At Bolton Engineering Products Ltd, we offer 10 DP miter gears produced to quality standards for precise 90-degree power drives. With a 1:1 ratio, these gears transmit motion at the same speed and torque as each other.

If you are looking for mitre gears for industry or mechanical purposes, we can offer fast dispatch UK supply and dependability.

What Are 10 DP Mitre Gears?

Mitre gears are a specialised type of bevel gear that operate in matched pairs with identical tooth counts. A 10 DP (Diametral Pitch) mitre gear defines the tooth size using imperial measurement, commonly used in legacy or imperial-specified systems.

They are primarily used to:

• Transmit motion between shafts at 90°
• Maintain a 1:1 speed ratio
• Provide smooth directional change in mechanical systems
