"The Original Right-Angle Drive"

Overview:

This line of bevel gearboxes has proven its performance for over 40 years. Developed to provide manual or power transmission of rotary motion in a compact, standardized right-angle unit. Each AnglGear is manufactured at our factory in Wanamassa, NJ, and all components are manufactured in the USA. The units are inspected and tested to ensure proper operation at the rated speeds.

The AnglGear name is widely recognized and is in use worldwide. We also offer a line of metric AnglGears for use in designs needing metric shaft diameters & mounting surfaces. Utilizing carburized case-hardened Coniflex* bevel gears, all AnglGear units employ completely enclosed & sealed ball bearings and are lubricated for life. The cast aluminum housings are precision machined, and use flanged ends and side bosses for compact installation in a wide range of applications.

Special and/or modified units are our specialty! At Andantex, we will modify our standard designs to fit your design specifications. For more information about our special gearboxes, please consult the factory.

AnglGear Quality Specifications:

Every AnglGear manufactured is tested to meet our quality specifications and are 100% inspected prior to packaging. This process ensures a consistent quality of our gearboxes. It filters out units that might become a problem if installed in an application.

Noise Level:
Experience has proven that noise level testing and inspection provide an accurate indication of operational efficiency. All AnglGear units are tested to meet the following maximum noise levels for acceptance:

Size 1 - R3000/R3003/R3100/R3103: 73 dB
Size 2 - R3200/R3203/R3300/R3303: 74 dB
Size 3 - R3330/R3350: 89 dB
Size 4 - R3400/R3500: 89 dB
Size 5 - R3570/R3590: 89 dB

For special applications requiring reduced noise levels, please consult the factory.

Backlash:
Each unit is checked for its gear mesh backlash to ensure it is within the prescribed backlash range. For Size 1, the backlash range is 1/4 to 3/4 degree. For Size 2 through 5, the backlash range is 1/8 to 1/2 degree. For special applications requiring reduced backlash, please consult the factory.

Military Specifications:
Andantex USA meets MIL-I-45208A for Inspection System Requirements. We can conform to military contracts specifying various MIL-SPEC requirements.

AnglGear Construction:

Bevel Gears: All gears in the AnglGear product line are cut using the Gleason Generating System to AGMA Quality Class 9. This system develops straight bevel Coniflex tooth profiles, which are crowned at the center of the tooth. This allows for better tooth meshing and operating pitchline velocities of over 1,000 feet per minute. All gears are then carburized case hardened to ensure a long operating life.

Bearings: There are four ball bearing in each AnglGear unit. Each bearing is packed with Exxon Beacon 325 grease and sealed with two Buna-N seals. The bearings are lubricated for life. Special seals such as Viton® and Teflon can be provided for high temperature applications.

* Viton is a registered trademark of DuPont Dow Elastomers.

Housing: The housings are aluminum alloy castings. Each housing is precision machined on our CNC machining center and then coated with a chemical film to protect the material. We can offer special materials and coatings for further protection in corrosive environments, and special machining for precision mounting and alignment.

Shafts: The shaft material for Size 1, 2 and 3 is #416 stainless steel. **On 2:1 models, the pinion shaft is cadmium- plated carbon steel. For Sizes 4 and 5, the shaft material is black-oxide carbon steel. We can offer a variety of materials and treatments to meet your design specifications. Shafts can be provided with special extensions with flats, splines, holes, etc. and/or specific lengths upon request.

Lubrication:
AnglGear units are lubricated for life. All models are lubricated with Exxon Beacon 325 grease, having an operating temperature range from -65 degrees F to +200 degrees F (-54 degrees C to +93 degrees C). Different greases can be supplied upon request.
