This week I was reading about the type of crown gear uses in the differential of the international truck that I took apart. The type of gear set used is a hypoid gear. In this type of gear set the pinion gear drives the crown gear from below the center of the crown gear. This gives hypoid gears a greater torque capacity. These gears drive forward on the convex side of the gear teeth. The characteristics of a hypoid gear allows it to run quieter and makes it stronger.
