Ratio describes the relationship between the tooth counts. Shaft angle describes how the two axes intersect. Mounting geometry describes where the two finished components are positioned in the housing. Treating any one of these as a complete definition can lead to a pair that looks plausible but does not fit the intended assembly.<\/p>\n<section class=\"ep-section\">\n<div class=\"ep-container ep-split\">\n<div>\n<h2>Put ratio and axis relationship on the same assembly definition<\/h2>\n<p>A ratio can be written as tooth counts or as a numerical relationship, but the drawing should identify which count belongs to the gear and which belongs to the pinion. The shaft angle should be tied to the assembly axes, not inferred from the outside shape of the gear blank.<\/p>\n<p>For replacements, measure the housing or shaft arrangement that establishes those axes. A loose bearing or damaged support can make an \u201cas found\u201d angle misleading.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/spiralgears.top\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/ratio-shaft-angle.webp\" alt=\"Spiral bevel gear ratio and shaft angle diagram\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"ep-section\">\n<div class=\"ep-container\">\n<h2>Four geometry groups to keep together<\/h2>\n<div class=\"ep-table-wrap table-scroll\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-label=\"Przesuwana tabela techniczna\">\n<table class=\"ep-spec-table\">\n<thead>\n<tr>\n<th scope=\"col\">Geometry group<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Typical content<\/th>\n<th scope=\"col\">Dlaczego to wa\u017cne<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td>Ratio<\/td>\n<td>Gear and pinion tooth counts<\/td>\n<td>Defines the speed\/torque relationship of the pair.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Axis relationship<\/td>\n<td>Shaft angle and orientation<\/td>\n<td>Defines how the two shafts intersect.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Tooth orientation<\/td>\n<td>Right\/left hand and spiral direction<\/td>\n<td>Defines the mating tooth orientation.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td>Montowanie<\/td>\n<td>Mounting distance, datums and backlash<\/td>\n<td>Defines where the gears sit in the actual housing.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section class=\"ep-section\">\n<div class=\"ep-container ep-split ep-split-reverse\">\n<div>\n<h2>Mounting geometry connects the drawing to the machine<\/h2>\n<p>The same tooth geometry can behave differently if the pair is installed away from the intended position.

These omissions are manageable during design, but they become expensive when a supplier must reconstruct intent from separate emails.<\/p>\n<p>Use an assembly view or clear notes to connect the pair. If the shaft angle is not the common arrangement for your machine, make it impossible to overlook.
