A numerical method for the contact analysis of uniform tooth height epicyclical spiral bevel gears stemming from the Klingelnberg’s Cyclo-Palloid System is proposed. The analysis is based on simultaneous generations of gear surfaces and contact simulation. A theoretical contact identification program has been developed. Conjugated tooth contact is examined. Longitudinal settings of contact patterns or contact across the surfaces from tooth root to tooth top were obtained as a function of machine-settings. The influences of each cutting parameter were isolated and were discussed.
