摘要
It is known that manufacture of hypoid gears is difficult and complicated,the reason lies on the limitation of traditional mechanical machine tools. With the development ofNC machine tools, there should be new ways of cutting this kind of gear. Therefore, an idea togenerate gears with conjugating tooth surfaces is proposed, based on the 'flexibility'characteristic of NC that means various motions, in a sense, can be performed, arbitrarily on NCmachine tools. Using this method, the direction of the contact path on tooth surfaces can becontrolled, and also, theoretically, the generated tooth surfaces can transmit motion at specifictransmission ratio curve.
