The characteristics of tooth profile of straight bevel gears of Gleason type were examined and the root stresses were investigated experimentally by making use of a static loading apparatus, which was developed by the authors. It was found that the tooth profile of straight bevel gears of Gleason type deviates from spherical involute curve in both the tip and the root of the tooth and that the root stresses at the middle of tooth trace are larger than those at the toe and the heel. Furthermore various calculating methods for contact ratio of straight bevel gears were compared on the basis of the measured contact ratio.
