Gear and spline shafts
Journal fits, shoulders and integrated transmission features.
MANUFACTURING CAPABILITY
CNC Turning & Component Machining
CNC turning and machining for gear blanks, shafts, bearing journals, bores, carriers and mounting features, with dimensions and tolerances defined by your drawing.
PROCESS OVERVIEW
How this process is used
The mounting features of a gear determine how it is positioned in the machine. CNC turning and machining establish the blank, shaft journals, locating faces, bolt patterns and other geometry that tooth production must reference.
Mazak and Doosan CNC turning and machining centers produce blanks, shafts and mounting features. The machining sequence accounts for mating fits, later tooth cutting and final inspection.
Planet carriers
Pin positions, bores and mounting features.
Ring gears and sleeves
Outside location, flange geometry and torque-transfer interfaces.
PRODUCTION & MEASUREMENT RESOURCES
Production and inspection equipment
Mazak CNC turning centers
Shafts, stepped blanks and applicable rotational features.
Mazak machining centers
Applicable prismatic, face and mounting features.
Doosan turning & machining centers
Connected gear-component and interface machining.
ROUTE PLANNING
Four decisions before production
Map the interfaces
Identify journals, bores, faces and critical mating fits.
Choose the locating scheme
Use the datum hierarchy defined by the component drawing.
Sequence the operations
Allow for tooth production, heat treatment and final finishing.
Check the complete part
Inspect the dimensions and relationships that govern assembly.

Drawing checklist
What to Include in a Gear Drawing Package
A gear drawing package should define the teeth, the mounting interfaces and the relationship between them.
