Advantages of our angular gearboxes
A Kronenrad Royal® gearbox is an angular gearbox in the classic design, similar to a bevel gear. The pinion is a conventional spur gear.
• Efficiency > 95 %
• Easy assembly and adjustment
• Large translation range (1:1 to infinity)
• Axial freedom from the pinion
• Hassle-free multiple input/output
• Simple sprockets- storage
• Cost-effective assembly
• Compact design
• Any axis angle 0…180°
• Low sensitivity to heat
• No pairing of pinions / Crown gear necessary
This is how a crown gear Royal® angle gear works
A crown wheel Royal® wheel set consists of a crown wheel and a pinion (typically straight-toothed). The geometry of the teeth on the crown gear is similar to a curved rack. The pressure angle changes over the tooth width. The pinion has conventional involute teeth. The rolling properties are like that of a spur gear.
Calculation and design of our crown gears
We have years of experience in manufacturing, interpretation, Calculation and simulation of the load capacity of crown gear Royal® gears according to standards and under load. This is how application-optimized gearing is created, that meet high demands on flexibility and quality.
The simultaneous calculation of the required tool geometry ensures this, that the gears are also manufactured according to the design.
This is taken into account using contact pattern analysis, that the best possible gear pairing is selected. This ensures smooth running and a long service life.
Our manufacturing processes
Depending on use, We decide the number and module of the gears, which manufacturing processes are best suited.
The following manufacturing processes are used for soft machining of the gears:
• 5-axis milling for prototypes and complex gears
• Gear shaping for medium quantities
• Hobbing for high volumes
• Skiving for high quality and quantities
High precision or smooth running are required, The gearing must be machined after heat treatment. This is done using:
• 5-axis milling for prototypes and complex gears
• Hobbing
• Rolling shells
Why you should rely on our right-angle gearboxes?
Our many years of experience in drive technology guarantees you:
• High quality and efficiency
• Short delivery times and reliable customer service
• Individual advice and tailor-made solutions

The Kronenrad Royal® gears can also be combined with our other gears from our standard range or precision gears from Nabtesco.
This is what our expert says about the Crown Gear Royal® angular gear
„Bevel gears are popular, proven and easily available, but not the best choice for every application. Especially when criteria such as installation space, The focus is on efficiency and assembly effort, There are technically and economically more attractive solutions. For example, crown gears are efficient for many applications, cost-effective and reliable option", explained Jürg Fürst, Managing Director at Balance Drive AG.

FAQ – Frequently asked questions about crown gears
What is a crown gear?? ↓
Crown gears are angular gears. That means: An- and output shaft are not arranged in parallel, rather, the two axes are at an angle to each other - ideal for tight installation spaces.
The power is transmitted via a combination of crown gear and spur gear (pinion). The axial freedom of the pinion is characteristic, the simple assembly and the possibility for multiple drives.
Where are crown gears used?? ↓
Crown gears are used, around rotational movements of 0 to 180 degrees to transfer. They are suitable for a variety of applications and are used in various industries, including in robotics, in automobile manufacturing, in mechanical engineering, in logistics and in the air- and space. Due to their compact design, they are an ideal solution for tight installation spaces.
What advantages do crown gears offer over bevel gears?? ↓
Crown gears achieve higher levels of efficiency, work more precisely, enable a more compact design and are easier to assemble. In short: They are more efficient and economical than bevel gears.
What is the difference between crown gear and bevel gear? ↓
Crown gears have teeth that are perpendicular to the axis, while bevel gears have slanted tooth flanks - ideal for different application requirements.
Are there maintenance-free versions?? ↓
And. Many crown gears are designed to be maintenance-free and equipped with bearings that are lubricated for life.
What characterizes an angular gearbox with high efficiency?? ↓
An angular gearbox with high efficiency impresses with its outstanding power density, Space-saving design and high user-friendliness.
It represents a further development of traditional angular gears and offers maximum efficiency and optimal cost-effectiveness - ideal for demanding applications with limited installation space.
