GC480W-G

This Gear Commerce GC480W-P bevel gear is made of brass, has a straight bevel, a 48 diametral pitch, 36 teeth, and a keyway to transmit torque between perpendicular shafts to provide rotational power to another part of a motorized system. This bevel gear is intended for applications requiring a 2:1 gear ratio. It has a keyway and setscrew for use with a 0.188" diameter keyed shaft (not included), is made of brass for corrosion resistance, ductility at high temperatures, and low magnetic permeability, and has unhardened teeth for applications where hardness and strength are not needed to transmit torque and motion. The 20 degree pressure angle provides a lower contact ratio between gears than a smaller pressure angle, resulting in higher load capacity. This gear is used only with its mating pinion gear because bevel gears can mesh only with gears that have the same pressure angle, spiral angle, and diametral pitch (that is, the number of teeth per inch). This bevel gear is suitable for use in a variety of commercial and industrial applications, such as construction equipment, aeronautics, conveyors, and manufacturing equipment, among others.
