FAQ
What is the primary use of a 1 1 bevel gear?
The primary use is to change the direction of shaft rotation by 90 degrees while maintaining the same rotational speed (1:1 ratio). It's essential in applications where space constraints or design requirements demand a right-angle power transmission.
Can you customize the bore size and keyway of the gears?
Yes, customization is a core service. We can manufacture 1 1 bevel gears to your exact bore diameter, keyway dimensions (per ANSI, DIN, or JIS standards), and even with special features like set screws, splines, or custom hubs.
What material is best for corrosive environments?
For highly corrosive environments (marine, chemical processing, food & beverage), we recommend stainless steel (Grade 316/316L) or engineered polymer gears. For moderate conditions, coated or plated alloy steels are also an effective option.
How do I determine the required module/pitch and face width for my application?
This depends on the transmitted torque, rotational speed, and desired service life. Our engineering team can assist you with this calculation. Please provide your operational parameters (torque, RPM, duty cycle) for a precise recommendation.
What is your lead time for standard and custom orders?
Lead times vary based on specifications and order volume. Standard catalog items typically have shorter lead times. We provide transparent scheduling upon quotation and work proactively to meet your project deadlines.
