Abstract
A general mathematical model for the generated gear tooth surfaces of spiral bevel and hypoid gears is established based on the three-axis CNC bevel gear machine. According to the principle and the method for the function-oriented design of point-contact tooth surfaces, the locus of spatial tooth contact points on the tooth surface is described on the axial plane of the gear, and then the detailed formulae for the design with the generated gear are derived from the mathematical model. The mathematical model and the formulae can be used in the function-oriented design of point-contact tooth surfaces of spiral bevel and hypoid gears with the gear generated in different types on both the three-axis CNC bevel gear machine and the conventional cradle one.
