introduction
Gears are the fundamental parts for motion control and power transfer in mechanical engineering. Considered for its efficiency and versatility, gear hobbing is a classic machining method extensively employed in gear manufacture. At Hansheng Automation, our gear hobbing service can provide high-precision gears with tolerances ranging from 0.005mm to 0.01mm. To enable readers to completely grasp this traditional gear processing technique, this article will explore the definition, operating principle, technical features, material application and benefits of Gear Hobbing.
What is Gear Hobbing
Gear Hobbing is a machining technique wherein a spinning milling cutter-also known as a hob-cuts gears. It fits for the manufacturing of many kinds of gears, including helical, spur, and helical gears. Since the 19th century, this procedure has been extensively used and has great relevance in contemporary production.
Gear Hobbing's methodologies
Gear Hobbing's working concept is derived from the relative motion between the workpiece and the cutting tool. The gear is formed by many cutting motions when the spinning hob contacts the stationary workpiece during machining. The secret is the hob's cutting angle and the related workpiece location, which is exactly under control to produce gear's shape with every cut.
