Abstract
The tooth bearing test of bevel gear is performed frequently, because it is necessary in this test to judge synthetically the precisions taking account of various gear errors. In the previous paper, the authors demonstrated a calculation method for the tooth bearing of bevel gear. In the present present paper, the tooth bearing was measured with changing the assembly condition, using a tooth bearing tester specially produced for this study. It was found that the characteristic of tooth bearing of bevel gear can be made clearer by expressing the sizes and the positions of tooth bearing in the tooth bearing in the tooth trace and tooth profile directions by numerical values. Furthermore, the influence of the shaft angle error on the tooth bearing of bevel gear was also made clear.
