Boston Gear L101Y Miter Gear, 1:1 Ratio, 20° Lesotho

This steel Boston Gear L series miter gear has a 20 degree pressure angle (PA) and a straight miter to transmit torque between perpendicular shafts to provide rotational power to another part of a motorized system. This gear has a plain bore, is made of low carbon steel (. 2 percent carbon), and has unhardened teeth for 1:1 gear ratio applications where hardness and strength are not needed to transmit torque and motion. This gear is intended for use only with identical gears because miter gears can mesh only with gears that have the same pressure angle, number of teeth, and diametral pitch (number of teeth per inch). This Boston Gear miter gear is suitable for use in a variety of commercial and industrial applications, such as construction equipment, aeronautics, conveyors, and manufacturing equipment, among others. A miter gear's pressure angle (PA), spiral angle, diametral pitch (also called DP or pitch), and its material are important factors to consider when purchasing. Boston Gear manufactures a variety of gear drives, variable speed drives, clutches, and the components that comprise these systems including sprockets and bearings. Their manufacturing designs, production, and inspection meet International Organization for Standardization (ISO) standards for quality assurance. The company, founded in 1877, is headquartered in Charlotte, NC. Straight miter 90 degree mesh transmits mechanical power between perpendicular shafts Pressure angle of 20 degrees for a lower contact ratio between gears, resulting in higher load capacity than smaller pressure angles Low carbon steel (. Unhardened teeth for 1:1 gear ratio applications where hardness and strength are not needed to transmit torque and motion
