Here are some main applications and characteristics of bevel gears in agricultural machinery:
Mechanical Transmission Systems: Bevel cylindrical gears are widely used in mechanical transmission systems, characterized by their simple structure, low manufacturing cost, and long service life. In these systems, bevel gears can transmit high torque and have high transmission efficiency and precision.
Soil Tillage Machinery: For example, rotary tillers, which are soil tillage machines with rotating blades as working parts, can make the soil finely broken, mix the soil and fertilizer evenly, and level the ground to meet the requirements for sowing or planting.
Automotive Industry: Although mainly mentioned in the automotive industry, bevel cylindrical gears are also used in agricultural machinery, such as in transmission and differential devices, due to their high transmission efficiency and precision.
Heavy-duty Applications in Engineering and Agricultural Machinery: Bevel gears are suitable for machinery that bears a large workload, such as the rotation mechanism of excavators and the transmission system of tractors, which require transmission of high torque and low-speed movement.
Efficiency and Noise: The efficiency of bevel gear transmission is usually higher than that of straight-tooth cylindrical gear transmission, and it operates more smoothly with less noise.
Helical Angle: The unique helical angle of bevel gears can increase the contact ratio, which is conducive to smooth motion and noise reduction, but it may also produce a larger axial force.
Reduction Gear Application: Bevel gear reducers, due to their compact size, light weight, high load capacity, high efficiency, and long service life, are widely used in agricultural machinery, suitable for equipment that requires speed reduction.
Combination of Worm and Bevel Gears: In some cases, bevel gears can be used in combination with worm gears to form worm reducers, suitable for high-impact applications, although their efficiency may be lower.
Maintenance and Problem Solving: Bevel gear reducers in agricultural machinery require proper maintenance to avoid problems such as overheating, oil leakage, wear, and bearing damage.
Tooth Profile Modification: To improve the dynamic performance of bevel gears at high speeds and reduce vibration and noise, tooth profile modification has become a necessary design and process method, especially in automotive power transmission.
