Transmission gears
Specified finished tooth geometry in industrial and vehicle drives.
MANUFACTURING CAPABILITY
Precision Gear Grinding
Precision gear grinding for specified tooth profiles, finishing and accuracy requirements. Send your tooth data, material condition and inspection requirements for review.
PROCESS OVERVIEW
How this process is used
Gear grinding removes a controlled amount of material from the tooth flanks to establish the specified finishing condition. Where hardening is part of the route, grinding allowance and heat-treatment movement need to be considered before the blank and teeth are produced.
Generating and form grinding equipment support different gear geometries. Tooth form, material condition, access and the required accuracy determine the grinding and inspection plan.
Integrated gear shafts
A controlled relationship between gear teeth and bearing journals.
Custom hard-finished parts
Finishing requirements reviewed with the full material and treatment state.
PRODUCTION & MEASUREMENT RESOURCES
Production and inspection equipment
Nidec ZE26C
High-speed gear grinding equipment for the specified tooth finishing.
Qinchuan YKZ7230 / YKS7225
High-speed gear grinding resources.
YK7332A
Form grinding equipment for suitable gear tooth geometry.
ROUTE PLANNING
Four decisions before production
Confirm the final tooth form
Align profile, lead and any specified flank corrections.
Plan grinding stock
Connect pre-grind geometry and treatment to the finishing allowance.
Establish the datum
Define how the part is located and checked relative to its mounting features.
Measure the finished teeth
Evaluate the agreed tooth characteristics and report format.
