I'm looking for right angle gearbox, but everything is horrible expensive or in parts like two bevel gears from aliexpress. Where I can find or how to name transmission like this in the picture but in box case (if possible with mounting holes)?

I need right angle transmission 1:1, no matter what type of gear or something else. Looking for compact size, outer size of one arm, max 40mmx40mm. Maybe I don't know proper name to find it.

Also if I don't find good out of the box solution, how to proper design that type of transmission? I know I need bearings on shaft and screw, but how to avoid skipping on teeth?

    Just like to point out that the bevel gears as shown aren’t meant to mesh at 90 degrees. – Eric S Feb 16 '21 at 22:04

Your terminology is correct, but also sometimes called bevel gearboxes. A cheap off the shelf unit is a few hundred dollars. If that is too expensive you probably won't save any money designing and fabricating the gears and housing yourself. A u-joint is a cheaper alternative.

But if you are intent on making your own, Boston Gear has good catalogue parts and resources. KHK gear also has good technical resources online.

  • thanks, I think that I'll use dobule cardan joint. I'm a bit affraid of 90 degree transmission efficiency, won't it be to much resistance on joints? I need to lift about 200N per one joint. – rozumir Feb 17 '21 at 07:15
  • Depends on the efficiency of the joint and how much torque (N*m) it's rated for. – jko Feb 17 '21 at 12:48

these things are sold cheaply (less than $20) for bending the output of an electric drill through 90 degrees, so you can drill holes in cramped places. they can handle from 1/4 to 1/3 horsepower typically. hardware stores sell them. they are called right angle drill drive attachments.

  • Thanks for answer, I found on my local store 105 degree attachment, I'm courius if there are gears that I can set for 90 degrees after displacement, maybe you have some knowledge about that? – rozumir Feb 17 '21 at 07:18
  • oh yeah, the 90 degree ones are the most common. – niels nielsen Feb 17 '21 at 07:39

    90deg ones are actually not that common - they're often a bit higher than 90deg to account for the thickness of the drill body when getting into tight spaces per their intended use. I needed 90deg for a similar project to you (using it as a gearbox), and used this one - https://www.axminstertools.com/axminster-right-angle-drive-attachment-506682 – Jonathan R Swift Feb 17 '21 at 10:44
  • @JonathanRSwift did you disassembled that adapter or made some mounting? If you disassembled it what's inside? – rozumir Feb 17 '21 at 11:01
  • I 3D Printed a housing to clamp it in – Jonathan R Swift Feb 17 '21 at 11:20
