This International Standard specifies the geometry of bevel gears.
The term bevel gears is used to mean straight, spiral, zerol bevel and hypoid gear designs. If the text pertains
to one or more, but not all, of these, the specific forms are identified.
The manufacturing process of forming the desired tooth form is not intended to imply any specific process, but
rather to be general in nature and applicable to all methods of manufacture.
The geometry for the calculation of factors used in bevel gear rating, such as ISO 10300, is also included.
This International Standard is intended for use by an experienced gear designer capable of selecting
reasonable values for the factors based on his knowledge and background. It is not intended for use by the
engineering public at large.
Annex A provides a structure for the calculation of the methods provided in this International Standard.
