    With straight, conically shaped teeth and a 1:1 speed ratio, miter gears connect two shafts at an angle without changing shaft speed or torque. They're more efficient than spiral miter gears because they create less friction.
    For two gears to mesh correctly, they must have the same pressure angle, shaft angle, pitch/module, and number of teeth.
    1045 Carbon Steel, 1117 Carbon Steel, and 1144 Carbon Steel—Carbon steel gears have hard, strong, and wear-resistant teeth. They’re best for heavy duty and high-torque applications, such as lifting equipment. However, these gears will rust when exposed to moisture or corrosive chemicals. Some gears have hardened teeth for additional wear resistance; gears with teeth that are not hardened can be hardened to fit your application.
    303 Stainless Steel—303 stainless steel gears won’t rust in damp or wet environments. They’re commonly used in food-processing plants and other areas where frequent cleaning takes place.

    Gears Sold Separately

    Connect two shafts at a right angle without changing shaft speed or torque. Made of plastic, these gears run quieter than metal gears and have good corrosion and chemical resistance.
    For two gears to mesh correctly, they must have the same pressure angle, pitch/module, and number of teeth.
    Nylon—Nylon gears are self-lubricating, so they’re often used in food machinery. However, they’re not approved for direct contact with food or chemicals that will come into contact with food.
    Acetal—Acetal gears absorb less moisture than nylon gears and are less prone to dimensional change. They’re best suited for use in light duty applications such as prototyping.

    Also known as spiral miter gears, these gears have curved teeth that stay in contact longer than straight teeth so they handle heavier loads at higher speeds. They run quieter than standard miter gears because the teeth gradually engage. Use them to transmit motion at a right angle while maintaining shaft speed and torque. Gears are carbon steel for strength. Teeth are hardened for wear resistance.
    Gears must be identical in order to mesh correctly; they're sold as a pair.
