Aerospace miter gears are specialized components designed to transmit motion and power between intersecting shafts positioned at right angles to each other. What sets miter gears apart is their unique tooth geometry, which enables smooth and efficient motion transfer in applications requiring precise angular alignment. These gears feature conical shapes with straight teeth cut across their faces, allowing them to mesh seamlessly with one another when positioned at a 90-degree angle.
Miter gears find widespread use in various aerospace applications where accurate motion control and reliable performance are paramount. Their ability to handle both high loads and high speeds makes them a versatile solution for transmitting power and motion in confined spaces or challenging environments. With their simple yet effective design, miter gears contribute to the smooth and efficient operation of critical aerospace systems such as steering mechanisms, actuators, and control surfaces.
Our state-of-the-art facilities and experienced team of engineers and machinists employ the latest technologies and techniques to produce precision miter gears that meet the exact specifications and requirements of our clients. From design and prototyping to production and quality control, we ensure that every miter gear we manufacture delivers optimal performance and reliability.
