Gear Rack

Gears and rack components play a crucial role in mechanical systems. Bevel gears, with conical teeth, are used for changing the direction of rotation, while miter gears, a subset of bevel gears, facilitate a 90-degree angle transfer. Gear racks, featuring straight teeth, convert rotary motion to linear motion when paired with spur gears, the most common type with straight teeth for parallel shaft motion.

Bevel & Mitre Gears

Bevel & Mitre Gears

Bevel and Miter gears typically mesh at a 90-degree angle, they are often used in applications requiring a right angle transfer of motion.
