What does a right angle gearbox do?
What is a Right Angle Gearbox? A right angle gearbox is one in which the input shaft and the output shaft meet at a 90o angle. This configuration allows for torque to be transmitted from one axis to a perpendicular axis—using rotation to transfer power. Gear standard two- and three-way right angle gearboxes feature two or three shafts positioned to create a 90-degree transfer of power transmission. Right angle drives are ideal for applications with limited space and where the driven equipment needs to be in close proximity.
