Spiral bevel gearbox FAQs: choosing the right drive
Choosing a spiral bevel gearbox starts with the demands of the machine: how much torque it must transmit, how accurately it must move and how it will fit into the installation. These answers explain the main considerations and how Tandler Precision can help with TANDLER gearbox selection in the UK.

What makes TANDLER spiral bevel gearboxes suitable for precision applications?
TANDLER spiral bevel gearboxes use ground Klingelnberg gears for smooth running and accurate power transmission. TANDLER carries out key manufacturing processes in-house, including gear production, heat treatment, grinding, inspection and assembly. The appropriate gearbox and backlash specification should be selected against the motion requirements of the application.
What information is needed to select a gearbox?
Start with operating and peak torque, input speed, ratio, running hours or duty cycle, and the required shaft arrangement. Installation dimensions, external shaft loads, environment and motion accuracy requirements also help define the selection. If you have a drawing or an existing gearbox specification, include it with your enquiry.
Are reduced-backlash versions available?
Yes. Reduced-backlash options are available for selected configurations. The achievable specification depends on the gearbox range, size and design, so it should be agreed against the requirements of your application.
When should I consider PowerMaster?
PowerMaster is worth considering when high torque must be transmitted within a restricted installation space. Depending on size and configuration, it can transmit up to twice the torque of a conventional TANDLER spiral bevel gearbox of comparable size. Tandler Precision can compare the ranges against your continuous and peak torque, speed, duty cycle and shaft loads.
Can a spiral bevel gearbox be adapted for my machine?
Yes. Depending on the range and duty, options can include alternative shafts, mounting arrangements, bearings, finishes and lubricants. Where these changes are insufficient, a custom gearbox can be considered.
