A type of miter gear where one gear is smaller than the other, bevel gears provide right-angle speed reduction at ratios ranging from 2:1 to 5:1. They’re more efficient than worm gears because they create less friction.

Also known as spiral miter gears, these gears have curved teeth that gradually engage and stay in contact longer than straight teeth so they handle heavier loads at higher speeds. Speed ratio is 1:1.

Reduce speeds where noise, corrosion, and frequent lubrication are a concern. Compared to metal gears, these nylon gears run more quietly, won't rust, and don't need to be lubricated.

Achieve precise, constant speed for timing and positioning applications.
