Abstract

A bevel gear mechanism, especially a bevel spur-gear mechanism having one or more gear mechanism stages, including a gear mechanism housing that surrounds the gear mechanism stages, and a motor cage, which is connected via a spacer flange to the gear mechanism housing, and is connected to an electric motor. The drive side shaft of the bevel gear mechanism stage is supported in a flanged bushing. Spacer flange and drive side end wall of the gear mechanism housing have a common bore. The common bore extends around the flanged bushing of the drive side shaft. The flanged bushing has a cylindrical outer surface that centers the gear mechanism housing, the spacer flange and the flanged bushing. Furthermore, the flanged bushing, the spacer flange and the drive side end wall are interconnected by screws.
