Types of Gearboxes

Bevel gearboxes are basically mechanical devices widely used for transmitting mechanical power and motion between nonparallel axes (intersecting axes), usually at right angles. The teeth on it is straight, spiral or hypoid. The main use of these gearboxes are when the direction of a shaft's rotation needs to be changed.
