Classification:
Hypoid Gears
Hypoid gears are a high-performance special type of spiral bevel gears, featured by offset and non-intersecting axes (usually 90° arranged). With arc spiral tooth traces and hyperboloid tooth surfaces, they are the core transmission component for high-speed, heavy-load and low-noise working conditions, widely applied in automotive rear axles and heavy-duty drive systems.
Core Advantages
- Ultra-smooth transmission & low noise: Gradual meshing with high contact ratio, excellent for NVH control
- High load capacity: Large contact area and high tooth root strength for super torque transmission
- Compact structure: Offset axis design reduces chassis height and improves space utilization
- High efficiency: Transmission efficiency up to 97%~99%
- Long service life: Uniform contact stress distribution, strong resistance to pitting and wear
Key Differences from Spiral Bevel Gears
Item | Hypoid Gears | Spiral Bevel Gears |
Axis Relationship | Offset, non-intersecting | Intersecting (90°) |
Tooth Surface | Hyperboloid | Conical surface |
Axial Force | Larger | Smaller |
Typical Application | Automotive rear axles | Reducers, machine tools |
Common Materials & Heat Treatment
表格
Material Grade | Heat Treatment | Hardness | Application Scenario |
20CrMnTi/8620 | Carburizing → Quenching → Low-temp tempering → Gear grinding | Tooth surface: HRC 58~64Core: HRC 30~45 | Automotive rear axles, engineering machinery (first choice) |
20CrNiMo/17CrNiMo6 | Same as above | Same as above | Heavy-duty trucks, mining, wind power |
42CrMo | Quenching and tempering | HB 240~280 | General industrial reducers |
Typical Applications
✅ Automotive Industry: Rear drive axles of passenger cars, off-road vehicles and heavy-duty trucks; EV reducers✅ Engineering Machinery: Drive axles of loaders, excavators and road rollers✅ Heavy Industry: Large heavy-duty reducers, mining machinery, marine propulsion systems✅ Aerospace: Main reducers of helicopters (high strength & low noise requirements)
Processing & Usage Notes
- Special Equipment: Machined by professional CNC gear cutting machines (Gleason/Oerlikon)
- Pair Requirement: Designed, processed, inspected and used in pairs (non-interchangeable)
- Installation: Strict control of meshing clearance and contact mark; matched with taper roller bearings
- Lubrication: Use special hypoid gear oil (extreme pressure & anti-wear)
- Accuracy Grade: GB/T 11365 Grade 6~7 (automotive); Grade 7~8 (industrial)
