FACE GEAR

Face Gears are unique gears used to transmit motion at right angles, typically from a pinion (spur or bevel) to a face gear with teeth on its flat surface rather than its circumference. Their compact design and ability to deliver smooth, low-noise operation make them suitable for space-constrained, precision-driven mechanisms.

At FloFit Enterprises, our face gears are manufactured with tight tolerances, high-quality materials, and advanced machining processes to deliver efficiency, accuracy, and durability in demanding applications.

Q: How is a face gear different from a bevel gear?
A: Face gears have teeth cut on the face of a disc, whereas bevel gears have teeth on their conical surface. Face gears are used for 90° drives where compact design is critical.

Q: What types of pinions can be used with face gears?
A: Typically, a spur or bevel pinion can be used depending on the application and required torque.

Q: Can FloFit manufacture custom face gear sets?
A: Yes, we provide customized gear solutions including pinion + face gear sets based on your specifications.

Q: Are face gears suitable for high-speed applications?
A: With proper material selection and precision finishing, face gears can operate at moderate to high speeds efficiently.
