Product overview
Review the gear pair, assembly conditions, drawing requirements, specification checks, and inspection points before requesting a quotation.
Custom miter gears are specialized bevel gears designed with identical tooth counts on both the driving and driven members, operating at a 1:1 speed ratio. They are primarily used to change the direction of shaft rotation at 90 degrees (or custom acute/obtuse angles) without altering rotational speed. ZhongYi manufactures custom miter gear sets in straight-tooth, spiral-tooth, and zerol-tooth configurations from customer drawings, sample parts, or complete gearbox specifications. Engineering review covers module or diametral pitch, pitch cone angle (45° for 90° shaft angle), face width, mounting distance (MD), finished bore with keyway or spline, material pairing, and heat treatment.
Selection guidance
Use application and mating-component data to confirm geometry, materials, mounting details, and the acceptance plan.
Confirm that both mating gears require identical tooth counts (1:1 ratio). For speed reduction or increase, specify a bevel gear set instead. Clearly indicate mounting distances (the distance from the gear back cone / locating face to the intersection of the two shaft axes), as proper tooth contact pattern and backlash depend entirely on maintaining these distances during assembly. Specify torque, operating speed, bearing arrangement, and whether gears are ordered in matched pairs.

Quality Control & Inspection Matrix
Overseas procurement teams require verifiable technical data, not unsupported claims. Every production batch at ZhongYi is inspected against approved CAD blueprints and international standards (DIN, AGMA, ISO).
Component-Specific Quality Focus:
Miter gear quality is evaluated as a matched functional pair. Inspection confirms bore size and keyway alignment, mounting distance tolerance, radial and axial runout, tooth thickness, and contact pattern under nominal mounting distances. Paired gears are marked and packed together to prevent mismatch during assembly.
Validates 3D spatial GD&T, bore concentricity, center distance, and geometric tolerances down to ±0.002 mm.
Inspects involute tooth profile error (fα), lead crowning (fβ), pitch cumulative error (Fp), and radial runout (Fr).
Verifies surface hardness (58–62 HRC), core toughness, and effective carburized / nitrided case depth gradient.
100% chemical composition verification of alloy steel forgings (20CrMnTi, 42CrMo, 18CrNiMo7-6, Stainless, POM).
We maintain strict incoming material spectroscopy, in-process CNC tooth coordinate monitoring, and 100% final pre-shipment dimensional inspection. All custom gear batches are backed by our full manufacturing warranty.
Applications
Confirm load, speed, duty cycle, environment, lubrication, and assembly constraints before selecting the final material and manufacturing route.
Discover how this gear category meets extreme torque, low backlash, quiet operation, and weather-resistance demands in primary industry sectors:
High-torque, impact-resistant gears, girth rings, and planetary drive sets engineered for excavators, cranes, drilling rigs, and heavy mining crushers.

High-torque bevel gears, spur gears, and splined drive shafts for tractors, harvesters, rotary tillers, and agricultural PTO gearboxes.
Technical FAQ
Critical specifications are confirmed against final drawings before production.
While a single gear can be made to drawing, supplying or replacing both members as a matched set is strongly recommended. Mating new teeth with a worn or differently manufactured gear often results in poor contact, increased noise, and accelerated wear.
Straight miter gears have straight teeth along the cone and are suitable for low-to-moderate speeds. Spiral miter gears have curved, overlapping teeth that engage progressively, offering smoother operation, higher load capacity, and lower noise at higher speeds.
Mounting distance establishes the exact theoretical cone apex intersection. If gears are installed too deep or shallow, tooth contact shifts to the toe or heel, leading to edge loading, premature tooth failure, and severe vibration.
