Bevel Gears on Drivetrain

Posted by Michael Quayle at 1/14/2001 10:57 PM EST


Engineer on team #253, MRT, from Mills High School.



We were considering using bevel gears on a drill motor, but the bevel gears sold by SmallParts are very small (in terms of the bore diameter). What are the advantages/disadvantages of using bevel gears on a drivetrain?

Thers's nothing wrong with using bevel gears in a drive train.

- but -

I wouldn't use brass (Small Parts only offering)

The team I was on last year (7) used bevel gears in the drive train. They ended up giving us no end of trouble. Basically, we had problems with the gears backing away from each other and then starting to destroy each other. We also made the mistake of not gearing down the drive motor at all. I think we also ended up putting a side-load on the motor because of the bevel gear which caused the drill motor itself (not the gearbox, the actual motor) to die on us several times. BTW, we were using the same bevel gears that the Dewalt right-angle drill uses (one of our sponsors was Black & Decker.....) and that didn't help us any. Can you successfully use bevel gears? Yes. Would I recommend it? No, it's more trouble then it's worth.

Matt

For Spur gears you only have to consider radial forces. With bevel gears you get thrust forces as well. Sizing and determining tooth stresses also becomes more difficult. I highly recommend checking tooth stresses BEFORE you build the drive train. The brass gears SPI has don't carry much load. The competition environment would qualify as "severe" in most design guides.

You can use them, but just know they are alot most subtle than they look.

Bevel gears are fantastic, if you know what you are
doing and you can spend time to get the interfaces right.

This is very ticklish business.

In general, I would never recommend a team try this
cold. If you have time in the off-season to work it
all out, go for it. In the heat of the 6 week build
without a trial run, I am not very optimistic of a good
outcome.

Just my opinion.

Joe J.

One word: Gear box.

When you want to use bevel gears, you want to build your own little gear box to support the two shaft of each gear. And I am not sure what kind of machine shop you have, but I am sure it need to be really accurate to make this setup efficent enough to work really well... We tried doing this, and we end up bending the shafts and having trouble building a good enough gear box to conserve enough power from the drill motors to have a really good drive train. Be warned.

We utilized bevel gears last year, and had a fantastic drive train with very few problems. However, we used fairly large steel gears. We prototyped the year before using the gears from small parts and trashed them in a few minutes. I would keep your design for another year when they allow us to use gears from outside sources.
