What is right-angle worm gearbox?

Right-angle gears such as bevel, worm and hypoid gears are used to create drive trains that can transmit torque 90 degrees, to turn a corner, while also being good for space saving. Because of these difficulties, assembly of this small, right-angle gears tend to take much longer that what machine designers expected.

What is a right-angle drive?

A right-angle gearbox is one in which the driveshaft and the output shaft meet at a 90o angle, using rotation to transfer power. Right-angle gearboxes are used in numerous types of mechanical designs – automotive transmissions, for example.

What are right-angle gears called?

bevel gears
Mitre gears are a special case of bevel gears that have equal numbers of teeth. The shafts are positioned at right angles from each other, and the gears have matching pitch surfaces and angles, with a conically-shaped pitch surface.

What is right angle reducer?
