Some disadvantages of hypoid gear transmission

Compared with other types of cross-shaft transmission, hypoid gear transmission also has some shortcomings. The explanations are as follows, for reference:

1. Compared with general orthogonal spiral bevel gears, the calculation of cutting gear adjustment is more complicated, and it is also more difficult to match the contact area.

2. High lubrication conditions require special hypoid gear lubricants.

3. Calculation and design are far more complicated than other gear pairs. According to Gleason's method, taking geometric calculation as an example, there are as many as 150 basic formulas, including three iteration calculations (usually three iterations, sometimes more Times).
