Bevel gear

Component kind bevel-gear (category mech, DSL name bevelGear, API v1)

Cone-shaped gear for transmitting rotation between intersecting axes. Two bevel gears of the same module mesh with their axes meeting at pitchAngle_a + pitchAngle_b (usually 90°).

Parameters

• `module` — Tooth module (mm per tooth). Two meshing bevel gears must share the same module.
• `teeth` — Tooth count. Must be ≥ 4.
• `width` — Face width along the cone slant (mm).
• `boreDiameter` — Central bore diameter (mm).
• `pitchAngle` — Cone half-angle (deg). A pair with 45°+45° = 90° axis angle is the common "mitre" case.
• `pressureAngle` — Tooth pressure angle (deg). Standard is 20°.

Kinematics

Mesh rule: ω_driven = -ω_driver · (teeth_driver / teeth_driven). Same ratio as spur gears; the axes simply meet at an angle instead of being parallel.

Example

bevelGear "B1" {
  teeth: 16
  module: 2
  pitchAngle: 45
}
