Abstract
A method for adjusting the meshing position of a hypoid gear having a first gear, and a second gear meshing with the first gear and transmitting the rotary motion thereof in the direction different from the extending direction of the axis of rotation of the first gear. The method for adjusting the meshing position comprises; a) a step for displacing the second gear a plurality of times along the axial direction of rotation while meshing with the first gear, b) a step for measuring the transmission error at each displacement position and plotting the relation of the displacement distance of the second gear and the measured transmission error, c) a step for evaluating the virtual transmission error between the measured transmission errors from the measured transmission error, d) a step for subtracting the measured transmission error and the virtual transmission error from a maximum allowable transmission error to determine the difference, e) a step for determining the area of a part surrounded by the difference and the maximum allowable transmission error by integrating the difference with the displacement distance of the second gear, and f) a step for dividing the part at a predetermined area ratio and setting a point where the division line intersects the displacement distance of the second gear at the meshing position of the second gear.
