Counter-Rotating Right Angle Bevel Gearboxes
Click image to enlarge
3-way Counter-rotating Gearboxes feature a T-style design, with two output shafts on the same axis and one input shaft at a 90° angle from the outputs. These spiral bevel gearbox are unique in that the output shafts rotate in opposite directions simultaneously to create an ideal counterbalance compared to standard 90-degree gearboxes. Counter-rotating bevel gearboxes are typically used in power transmission applications to change the axis of rotation, improve load efficiency, and reduce wear on mechanical components. In addition, the spiral bevel gearboxes include higher outputs and performance with smoother operation, and allow for changes in the axis of rotation with minimal backlash.

Counter-Rotating Gearbox Ratios
Standard counter-rotating gearboxes are offered with several shaft options and with either 1:1 and 2:1 ratios. Our spiral bevel gearboxes are available with shafts of 3/8”,1/2”, and 5/8” diameter with 1:1 ratio for shafts rotating at the same speed and 1/2” and 5/8” diameter with 2:1 ratios where the output shaft rotates half the speed of the input shaft. All of our ratio and size options can be customized for more specific requirements.Specifications of Spiral Bevel Gearboxes
Zero-Max’s counter-rotating gearboxes have a proven design that has been used successfully in thousands of applications and for decades. Our spiral bevel gearboxes are crafted to improve the efficiency and longevity of mechanical components and allow for increased output. The counterbalanced rotating gearbox helps offset vibrations to provide improved stability in mechanical drive systems. The fully enclosed design ensures that the internal gears stay in alignment, won’t jam up, and won’t become contaminated by debris. Counter-rotating gearboxes feature premium hardened spiral bevel gears and non-magnetic stainless-steel shafts to offer superior strength and durability, making these ideal right-angle gearboxes. Many features and benefits of spiral bevel gearboxes include:- Double-sealed bearings that hold lubrication in and keep dirt out
- Precision hardened and ground ball bearings for smooth, quiet, long operating life
- Non-magnetic and corrosion-resistant stainless steel shafts require minimal maintenance
- Lightweight aluminum alloy housing for maximum strength and heat dissipation
- Option of numerous standard sizes, plus special shafts, to fit your application needs
- Multiple mounting positions simplify design considerations
- IP65-rated options for ensured protection in mission-critical applications
