A bevel gearbox is a device used to transmit and/or split/distribute the power of a singular rotating mechanical drive shaft through a defined angle, typically 90°.
Bevel gearboxes are ideal when a drive line needs to turn a corner or one drive line needs to power multiple devices from one motor.
For example a series of driven rollers on a car production line all driven from 1 motor with each roller at 90° to the main drive shaft and each roller connecting into the main drive shaft via a bevel gearbox.
Screw Jack Systems are another ideal use for Bevel Gearboxes and this is why the product fit neatly into Power Jacks product portfolio. The bevel gearboxes allow Power Jacks to mechanically distribute the power from 1 motor to multiple screw jacks via drive shafts and bevel gearboxes.
