A bevel gearbox is an angular gearbox that transmits rotary motion at a 90-degree angle using bevel gears. Its specific design allows movements to be redirected efficiently and in a space-saving manner.

For flexible installation, ZIMM uses precisely manufactured bevel gearboxes that can be adapted to various mounting situations simply by rotating the housing.
