2.5 MOD Mitre Gears – Precision Metric Miter Gears for Right-Angle Power Transmission

Explore premium-quality mitre gears engineered for accurate, smooth, and efficient right-angle motion transfer. At Bolton Engineering Products Ltd (BEP Ltd), we supply a full range of Mitre Gears – 2.5 MOD, manufactured to strict metric standards to ensure perfect meshing, consistent torque output, and long service life.

Whether you need small miter gears for compact mechanisms or robust gears for industrial machinery, our 2.5 MOD range offers dependable performance in demanding applications.

What Are Mitre Gears? 

Mitre gears are a specialised type of bevel gear designed to transmit motion between two shafts set at a 90-degree angle. Unlike other bevel gears, mitre gears operate at a 1:1 ratio, meaning the output speed equals the input speed with only a change in direction.

Key Characteristics

• Designed for right-angle (90°) shaft orientation
  
• One-to-one speed ratio
• Available in straight, spiral, or angular tooth forms
• Supplied as matching left-hand and right-hand pairs
• Ideal for compact, precise motion systems
• Our small miter gears provide smooth operation even in tight spaces.

Why Choose 2.5 MOD Mitre Gears?

Module 2.5 mitre gears offer the perfect balance of strength, precision, and compact design for medium-load mechanical systems.

Key Benefits

• Manufactured to metric module standards
• Precision-cut straight teeth for accurate meshing
• Conical geometry with correct pitch angle
• Durable construction for extended operational life
• Suitable for high accuracy and low-noise applications
• Available individually or as matched pairs

These gears are engineered for reliability in motion control and transmission systems.

Applications of Mitre Gears

2.5 MOD mitre gears are used across a wide range of industries where directional change without altering speed is essential, including:

• Robotics & automation
• Packaging machinery
• Machine tools
• CNC equipment
• Automotive components
• Conveyor systems
• Agricultural machinery
• Industrial gearboxes
• Alignment and positioning mechanisms

Their precision makes them suitable for both high-speed and low-speed motion transfer.

How Mitre Gears Work

Mitre gears mesh together at a 90° angle, using conical-shaped teeth to smoothly redirect rotational motion.

They do this without changing rotation speed, offering:

• Smooth torque transfer
• Quiet operation
• Minimal backlash (when correctly aligned)
• High efficiency even under varying loads

Selecting the Right Mitre Gears (2.5 MOD)

Choosing the correct gear pair ensures accuracy and optimal system performance.

1. Confirm Module Size

Ensure the gear module is 2.5 MOD for compatibility.

2. Choose Tooth Count

Both gears must have the same number of teeth for 1:1 operation.

3. Identify Gear Orientation

We supply:

• Right-hand mitre gears
• Left-hand mitre gears
• Matched pairs for perfect alignment

4. Consider Gear Size

Choose between:

• Standard sizes
• Small miter gears for compact systems

5. Select Tooth Type

Straight tooth mitre gears are standard for precise, low-noise motion.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What is a mitre gear used for?

Mitre gears change the direction of rotation—usually by 90°—without affecting speed.

2. Do mitre gears always have a 1:1 ratio?

Yes. Mitre gears are defined by their equal tooth count and 1:1 speed ratio.

3. Can I buy small miter gears individually?

Yes. We offer both individual mitre gears and matched pairs for accurate meshing.

4. What tooth options are available?

Straight-tooth mitre gears are standard, but spiral and angular forms are also available upon request.
