Solving the Problem of Horizontal to Vertical Motion with Gear Design

AI Thread Summary
To transmit horizontal rotational motion to vertical rotary motion, bevel gears are the most suitable option, especially for shafts positioned at right angles or inclined. Many companies provide online resources for selecting gears based on specific parameters like load and speed. Calculating the appropriate gear specifications typically involves understanding the torque, speed, and load requirements of the application. Starting with the shaft or pulley dimensions is essential for accurate calculations. Utilizing available online tools and resources can simplify the gear selection process.

i am working on design of a machine which requires use of gear. I need to transmit horizontal rotational motion to vertical rotary motion. my question is their a means of getting the specific type and specification of gear am to use without calculating? if am to calculate how do i start and what parameters am i to use for my calculation starting from my shaft or pulley.
thank you in anticipation of a solution to my problem

The most common type used for this is a http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bevel_gear" set.
Many companies have information on their websites for selecting gears, based on loads, speeds, conditions, etc.
Google "http://www.google.com/search?q=bevel+gear+selection"" returns a lot of options.

Bevel gears are the best options for transmission in such cases where shafts are either perpendicular or inclined at an angle.
 
Hi all, i have some questions about the tesla turbine: is a tesla turbine more efficient than a steam engine or a stirling engine ? about the discs of the tesla turbine warping because of the high speed rotations; does running the engine on a lower speed solve that or will the discs warp anyway after time ? what is the difference in efficiency between the tesla turbine running at high speed and running it at a lower speed ( as fast as possible but low enough to not warp de discs) and: i...
