Mitre Gears 0.5 MOD – Precision Metric Mitre Gears

High-quality mitre gears are essential for transmitting motion between shafts positioned at right angles. At BEP Ltd, we supply precision-engineered 0.5 MOD mitre gears designed for smooth operation and accurate motion transfer in compact mechanical systems.

These gears are part of the bevel gear family and are specifically designed to operate in a 1:1 ratio, making them ideal when a change in shaft direction is required without altering speed.

What Are Mitre Gears?

A mitre gear is a type of bevel gear used to transmit motion between two intersecting shafts, typically at 90 degrees. Both gears in the pair have the same number of teeth, allowing them to rotate at identical speeds.

Unlike standard bevel gears that may change speed ratios, mitre and bevel gears in this configuration maintain a 1:1 transmission ratio.

Mitre gears are commonly supplied in matched pairs to ensure precise meshing and efficient power transfer.

Key Features of Mitre Gears

Mitre gears are widely used where a change in the direction of rotation is required without altering torque or speed.

Mitre Gear vs Bevel Gear

While both are part of the bevel gear family, there is a key difference:

• Mitre gears always operate with a 1:1 ratio
• Bevel gears can have different tooth counts and speed ratios
• Mitre gears are therefore specifically designed for directional change rather than speed modification.

Applications of Mitre Gears

0.5 MOD mitre gears are commonly used in:

• Precision instruments
• Small gearboxes
• Robotics and automation systems
• Mechanical positioning systems
• Printing and packaging equipment
• Model engineering applications
• Their compact module size makes them ideal for small, precision-driven assemblies.
