Advantages and Disadvantages of Precision Forged Gears
Precision forging technology can achieve advantages such as higher tooth profile accuracy, tooth phase accuracy and surface finish. This makes it have great advantages in some high-precision applications. However, during the tooth profile processing (such as hobbing, gear shaping, etc.), the metal fibers are cut off, and their force performance and anti-fracture ability are reduced, which may cause the hidden danger of tooth root fracture under overload.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Cutting Gears
The advantage of cutting gears is that the metal undergoes plastic deformation under high stress during the processing, and the formed metal fibers are continuous and dense, with good fatigue strength and wear resistance, which are suitable for frequent impact and heavy load conditions. However, its precision is low, the surface is rough, the working noise is loud, and tooth fatigue damage is prone to occur under high load.
How to choose the gear manufacturing process?
The key to choosing precision forging or cutting processing technology depends on the actual application needs of the customer. Different processes are suitable for different working environments and performance requirements, and should be determined according to the working conditions and economy.
