2.5 MOD Bevel Gears – Precision Gears for Bevel Spur Gearboxes

Discover premium bevel gears designed for high-precision power transmission in intersecting shaft applications. Here at Bolton Engineering Products Ltd (BEP Ltd), we are able to source 2.5 MOD bevel gears, which have been manufactured for reduced wear and long use life in a wide range of industries, including bevel spur gearboxes.

Our bevel gears are precision-manufactured to metric standards, making them ideal for applications where direction change, torque adjustment, and compact gearbox design are required.

What Is a Bevel Gear?

A bevel gear is a rotating mechanical component used to transmit power between shafts that intersect—most commonly at 90 degrees, but also at other angles.
Unlike spur gears, bevel gears redirect rotational motion while maintaining efficient torque transfer.

Bevel gears are widely used in:

• Bevel spur gearboxes
• Right-angle drives
• Compact transmission systems

They can also be configured to increase or reduce torque while inversely affecting rotational speed.

Why Choose 2.5 MOD Bevel Gears?

2.5 module bevel gears provide an excellent balance between strength, precision, and compact size, making them suitable for medium-load industrial applications.

Key Benefits

• Manufactured to metric module standards (2.5 MOD)
• Accurate tooth geometry for smooth meshing
• Reliable torque transmission at right angles
• Suitable for compact bevel spur gearbox designs
• Long operational life with consistent performance
• Available in multiple gear configurations

Types of Bevel Gears Available

Straight Bevel Gears

Straight bevel gears have teeth that are straight and taper toward the gear apex.

Advantages:

• Simple, cost-effective design
• Suitable for lower to moderate speeds
• Compact size options available
• Commonly used in light to medium-duty gearboxes
  

Straight bevel gears are often selected where simplicity and space efficiency are priorities.

Spiral Bevel Gears

Spiral bevel gears feature curved, angled teeth similar to helical gears.

Advantages:

• Higher load-carrying capacity
• Smoother and quieter operation
• Reduced vibration
• Improved tooth contact and strength

Spiral bevel gears are preferred in bevel spur gearboxes requiring higher performance and reduced noise.

Applications of 2.5 MOD Bevel Gears

Our bevel gears are used across a wide range of industries and systems, including:

• Bevel spur gearboxes
• Industrial machinery
• Automation and robotics
• Machine tools
• Material handling equipment
• Conveyor drives
• Mechanical transmission assemblies
• Alignment and positioning systems

They are ideal wherever rotational direction must change without sacrificing efficiency.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

What is a bevel spur gearbox?

A bevel spur gearbox includes bevel gears for reversing the direction of drive and spur gear stages to modify speed and torque.

What is the difference between straight and spiral bevel gear?

Although straight bevel gears are easier to manufacture, they also make more noise at high speeds than spiral bevels.

Are 2.5 MOD bevel gears for industrial use?

Yes. They are commonly found in industrial machinery and heavy duty gearbox applications.

Do bevel gears multiply or reduce torque?

Yes. Bevel gears are capable of changing the angle of torque from 90 degrees to a different, although not necessarily equal, rotation speed.
