This Gear Commerce GC155W-P bevel pinion gear has a straight bevel, a 10 diametral pitch, 20 case-hardened steel 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 0.875" diameter keyed shaft (not included), is made of low carbon steel (0.2 percent carbon), and has case-hardened teeth for applications where hardness and strength are 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 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 gear is suitable for use in a variety of commercial and industrial applications, such as construction equipment, aeronautics, conveyors, and manufacturing equipment, among others.
