What Type of Gears Transmit Power Between Shafts That Intersect

Question

What type of gears transmit power between shafts that intersect at an angle?
A) helical
B) worm
C) rack and pinion
D) bevel

Accepted Answer

Bevel gears are specifically designed to transmit power between shafts that intersect at an angle, making them the best choice for this scenario. Helical gears are best for transmitting power between parallel shafts, worm gears are best for high reduction ratios and limited space, and rack and pinion gears are best for converting rotary motion to linear motion.
