conjunctions - When do we use gerund after "and"?


I know after prepositions a gerund is used. Today in another question I wrote



Excessive bending can cause the pallet car to become engaged with the underlying structure, and increase the force required to rotate the conveyor.



I was suggested to use either thereby increasing or and increasing. However I don't know the rule for "and".


Here I wrote:




The next stage is to detect bending and measuring the degree of bending.



Should it be:



  • and measure

  • and to measure

  • and measuring


I would like to know when to use gerund after a conjunction word and when not!
