KHK USA Inc. announces Extensive Line of Bevel Gears
Large Selection includes Straight, Spiral, Hypoid and Zerol Gears
Mineola, NY - KHK USA Inc., distributor of the market leading KHK® brand of metric gears, announces its extensive line of bevel gears, manufactured to the highest quality standards by Kohara Gear Industry Co., of Japan. KHK's large selection of bevel gears are suitable for a very wide range of applications, and include Straight Bevel Gears and Spiral Bevel Gears, as well as Zerol Gears that have the characteristics of both straight and spiral bevel gears.
Bevel gears are two intersecting cone shaped gears that are used to transmit rotational motion between them. KHK bevel gears are offered in a broad variety of modules, numbers of teeth, materials and styles, with gear ratios of 1.5 through 5. The angle of intersection may be any angle, but it is generally a right angle.
KHK Straight Bevel Gears come in a variety of materials, including Injection Molded Bevel Gears that are suitable for office machines, Plastic Bevel Gears that are lightweight and do not require lubricant, and Stainless Steel Bevel Gears that are ideal for food machinery.
Spiral Bevel Gears have a curved tooth form which provides larger contact surfaces with resulting smoother, less noisy rotation. They are suitable for high-speed heavy load operations. KHK's broad portfolio ranges from reasonably-priced Ground Spiral Bevels to Nissei KSP Ground Spiral Bevel Gears for applications where exceptionally high speed, low noise, and low vibration is required.
KHK Hypoid Gears, sometimes used in automotive rear wheel drives, are a special type of spiral bevel gears which offer high speed reduction ratio, high efficiency, high rigidity and compact gear assembly.
Zerol bevel gears are spiral bevel gears with a nearly zero spiral angle. KHK Zerol Gears have excellent precision and offer the advantages of both straight and spiral bevel gears. The thrust load that occurs with zerol gears are the same as the straight bevel gears so that it is possible to replace straight bevel gears with zerol gears without changing the bearing design.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
