Hypoid Gearboxes
Hypoid gearboxes are similar to a spiral beveled gearbox but with elongated, curved teeth. The cone-shaped gears are a cross between Spiral bevel gears and worm gears.
One advanced feature of hypoid gearboxes is that the gear and pinion are mounted on non-parallel non intersecting shafts. The pinion also has a larger spiral angle than the gear, which enables elongated tooth contact. Enlarged pinions create a larger tooth contact area, allowing for smoother operation, higher torque transmission and load-carrying capacities, and efficiency of 96-98%.
