Mitre Gears 1.5 MOD – Precision Metric & Miter Gears

Mitre gears also known as miter gear, are premium quality gears that allows maximum power transmission between two mutually perpendicular shafts. BEP Ltd provides precision 1.5 MOD mitre gears for industrial equipment, automation solutions, and mechanical assemblies in which accurate right-angle motion transfer is critical.

These gears belong to the bevel gear family, and they work at a 1:1 ratio (no change in rotational speed) so their best use is when making changes in direction without changing their rotational speed.

What Are Mitre (Miter) Gears?

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

Key characteristics:

• Equal number of teeth on both gears 
• Constant 1:1 speed ratio 
• Conical gear geometry 
• Smooth and precise meshing 

They are commonly used in matched pairs to ensure optimal alignment and performance.

Key Features of 1.5 Miter Gears

These features make 1.5 miter gears ideal for both general-purpose and precision engineering applications.

Applications of Mitre Gears

1.5 MOD mitre gears are commonly used in:

• Industrial gearboxes 
• Automation and robotics 
• Conveyor and drive systems 
• Packaging and printing machinery 
• Mechanical positioning systems 
• Automotive components such as 16 tooth starter gear configurations 

Their ability to maintain speed while changing direction makes them essential in many mechanical systems.

Angular Mitre Gear Configurations

While most mitre gears operate at 90°, they can also be used in angular configurations depending on design requirements (typically between 45° and 120°).

However, 90° applications remain the most efficient and widely used.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What is a mitre gear used for?

Mitre gears are used to transmit motion between intersecting shafts, typically at 90°, without changing speed.

2. What does 1.5 MOD mean?

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

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

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

4. Are mitre gears sold in pairs?

They are typically used in matched pairs but may also be available individually.
