Mitre Gears 0.8 MOD – Precision Metric & Miter Gears

High-quality mitre gears (miter gears) are designed for efficient power transmission between intersecting shafts. At BEP Ltd, we supply precision-engineered MOD 0.8 mitre gears ideal for compact mechanical systems requiring accurate motion transfer and long service life.

These angular miter gears are part of the bevel gear family and operate at a 1:1 ratio, making them perfect for applications where direction changes but speed must remain constant.

What Are Mitre (Miter) Gears?

Mitre gears—also spelled miter gears—are bevel gears used to transmit motion between two shafts that typically intersect at 90°.

Key characteristics:

• Both gears have the same number of teeth 
• Operate at a constant 1:1 speed ratio 
• Teeth are cut on a conical surface 
• Designed for smooth and precise engagement 

They are commonly supplied as matched pairs to ensure optimal meshing and performance.

Key Features of Angular Miter Gears

These features make mitre gears suitable for both light-duty and precision engineering applications.

Angular Configurations & Flexibility

While most mitre gears operate at 90°, angular miter gears can also be designed for other intersecting angles (typically between 45° and 120° depending on application).
For standard applications, 90° configurations provide:

• Maximum efficiency 
• Simplified alignment 
• Reliable gear meshing 

Applications of MOD 0.8 Mitre Gears

MOD 0.8 mitre gears are commonly used in:

• Precision gearboxes

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What is the difference between mitre gears and miter gears?

There is no difference—“mitre” is UK spelling, while “miter” is US spelling.

2. What does MOD 0.8 mean?

It refers to the metric module size of the gear teeth.

3. Can mitre gears operate at angles other than 90°?

Yes, angular miter gears can be designed for different shaft angles, though 90° is most common.

4. Are mitre gears sold in pairs?

They are often used as matched pairs but may also be available individually.
