Winkelgetriebe verstehen: Definition und Kernfunktion
Bevel gears redirect movements efficiently and contribute to increased machine performance. They are an important component of modern drive technology. ATEK Drive Solutions GmbH offers a wide range of solutions for this.
What exactly is a bevel gear?
Ein Bevel gears is used to precisely guide rotational movements and torques “around the corner” between shafts that are usually at a 90-degree angle to each other. It allows for space-saving arrangements of motors in compact manufacturing systems. This capability to redirect is often crucial for innovative machine concepts. ATEK offers a variety of gear-options.
Distinction and unique role in drive technology
Unlike coaxial gears, bevel gears allow for a change in direction of the drive shaft, defining their specific role in drive technology. This is particularly advantageous in cramped conditions, which are often encountered in mechanical engineering. The right selection, for example of a bevel gear set, can increase system efficiency by up to 10%. ATEK provides support in the design.Diversity in focus: Important designs of bevel gears
Bevel and hypoid gears: Precision and power
bevel gear sets use bevel gears for power transmission. In contrast, hypoid gears achieve higher torques and improved smoothness through an offset axis. ATEK uses special hypoid gears for applications with high loads that allow for a torque increase of 15%. hypoid gears für Anwendungen mit hohen Lasten ein, die eine Drehmomentsteigerung von 15% ermöglichen. The choice of tooth type significantly affects performance and lifespan.
- Bevel gear sets: Use bevel gears for precise power transmission.
- Hypoid gears: Offer higher torques and improved smoothness through axis offset.
- Tooth type: A critical factor that significantly affects performance and lifespan.
- Worm gears: Ideal for self-locking and high gear ratios in small spaces, often with lower efficiency.
- Combination solutions (e.g., bevel-planetary gears): Modular systems for an extended range of applications and high efficiencies (over 90%).
- ATEK solutions: Include special hypoid gears for high loads and innovative bevel-planetary gears.
Worm gears and combination solutions
are suitable for applications that require self-locking or very high gear ratios in small spaces. They often exhibit these properties but tend to have a lower efficiency. A powerful alternative are combinations, such as the bevel-planetary gears developed by ATEK. worm gears an. Sie weisen diese Eigenschaften oft auf, haben aber tendenziell einen geringeren Wirkungsgrad.
