The shape of a hypoid gear is a revolved hyperboloid (that is, the pitch surface of the hypoid gear is a hyperbolic surface), whereas the shape of a spiral bevel gear is normally conical. The hypoid gear places the pinion off-axis to the crown wheel (ring gear) which allows the pinion to be larger in diameter and have more contact area. In ...

Bevel gears are gears where the axes of the two shafts intersect and the tooth-bearing faces of the gears themselves are conically shaped. Bevel gears are most often mounted on shafts that are 90 degrees apart, but can be designed to work at other angles as well. [1] The pitch surface of bevel gears is a cone, known as a pitch cone. Bevel gears ...

The designation of wide versus close ratio affected the lowest gear ratio; [7] for example, the four-speed Muncie transmissions offered in General Motors performance vehicles included the M20 "wide ratio" transmission, which had a first gear ratio of 2.52 or 2.56:1, while the M21 and M22 "close ratio" transmissions had a first gear ratio of 2.20:1.
