This chapter discusses factors related to the bending strength and allowable bending stress of straight-bevel gears made of iron. It covers the lengthwise curvature factor Kx, which depends on pressure angle and gear geometry, as well as the allowable bending stress number for iron gears based on their surface durability. Guidelines are also provided for the design of straight-bevel gear meshes to ensure proper engagement and distribution of loads between the teeth.
