60° Angle Head Spiral Bevel Gear

The 60° angle head spiral bevel gear is a specially designed spiral bevel gear, whose main feature lies in that the axes of the gear pair intersect at one point and the intersection angle is 60°.

Design Principle and Advantages:

1. 60° angle design: The "60°" refers to the angle between the two gear axes (the axis intersection angle), meaning that the rotational axes of the driving and driven gears intersect at 60°. This meets the needs of angular transmission in compact spaces, eliminating the need for long transmission distances or additional steering devices.
2. Spiral bevel gear design: the tooth surface is spiral, the contact line is longer when meshed, and the transmission is smoother. Compared with the spur gear, the spiral teeth have less meshing impact, low noise, and stronger load-bearing capacity.

In summary, due to its angular adaptability and high reliability, the "60° angle head spiral bevel gear" is widely used in 60° shaft transmission applications requiring high precision, high loads, and low noise.

Typical industrial applications include:

1. Machine tool accessories: such as transmission components for angle heads (transmitting main spindle power to auxiliary shafts at different angles, enabling multi-axis machining);
2. Engineering machinery: steering mechanisms for excavators and loaders (transmitting power to the steering wheels for precise steering);
3. Aerospace: transmission gears for satellite attitude adjustment mechanisms (lightweight and high-precision, adapting to the temperature fluctuations of the space environment);
4. Energy sector: Drilling equipment for offshore platforms (resistant to seawater corrosion and capable of withstanding heavy load impacts);
5. Automotive: differential gears (although spur gears are commonly used, helical gears can be used in limited-slip differentials in high-end vehicles to improve ride smoothness).
