2. Bevel Gears: Manufactured with modules 0.5 through 8 and offering configurations such as straight tooth, spiral tooth, and hypoid, these gears are made from similar robust materials as the spur gears.
3. Gear Racks: Essential for linear motion applications, these racks are available in multiple materials including stainless steel, carbon steel, alloy steel, brass, nylon, and acetal, with module options from 0.5 to 10, and standard lengths ranging from 100 mm to 2000 mm.
4. Helical Gears: Designed for rack-and-pinion systems, these gears serve as drop-in replacements for spur gears and are designed for seamless integration.
5. Internal Ring Gears: Available in modules 0.5 through 3, making them suitable for planetary gear designs.
6. Worms and Worm Wheels: This range is significant for high-ratio power transmission solutions, allowing for greater mechanical efficiency.

All these gears can also benefit from optional heat-treating, enhancing their durability, load capacity, and overall service life, making them ideal for performance-critical applications.
