Bevel Gears Explained, Calculated & Modeled

Take a look at how torque and power is transmitted through bevel gears. Look at bevels as spinning cones with meshed gear teeth. Work out gear ratios between input and output shafts.

Sketch bevel gears then model them in Autodesk Inventor.

Skip to 8:10 to see bevel gears sketched
Skip to 14:00 for Cad Modeling in Autodesk Inventor

We do it all in this video. Explain bevel gears, draw them, and then model them in Autodesk.

The subject of Bevel gears often come up in both high school and college physics and engineering classes. They are found in Project Lead the Way (PLTW), Principles of Engineering (POE), AP Physics, and the JEE exam.

i love the pen drawings he does. i think it somehow makes the explanation better, like it helps the viewer focus more than if it was like on ms paint or something. i'm an artist and i'm into engineering too (hence why i'm watching this, i technically know this stuff already but i think always good to get refreshers etc and stuff, i'm meant to be designing stuff rn)

You put an amazing amount of effort into creating this video. Thank you!

[sunsetengineers]

Thank you so much for the "too bad, I ain't got time for that" comment, added a little LOL to my day. Outside of the humor, fantastic explanation.

[asdty]

the drawings and the model at the end definitely made this much easier to understand

[impactodelsurenterprise]

Damn that flex. Love your hand drawing skill bro

[taokodr]

Fantastic explanation! I have so much to learn, but I "get" how the concept works with your great visuals. Thanks so much!

Thank you so much. The whole part about the ratios of the radius of the cones helped me answer a question ive been digging around the internet for for like 30 minutes.

THE AMOUNT OF EFFORT BEING PUT IS !!! <3 <3

I didn’t think a video on bevel gears would be so fun watch to watch! 😂

[taxicamel]

The simplest of concepts, ...cones..., helps to appreciate/understand why the gear tooth form on either bevel gear cannot be simply cut to the cutter profile.

Can't wait to see this channel blow up.

Really great video. Your videos will be awesome for teaching my robotics team's students engineering concepts like this!

[Joe-osdd]

If you have a Patreon or something I’ll definitely subscribe the amount of effort you put in is amazing wow and it makes a big difference for learning

Dude your drafting skills are great not gonna lie you do good

[vitopos]

Awesome video, very well explained! Thanks a lot!!!

[akshayj]

how!!!....this was awesome!!...plz keep on making these....its really helpful

[NiLTime]

What a drawing .. Keep on making please ^^

[gajanana]

Nice drafting, do draw axis lines for all shafts

[mr.tesla]

I like the drawing's enchance to explanation.

Thank you for such amazing videos.
I'd like to ask a question as I'm currently working on a project. Can these bevel gears be used to reduce the speed? Like the context of the project is that we've to reduce the speed (in rpm) of the motor and provide reduced speed to next set of shaft and blades.
Your reply will be appreciated!
Thanks
