Miter Gears are a type of bevel gear designed to transmit rotational motion between two intersecting shafts at a 90-degree angle. Unlike other bevel Gears, the miter Gear has a 1:1 gear ratio, meaning that both Gears in the pair have the same number of teeth and rotate at the same speed. They are commonly used when the direction of rotation needs to be changed without altering the speed.
Application of Miter Gear
Miter Gear are bevel Gear with a 1:1 ratio, typically used to transmit motion between intersecting shafts at a right angle (90 degrees). Here are some common applications:
- Machine Tools: Used in lathes, drills, and milling machines for directional changes in rotation.
- Automotive Systems: Applied in differentials to allow wheels to rotate at different speeds during cornering.
- Robotics: Help change the direction of torque and motion in robot joints and arms.
- Conveyor Systems: Used in material-handling equipment for precise movement control.
- Power Transmission Equipment: Found in small gearboxes and drives where input and output shafts are at right angles.
- Hand Tools: Used in tools like hand drills to change the axis of rotation for improved handling
