FCGear BevelGear

Description
Partly because of the noise they generate, bevel gears are not used as often as other types of gear. But they are still used in certain sectors, such as food packaging and canned food, lawn and garden equipment, machines such as drills and mills, compression systems for the gas and oil market and flow control valves.

Spiral bevel gears have curved teeth to provide softer engagement and greater tooth to tooth contact compared to a straight bevel gear. This reduces the vibration and noise. They can be used at high speeds and are typically used in motorcycle and bicycle transmissions.

Data

 * : Placement is the location and orientation of an object in space.
 * : User name of the object in the Tree view.


 * : With the angle β a helical bevel gear is created (positive value → rotation direction right, negative value → rotation direction left).


 * : Default is 0,00. Backlash, also called lash or play, is the distance between the teeths at a gear pair.
 * : Default is 0,10 (see also the information in ).
 * : Value for the bevel gear width.
 * : Module is the ratio of the reference diameter of the gear divided by the number of teeth (see also the information in ).
 * : Default is 6, change of the involute profile. Changing the value can lead to unexpected results.
 * : If the value is, the center of the axis is at the center of the bottom of the gear (see also the information in ).
 * : Number of teeth.


 * : Angle of taper.
 * : Default is 20 (see also the information in ).
