Straight Bevel Gear

Straight Bevel Gears

Straight bevel gears are the most common and also the simplest type of bevel gear. True to their name, they have straight teeth and resemble a spur gear, except that they are conical rather than cylindrical. They also share many properties of spur gears due to the similar tooth shape and the way their teeth engage.
