Explanation:

Skew Bevel Gears: When two straight bevel gears are mounted on shafts, which are non-parallel and non-intersecting, they are called skew bevel gears. They are shown in Fig. It is seen that the apex point of the pinion is offset with respect to that of the gear. Skew bevel gears have the following characteristics:

(ii) Skew bevel gears are mounted on non-parallel and non-intersecting shafts.

(i) Skew bevel gears have straight teeth.
