Custom Miter Gears for Equal-Speed Right Angle Drives

We manufacture custom miter gears for machinery that needs to turn a corner without changing speed. A miter gear is a bevel gear with a 1 to 1 ratio, so a miter bevel gear changes the direction of a drive, usually at 90 degrees, while both shafts keep the same rotational speed. We cut straight and spiral miter gears to your spec. Request a miter gear quote in about 48 hours.

What a miter gear does

A miter gear is a bevel gear built to a 1 to 1 ratio, which means both gears in the pair have the same number of teeth. Because the ratio is even, a miter bevel gear changes only the direction of a drive, not its speed. Pair two of them at 90 degrees and you turn a corner while the input and output shafts spin at the same rate.

That makes miter gears the right pick for conveyors, drives, and machinery that route power around a corner without gearing up or down. We cut miter gears with straight teeth for simpler drives or spiral teeth for quieter, higher load work. Miter is one of the forms we produce under bevel gears in our custom gear manufacturing shop.

FAQ

Miter gear questions

What is a miter gear?+
A miter gear is a bevel gear with a 1 to 1 ratio, meaning both gears have the same number of teeth. A miter bevel gear changes the direction of a drive, usually at 90 degrees, without changing the speed. That makes it the right choice when you need to turn a corner but keep the same rotational speed on both shafts.
What is the difference between a miter gear and a bevel gear?+
A miter gear is a type of bevel gear. The difference is the ratio: a miter gear is always 1 to 1, so it changes direction without changing speed, while a general bevel gear can change both direction and speed. Miter gears are sometimes called miter bevel gears for that reason.
Can you make straight or spiral miter gears?+
Yes. We cut miter gears with straight teeth for simpler drives and with spiral teeth for quieter, higher load operation, depending on your application.
Can you reverse engineer a miter gear?+
Yes. We reverse engineer worn or legacy miter gears from a sample, and we manufacture to exact customer specifications or 3D CAD models.
Do you make single miter gears or matched pairs?+
Both. Because miter gears run in pairs, we can cut a single replacement to match an existing gear or a matched set, from one gear to full production runs.
How fast can I get a miter gear quote?+
We turn most quotes around in about 48 hours. Upload drawings, a sketch, or a description of the application on our contact page and our gear team reviews the requirements and provides material recommendations and pricing.
