Tooling & Workholding: Software thought backwards
There are already an infinite number of different gear geometries. Nevertheless, engineers are constantly coming up with new variants. For […]
Influence of manufacturing variations of spline couplings on gear root and contact stress
Involute splines are widely used in mechanical systems to connect power transmitting gears to their supporting shafts. These splines are […]
Hob quality basics
The quality of a hob directly affects the final quality of the gear it generates. AGMA has developed a standard […]
Perfect Pitch
Gear manufacturers are turning to workholding to help reduce costs without compromising quality. Pitch Line Fixtures, for example, can be […]
Power Skiving with integrated cutter resharpening
Gear manufacturing by Power Skiving takes the traditional approach: After a cutter has reached its maximum wear, the operator changes […]
Chamfering of cylindrical gears: Innovative new cutting solutions for efficient gear production
Cylindrical gear chamfering and deburring is a rather “unloved” process that adds cost but without delivering readily apparent improvements in […]
