Do you know all 5 kinds of gear finishing?

5 typesGear finishing, Do you know everything?The 5 types of gear finishing methods are gear extrusion, gear grinding, gear shaving, gear honing and gear grinding, respectively, as follows for reference and understanding.

1. Squeeze the teeth

It is mainly suitable for the finishing of soft tooth surface gears after gear hobbing and gear shaping.

To squeeze teeth is to use squeezeMachining gearThe tooth surface is extruded to improve the surface quality of the product.

2. Grinding teeth

Gear grinding can grind hardened gears, eliminate heat treatment deformation, improve product accuracy and improve tooth surface roughness.

Gear grinding is the use of a grinding wheel to grind the tooth surface.

3. Shaving teeth

Gear shaving has high production efficiency and is suitable for soft tooth surface finishing after gear hobbing and gear shaping.The precision of gear shaving is limited by the precision of the gear before shaving.

Tooth shaving is to use a shaving cutter on a shaving machine.It drives the gear to be processed to rotate relatively, relying on the relative sliding on the tooth surface, the shaving knife cuts off a very thin layer of metal on the tooth surface to complete the finishing of the product.

4. Honing

The method of gear shaving is basically the same, that is, the shaving cutter is replaced with a honing wheel of the same shape, and the tooth surface is polished by relative sliding with the tooth surface. The tooth surface of the processed gear can be soft or hard.

5. Grind teeth

Gear grinding has the advantages of high processing efficiency, free from tooth restriction, improved gear tooth surface contact conditions, low cost, and good noise reduction effect.

Grinding is to make the gear to be ground and the slightly braked grinding wheel mesh freely without any gap, and add abrasive between the meshed tooth surfaces, and use the relative sliding of the tooth surface to cut off a layer of pole from the tooth surface of the gear to be ground. Thin metal is a finishing method to correct the small tooth profile error of hardened gears and improve the surface quality.
