The driving performance of low-noise and high-strength spiral bevel gears(include spiral bevel gear and cycloid bevel gear) is required to be improved by advanced equipment. Through tooth surface topology design to improve the stiffness and bearing capacity,reduce vibration noise and the sensitivity of installation error is a research hotspot at present. The development of spiral bevel gear tooth surface topology design is briefly introduced,the basic principle of the latest tooth surface design is discussed,and the characteristics are analyzed. The reference is provided for the tooth surface design of high performance spiral bevel gears.
