Gear Manufacturing with Connexus
Gears are mechanical components that are used to transmit power and motion between rotating shafts. They are typically made by a process called gear cutting, which involves shaping and cutting a gear blank into the desired gear shape. There are several methods for gear cutting, some of them are discussed below.
Gear Manufacturing
- Hobbing : This is a process in which a hob (a specialized cutting tool) is used to cut gear teeth into a gear blank. The hob is rotated and moved along the gear blank, cutting the teeth into the material.
- Milling : This method uses a milling cutter to remove material from a gear blank and create gear teeth. This can be done using a traditional milling machine or a CNC machine.
- Shaping : This method uses a gear shaping machine, which is a specialized machine that cuts gear teeth into a gear blank using a cutter in the shape of a gear tooth.
- Broaching : This method uses a broach, which is a long, multi-toothed cutting tool, to cut gear teeth into a gear blank. The broach is pushed or pulled through the gear blank to remove material and create gear teeth.
- Grinding : This method uses a grinding wheel to remove material from a gear blank, allowing for very precise gear teeth to be cut.
Once the gear teeth have been cut, the gear may be heat treated to improve its strength, and then is usually coated for better surface finish and protection.
The method chosen for gear cutting will depend on the size and complexity of the gear, as well as the desired precision and surface finish.
