Miter Gears — Precision Metric Miter Gears from KHK USA

ISO 9001:2015 Certified AGMA & JIS Standards Same-Day Shipping 2,600+ Standard Items

KHK USA supplies precision metric miter gears for 1:1 ratio right-angle power transmission. Miter gears are a special case of bevel gears where both gears have equal tooth counts and equal pitch diameters, providing a 1:1 gear ratio at a 90-degree shaft angle.

Miter Gear Applications

Miter gears are widely used in machine tools, packaging equipment, conveyors, and any application requiring a right-angle direction change without speed or torque change.

Available Materials

KHK miter gears are available in carbon steel, stainless steel, and engineering plastics. Steel miter gears are available in modules 1 through 6. Plastic miter gears are available in MC Nylon for light-duty and corrosion-resistant applications.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Miter gears always provide a 1:1 gear ratio — the input and output shafts rotate at the same speed. Miter gears change shaft direction only, not speed or torque.

Standard KHK miter gears are designed for 90-degree shaft angles only. For other shaft angles, KHK bevel gears with custom cone angles would be required.
