What Is A 90 Degree Gearbox Called?

A 90-degree gearbox is commonly referred to as a right-angle gearbox or a right-angle gear reducer. It is a type of gearbox that changes the direction of a shaft's rotation by 90 degrees, typically transmitting power from the input shaft to the output shaft at a right angle. These gearboxes are often used in applications where space is limited or where the direction of the shaft needs to be changed from horizontal to vertical or vice versa. They can be found in various industrial and mechanical systems, including automotive, manufacturing, and machinery applications.
