Beval Gearboxes

What is a Right Angled Bevel Gearbox?

Right Angle Bevel gearboxes have the drive shaft and output shaft arranged at 90 degrees, this single rotating drive shaft can operate at a right angle or distribute into two or three output shafts.

Mecvel offer six different sizes from 4Nm up to 65Nm in 2 and 3 way configurations. Bevel gearboxes with 1:1 ratios are used in multiple screw jack systems for the synchronisation of the jacks.

What information is needed to select a right angle bevel gearbox?

• a) Input Power 
• b) Input speed
• c) Target output speed
• d)Target output Torque
• e)Type of Load
• f) Duty Factor
• g)Mounting configuration

Important factors to consider when sizing right angle bevel gearboxes:

• They are designed for input speeds up to 1400rpm although they can run up to 3000 rpm but only for short periods.
• Loadings , especially offset and shock loads.
• Installation - special care to minimise misalignment
• Low Temperature - special grease can be supplied for temp. below -20C
• Choosing the correct gearbox size will prevent premature failure.
