Bevel Gear — Precision Right-Angle Transmission Solutions


When you seek high-precision angular power transmission for space-constrained and heavy-duty systems, YF Gear’s Bevel Gears deliver the perfect balance of compact design, high torque transfer, and quiet operation.

Engineered for automotive differentials, construction machinery steering systems, marine propulsion units, and aerospace landing gear, our gears provide proven durability and precision in the world’s most demanding powertrain environments.


Engineering Insight: Three Core Bevel Gear Solutions


Gear TypeDesign AdvantageTechnical FeatureTypical Application
Straight Bevel GearSimple design, high torque20CrMnTiH alloy steel, HRC60+ surface hardnessHeavy machinery, gearboxes
Spiral Bevel GearSmooth, quiet, higher contact ratio35° helix angle, 50% more contact area, ≤60dB noiseAutomotive differentials, robotics
Zerol Bevel GearNo axial thrust, precision meshingHelix angle ≈ 0°, for low-friction alignmentInstruments, aerospace drives

These three designs allow engineers to choose the right balance of strength, noise, and precision for each drivetrain project.

Quick Tip:
If your design needs direction change with maximum efficiency, choose Bevel Gears.
For parallel-axis speed reduction, use Helical Gears.
If compact and self-locking function is required, consider Worm Gears.


️ Manufacturing Workflow


  1. Design & Geometry Simulation – 3D CAD + KISSsoft modeling for optimal load distribution.

  2. Blank Preparation & CNC Cutting – High-precision hobbing & shaping.

  3. Heat Treatment – Carburizing or nitriding for hardness HRC58–62.

  4. Grinding & Tooth Surface Modification – Optimize contact under load.

  5. Quality Testing – Gear meshing analyzer + noise & backlash test.

  6. Assembly & Final Balancing – Pair gears matched for vibration < 0.5 mm/s.

  7. Packaging & Delivery – Anti-rust oil + export-ready crates.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)


Q1: What’s the difference between spiral and zerol bevel gears?

Spiral bevel gears have angled curved teeth for smooth and quiet transmission, while zerol bevel gears have near-zero helix angle to eliminate axial thrust, ideal for precision applications.


Q2: How to calculate torque capacity for a bevel gear?

Torque depends on module, tooth count, and material. We provide load simulation per ISO 6336 and FEA analysis for accurate torque data.


Q3: How do bevel gears achieve low noise operation?

By optimizing helix angle, precision grinding, and applying surface topology correction to minimize meshing vibration.


Q4: Can bevel gears replace worm gears?

In many cases yes — bevel gears provide higher efficiency (up to 99%) with similar right-angle transmission, though worm gears are self-locking.


Q5: What’s the typical lifespan of YF bevel gears?

Our spiral bevel gears exceed 100,000 km durability in field tests under alternating load cycles.



Q6: Do you supply matched bevel gear pairs?

Yes, all bevel gears are paired and tested to ensure perfect tooth contact and minimal backlash.


Q7: Can you provide reverse-engineering from samples?

Absolutely. We support 3D scanning, model reconstruction, and sample duplication services.


Q8: What industries use your bevel gears most?

Automotive, robotics, aerospace, construction, marine propulsion, and defense equipment.
