Kartiohammaspyöräparit

Kartiohammaspyöräparit, also known as bevel gear sets, are a type of mechanical gear transmission used to change the direction of rotation and torque between shafts that are not parallel. Typically, these shafts intersect at an angle, most commonly 90 degrees, though other angles are also possible. The teeth of a bevel gear are cut on a conical surface, hence the name "bevel."

The fundamental principle behind a kartiohammaspyöräpari is the meshing of two conical gears. One gear is known as the drive gear, and the other is the driven gear. As the drive gear rotates, its teeth engage with the teeth of the driven gear, transferring rotational motion. This transfer can result in a change in speed, a change in torque, or a combination of both, depending on the ratio of the number of teeth on each gear.

Kartiohammaspyöräparit are employed in a wide variety of applications where a change in the angle of power transmission is required. Common uses include automotive differentials, power tools, industrial machinery, and robotics. Their ability to transmit power between intersecting shafts makes them a versatile component in mechanical design. The precision with which these gears are manufactured is crucial for smooth operation, minimal noise, and efficient power transfer.
