Traditionally, spiral bevel gear milling machines from Gleason Works are used for milling of spiral bevel gears. However, less expensive and more popular universal milling machines have been recently used for milling. Correct 3-d CAD model of the gear tooth is the key element for milling a spiral bevel gear on a CNC milling machine. The CAD model of the gear tooth is produced on special "SPIRAL BEVEL GEAR SOFTWARE".

What is stronger a spiral bevel gear or a straight cut bevel gear?

If both gears designed and manufactured correctly, spiralbevel gear is stronger compare to a straight bevel gear. Spiral bevel gear is also quieter. For example, in mineral processing industry, spiral bevel gears are used in rock crashers because of the higher endurance. When the tooth is spiral (helical) it becomes possible to increase the size of the gear tooth without reduction of the contact ratio. The larger tooth is stronger compare to a smaller tooth. The reason why straight bevel gears are still used is because spiral bevel gears are more expensive in design and manufacturing, thanks to use of expensive spiralbevel gear cutting machines from Gleason Works or from Klingelnberg AG. In 1990, it became possible to manufacture spiral bevel gears on universal CNC milling machines, because of the development of special spiralbevel software for 3d CAD gear tooth modeling. Today, thanks to spiralbevel software, both straight and spiral bevel gears are manufactured on CNC milling machines at the same low cost.
