INGCO S-AG-BGS-AG10508, Angle Grinder – Large/Small Bevel Gear Set(S-AG-BGS-AG10508)

product details:

In an angle grinder, the bevel gear set is a critical component that transfers rotational motion between the motor and the grinding spindle at an angle. This allows the grinder head to be positioned at different angles for various cutting and grinding tasks. Here’s a detailed description of large and small bevel gear sets in angle grinders:

Function:

The bevel gear set consists of two meshing gears:

• Drive Gear (Large Gear): Typically attached to the motor shaft, this gear receives rotational power from the motor.
• Pinion Gear (Small Gear): Mounted on the grinding spindle shaft, this gear transmits the angled rotation to the grinding wheel.

Gear Ratio:

The size difference between the large drive gear and the small pinion gear creates a gear ratio. This ratio determines the final speed and torque delivered to the grinding wheel.

• Large Drive Gear – Small Pinion Gear (Higher Gear Ratio): This configuration results in a higher spindle speed with less torque. This setup is suitable for tasks like cutting thin metal sheets or grinding smooth surfaces where a faster cutting speed is desirable.
• Small Drive Gear – Large Pinion Gear (Lower Gear Ratio): This configuration provides lower spindle speed with higher torque. This is ideal for heavier-duty applications like grinding thick material or using larger grinding wheels that require more torque for effective grinding.
