Tribology Aspects in Angular Transmission Systems Part IV: Spiral Bevel Gears

摘要

The axes of spiral bevel gears in most cases intersect under an angle of 90°. This so-called shaft angle can be larger or smaller than 90°; however, the axes always intersect, which means they have, at their crossing point, no offset between them (Author's Note: see upcoming chapter on "hypoid gears").
