What is a bevel gearbox?

A bevel gearbox transmits power between shafts that are perpendicular to each other (typically at a 90-degree angle) using cone-shaped gears called bevel gears. AEI bevel gearboxes use Gleason-type spiral bevel gears, where the teeth are arranged in a spiral pattern. This design provides smooth engagement, quiet operation, and superior load-carrying capacity compared to straight-cut bevel gears. Bevel gearboxes are essential for applications requiring right-angle power transmission in a compact footprint.

When should I use a bevel gearbox instead of a worm gearbox?

Choose a bevel gearbox when you need (1) higher efficiency for continuous-duty applications, (2) lower heat generation, or (3) when backdriving or lowering under load control is required. Worm gearboxes offer self-locking capability and are better for load-holding applications. Bevel gearboxes are preferred for conveyor drives, synchronizing multi-jack systems, and any application where the load needs to move or lower under its own weight.

What are typical bevel gearbox applications?

AEI bevel gearboxes are used in: (1) Conveyor systems — belt and roller drive systems requiring 90-degree power transmission. (2) Material handling equipment — stackers, tiered conveyors, and level control systems. (3) Packaging machinery — format changeover systems and product positioning. (4) Synchronized multi-jack lifting — connecting multiple screw jacks through a single motor and bevel gearbox for platform levelling. (5) Mixer drive systems — industrial mixers requiring right-angle shaft coupling. (6) Pump systems — gear pump drives and fluid transfer applications. The compact design and efficient spiral bevel mesh make them ideal for space-constrained installations.

Right-Angle Transmission

Compact Spiral Bevel Gearboxes for 90-Degree Power Transmission

AEI bevel gearboxes enable smooth, efficient power transmission between perpendicular shafts using Gleason-type spiral bevel gears. The spiral tooth arrangement produces gradual engagement, resulting in quiet operation, low vibration, and superior load capacity compared to straight-cut bevel gears. Available in ratios from 5:1 to 50:1, our compact bevel gearbox designs fit into tight spaces while delivering reliable performance. Ideal for conveyor drive systems, material handling equipment, packaging machinery, and critical applications like synchronized multi-jack lifting where multiple motors must lift perfectly level loads.

Spiral vs. Straight-Cut Bevel Gears

Spiral Bevel Gears (AEI standard) — The teeth are angled in a spiral pattern across the tooth surface. As one tooth pair engages, another is already in contact, producing smooth, gradual force transfer. This results in low noise, minimal vibration, and 2–3 times higher load capacity than straight-cut designs. Ideal for continuous-duty applications and noise-sensitive environments.

Straight-Cut Bevel Gears — Teeth are cut perpendicular to the tooth surface. Engagement is sudden and shock-like, producing higher noise and vibration. Lower load capacity and efficiency. Suitable only for light-duty, intermittent applications.

Industry Solutions

Bevel Gearbox Applications

Proven performance in conveyor systems, material handling, and synchronized lifting.

Conveyor Drives

Horizontal and inclined conveyor belt drives requiring 90-degree power transmission from vertical to horizontal (or vice versa). The compact bevel gearbox design allows tight installation between a ceiling-mounted motor and a conveyor pulley.

Material Handling Equipment

Stackers, tiered conveyor systems, and level control equipment. Right-angle transmission enables compact equipment layout. Self-locking worm option available for load-holding on inclines.

Packaging Lines

Film advance systems, sealing bar drives, and package positioning. Food-grade stainless steel variants available for direct contact with food products and washdown environments.

Synchronized Multi-Jack Lifts

The critical link between a motor and multiple screw jacks in 2-point, 3-point, and 4-point synchronized systems. Bevel gearboxes distribute torque evenly, ensuring all jacks lift in perfect synchronization — essential for platform levelling and press adjustments.

Industrial Mixer Drives

Heavy-duty mixers for concrete, paint, chemicals, and food products. Right-angle gearbox couples a vertical motor shaft to a horizontal mixer shaft, providing smooth, reliable torque transmission.

Pump & Fluid Transfer

Gear pump drives and fluid transfer systems. The smooth engagement of spiral bevel gears minimizes vibration, protecting delicate pump mechanisms and extending component life in high-pressure applications.
