There is a short horizontal shaft and
hypoid gear set that send power to the prop shaft, then to the rear drive unit.
patent on generating bevel and
hypoid gear geometries using CNC.
These include packages for use with Ansol software in the area of
hypoid gear design and for users of Catia V5 computer-aided design.
Identical direct electromagnetic clutch units on ether side of the rear drive unit's
hypoid gear control the amount of torque that reaches each rear wheel, and act as the limited-slip differential.
By product type, the automotive gear market has been classified into worm gears, bevel gears, spur gears, helical gears, rack and pinion gears, planetary gears,
hypoid gears, and others.
