FAQ: Can spur gears be hobbed?

EP: Hello,Spur gearIt can be hobbed. When selecting specific products, our technology can choose a suitable processing method according to your actual processing parameters and other requirements.

Gear hobbing is a generative method. The hob of the gear hobbing machine can process spur gears or helical gears of different sizes with the same modulus but different numbers of teeth. It is suitable for single-piece small batch production and mass production.

Note: There must be two movements to process a spur gear on a hobbing machine:

1. Form the generative movement of the involute tooth profile;

2. The movement of the linear tooth surface (wire) is formed.

There are many ways to process spur gears. In addition to gear hobbing, milling can also be used. If you don’t know, you can go toEP gear Free consultation.
