Thermal decoupling in bevel gearboxes prevents stresses, misalignments, or material deformations caused by temperature differences—such as between motor and gearbox. This is technically achieved through:

  • Insulating intermediate plates or air gaps to reduce heat transfer
  • Elastic couplings and strategic bearing arrangements to compensate for expansion
  • Materials with suitable thermal expansion coefficients
  • Optional: cooling systems and temperature monitoring

This ensures stable tooth engagement geometry and protects gears, bearings, and housings—crucial for sensitive bevel gear meshing.
