We have developed a small size and high strength spiral bevel gear fabricated by five axis controlled machining center. In the present report, we propose a novel spiral bevel gear with the rib at the end of face width to reinforce the tooth bending strength, which is machined with a ball-nose end-mill tool. We investigate the influence of the rib shape on the bending stress at the tooth root based on 1D-CAE model and demonstrate the effect of rib reinforcement at the proposed spiral bevel gear. As a result, a novel guideline is found to design the small size and high strength spiral bevel gear with the rib at the end of face width from a view of rib shape.
