APPLICATION OF HYPOID TRANSMISSION IN HYBRID ELECTRIC MACHINES

The article discusses the use of a hypoid gear, which is used in mechanisms where the axes of rotation of the gear and wheel do not intersect, but are displaced. These gears are different from ordinary gears with straight or tapered teeth, where the axes of rotation intersect. Hypoid gears are widely used in car transmissions, especially on the rear and front axles. In these gears, the hypoid wheel interacts with the hypoid gear, creating a specific tooth trajectory and allowing torque to be transferred between the misaligned axes. The main characteristics of hypoid gear are given, such as the displacement of the axes of the wheel and gears, which do not intersect, and which are offset relative to each other, high load capacity hypoid gears, which have the ability to withstand heavy loads, which makes them ideal for use in automobiles, smooth operation, due to the special shape of the teeth and their interaction, working quite quietly and with low vibration level. Hypoid gears have complex tooth geometries that require precise machining, but they provide more compact and efficient power transmission solutions in case of misalignment of the axles. The mechanical strength of hypoid gears is a key characteristic that determines their ability to withstand heavy loads during long-term operation without being subjected to excessive wear or destruction. The strength of hypoid gears depends on several factors, including materials, tooth shape, working conditions, and manufacturing accuracy. Hypoid gears play an important role in automotive transmissions due to their high efficiency, compactness, durability and ability to withstand heavy loads. These advantages make them indispensable for vehicles that require reliable and efficient torque transmission systems, trucks, and passenger cars with all-wheel drive.
