20CrMnTi High Precision Spiral Bevel Gears High-speed & Heavy-load Fields
Spiral Bevel Gears (also known as spiral bevel gears) are core precision transmission components for power transmission between intersecting shafts (usually 90°). With curved spiral teeth, they feature smoother transmission, higher load capacity and lower noise than straight bevel gears, widely used in high-speed & heavy-load fields such as automobiles, engineering machinery, reducers, aerospace, ships, etc.
Product Features
- Spiral Curved Tooth Structure: Tooth trace is arc spiral, progressive meshing contact without instantaneous impact
- Shaft Angle Adaptation: Mainly for 90° intersecting shafts; customizable for 30°–150° non-right angle transmission
- High Precision Grade: Industrial grade ISO 5–7 (GB/T 11365), precision grade up to 3–5
- Composite Load Capacity: Transmit torque while bearing radial & axial forces with balanced stress
- Low Noise & Smoothness: Large contact ratio, multi-tooth meshing, small vibration & shock, 10–15dB lower noise than straight teeth
- High Efficiency & Durability: Transmission efficiency 95%–98%, wear-resistant, anti-pitting, long service life
- Diverse Materials: Mainly alloy structural steels (20CrMnTi, 20CrMo, 42CrMo), strengthened by induction/carburizing quenching

Working Principle
- Spatial Meshing Transmission: Axes intersect (usually 90°), teeth distributed conically & spirally, realizing vertical direction change + torque transmission
- Progressive Meshing: Teeth engage gradually from end, full contact, smooth disengagement—no instantaneous impact, smoother than straight teeth
- Multi-tooth Load: Contact ratio ε=1.5–2.5, 2–3 tooth pairs loaded simultaneously, uniform load distribution & higher capacity
- Force Balance: Generate tangential, radial & axial forces; matched bearings required to support axial thrust
- Constant Ratio: Tooth ratio = inverse speed ratio (i=Z₂/Z₁=n₁/n₂), accurate & stable transmission
