Abstract:
1. A hypoid reducing device, said device comprising: a hypoid gear set including a hypoid pinion shaft having a hypoid pinion at a tip end thereof, a first bearing and a second bearing for supporting said hypoid pinion shaft, and a hypoid gear having an axial line orthogonal to a plane through said hypoid pinion shaft, said hypoid pinion being allowed to engage with said hypoid gear, thereby transmitting rotation; a joint case having a motor side and a hypoid gear set side; a motor having a motor shaft, coupled to said hypoid pinion shaft on a base end side thereof, for driving said hypoid pinion shaft to rotate, said hypoid pinion shaft including a solid shaft portion projected toward said motor beyond said first bearing on the motor side of the joint case; a supporting case for supporting said first and second bearings on said hypoid gear set side of said joint case, said joint case provided separately from said supporting case, and said motor and said supporting case being coupled through said joint case; and a coupling through which said motor shaft and said solid shaft portion are coupled in said joint case.
