Plastic bevel gears
Are you looking for a special solution? Depending on the parameters prevailing in your application, we can advise you regarding the right material and manufacturing and tool technology to shape individual gears in a process-reliable manner, free of charge and without obligation.
Being manufactured in plastic, these bevel gears offer a reduced weight compared to traditioanl metal gears and also a reduction in noise, which is again an advantage.
Our bevel gears made of iglidur® high-performance polymers enable lubrication-free and maintenance-free use. We currently have two materials to choose from and these can be found in our online shop.
There is a large selection of options that can be ordered with no minimum order quantity and without a minimum order value.
Our materials
iguform S270
- Low coefficient of friction
- Low moisture absorption
- Quiet
igutek P360
- Increased wear resistance
- Good tribological specifications
- Resistant to shock loads
How does a bevel gear work?
Bevel gears are used to transmit forces or torques.
A bevel gearbox consists of at least two bevel gears, the axes of which are at a specific angle to one another.
The bevel gears can have both the same and different sizes. This depends on the number of teeth, the module and the resulting gear ratio.
At igus®, we offer bevel gears with different transmission ratios, which can be mounted at an axis angle
of 90 degrees.
In combination, bevel gears can run both clockwise and counter-clockwise.
How do I choose the right bevel gear combination?
When selecting, care must be taken to ensure that the bevel gears have the same module and match each other in the desired transmission ratio.
The bevel gears differ in terms of the number of teeth, module and transmission ratio.
igus® offers seven different modules:
1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5
and six different gear ratios:
1:1, 1:1.5, 1:2, 1:3, 1:4, 1:5
Rework of our bevel gears is possible. (e.g. feather key groove, thread or a larger hole diameter)
Angular gearbox
With a lightweight housing
Our angular gearboxes can be directly installed, feature a lightweight housing, are rust-proof and do not require any additional lubricants.
The angular gearboxes are available in iguform S270 and igutek P360.

Bevel gears in practice
Bevel gears in the format adjustment
Due to the constantly increasing variety of products and different batch sizes, the flexibility of the equipment used in production is becoming more and more important.
This aspect plays a very important role in the packaging industry. With their high wear resistance, the maintenance-free bevel gears ensure reliable production and maximum efficiency, and additional lubricants can be dispensed with.
If aggressive cleaners are used in production or, for e.g, FDA compliance is required, we have the right solution for you, as a catalogue part or as a customer-specific special solution.
