A bevel gearbox is a type of gear system that allows for the transmission of power between intersecting shafts, typically at a right
angle. These gearboxes use bevel gears, which have conically shaped teeth, to change the direction of the drive in mechanical
systems.
When it comes to mounting on valves, bevel gearboxes are specifically designed to facilitate the manual or motorized operation of
linear valves, such as gate, globe, and sluice/slide gate valves. These gearboxes are mounted on the valve stem and help in converting
the rotational motion from the handwheel or motor into the linear motion needed to open or close the valve. They are engineered to
handle the torque and thrust requirements of the valve operation, ensuring smooth and efficient performance.
