Miter gears are the most used of all bevel gears. Now that cutting and grinding methods of conical involute gears with a cone angle of 450 have been established, miter conical involute gears may become the most useful of conical involute gears. However, the tooth bearing of miter conical involute gears has not necessarily occured in the desired position. In this paper, first a new design for miter conical involute gears is developed, making it possible for the tooth bearing to occur in central part of the tooth width. Second, the test gears are designed and made. Finally, the tooth bearing tests are performed, and the design applicability is proven.
