What are BSB Type Hollow Shaft Bevel Gearboxes?

Hollow shaft bevel gearboxes are a marvel of precision engineering, designed to streamline the power transmission process with unmatched efficiency and reliability.

These gearboxes stand out for their unique construction, featuring a shaft on one end and a bore on the other. This ingenious design allows for direct mounting to a shaft or motor without the necessity for additional connectors, simplifying the assembly and ensuring seamless integration into various mechanical systems.

The L-shaped, right-angle configuration of these gearboxes optimises space and provides directional flexibility, making them an indispensable component in complex rotary-powered projects.

How Hollow Shaft Bevel Gearboxes Work.

Featuring a male connector on one end and a female connector on the other, this unique configuration works in tandem with the internal bevel gears which are designed to transmit power at a 90-degree angle, seamlessly redirecting rotational motion with minimal efficiency loss. 

This direct shaft-to-shaft transfer is pivotal in applications where space is limited and the direction of drive transmission needs to change, enhancing system efficiency and reducing complexity.

These gearboxes are integral to a multitude of industrial applications, from robotics to aerospace and automotive to manufacturing, where their ability to combine simplicity with technical sophistication is invaluable.

What Materials Hollow Shaft Bevel Gearboxes Are Made From.

Crafted from high-grade materials, our range of hollow shaft bevel gearboxes boasts an aluminium shell and stainless steel gears.

This combination offers a lightweight yet robust solution, resistant to corrosion and capable of withstanding the rigours of high-demand applications. The aluminium shell, known for its lightweight properties, significantly reduces the overall weight of the gearbox, while the stainless steel gears offer superior durability and wear resistance, critical for maintaining precision over long periods.

What Size and Type Hollow Shaft Bevel Gearboxes Are Available.

Accus range of hollow shaft bevel gearboxes come in sizes ranging from a minimal shaft diameter of 6mm to a larger 12mm, catering to a broad spectrum of power transmission needs. With a gear ratio of 1:1, they are designed to deliver precise speed and torque adjustments. Additionally, these gearboxes can be equipped on the male end with flexible shaft couplings, further broadening their application scope.

FAQs.

Q: How are hollow shaft bevel gearboxes installed?.

A: Being one of our most simple-to-install, these hollow shaft gearboxes have 5 counter-bored holes right through the body meaning they can be fixed into place using cap head screws. They can also be tapped with their own threads to facilitate a lightweight setup.

Q: What does BSB type stand for?.

A: The trailing "B" in BSB stands for "Bore", indicating that these gearboxes feature a hollow bore. BSB type refers to a specific category of our gearboxes that share the main characteristics of our BS type gearboxes, notably their addition of a hollow bore in one end. 

Q: What maintenance is required for hollow shaft bevel gearboxes?.

A: These gearboxes are designed for durability and low maintenance. Regular inspections and lubrication are recommended to ensure optimal performance and longevity.

Q: How do I determine the right hollow shaft bevel gearbox for my application?.

A: Consider the torque and speed requirements of your application, the size constraints of your project and the compatibility with existing systems. Our team is available to provide expert guidance and support in selecting the perfect gearbox for your needs.
