Mitre Gears 16 DP – High-Precision Imperial Right-Angle Gears

BEP Ltd. offers high-quality 16 DP mitre gears for superior right-angle power transmission in your mechanical systems and applications, delivering smooth operation and durability along with uniform strength across industrial or engineering requirements.

Perfected with a 16 DP mitre gear tooth profile and reliable machining, these gears are well-suited for space-constrained applications where maximum precision and efficiency is required.

What Are 16 DP Mitre Gears?

Mitre gears are a specialised type of bevel gear used to transfer motion between two shafts that intersect—most commonly at 90 degrees.

• The key feature of a mitre gear is its 1:1 ratio, meaning:
• Both gears rotate at the same speed 
• No change in torque ratio 
• Only the direction of motion is altered 

The 16 DP (Diametral Pitch) indicates a finer tooth design, allowing smoother engagement and better accuracy in motion transfer.

Key Advantages of 16 DP Mitre Gears

These qualities make mitre gears an excellent choice for both light-duty and precision-driven systems.

Why Choose 16 DP Over Other Gear Pitches?

• Compared to lower DP gears, 16 DP mitre gears offer:
• Finer teeth for improved accuracy 
• Reduced vibration and noise 
• Better suitability for compact and high-speed systems 

They are commonly selected where precision matters more than heavy load capacity.

Applications of Mitre and Bevel Gears

Mitre gears 16 DP are widely used in:

• Precision gearboxes
