that require high speed and high torque power. They can help cut consumer costs by providing long-lasting performance with minimal need for repairs or replacements. With spiral bevel gears, there is no need for offsets and a significantly reduced risk of overheating. Curved teeth and deeper traction between those teeth ensures greater asset availability to improve flexible performance and extend equipment life.
