Manufacturing Process & Precision Assurance

 

Housing Material & Manufacturing Process

 

product-235-338

 

This reducer housing is manufactured from 6061-T6 high-strength aluminum alloy. Compared with conventional cast iron, this material reduces weight by approximately 60% while maintaining excellent rigidity and thermal dissipation.

 

The housing features a three‑section design – input flange, central ring, and output flange – to facilitate precision machining and streamlined assembly.

 

Surface Finishing

  1. Central ring: sand‑blasted + silver anodized (thickness 15–20 µm), providing improved corrosion resistance and heat radiation.
  2. Input/output flanges: hard black anodized (thickness ≥30 µm), significantly increasing surface hardness, wear resistance, and mounting‑face rigidity.

 

Key Manufacturing Process

  1. Precision casting (LPC or SSM casting) Obtaining the initial blank.
  2. Multi‑axis CNC machining centers then perform complete finishing in a single setup – including flange spigots, mounting holes, and bearing bores(minimize accumulated tolerances).
  3. Critical mating surfaces undergo finish milling and precision boring, achieving a concentricity between the output flange spigot and the output shaft centerline of ≤0.005 mm, and a face runout of ≤0.01 mm.

 

Core Planetary Gear Manufacturing Standards

 

Raw Materials
All gears are made of 20CrMnTi (or equivalent imported carburizing alloy steel). Each batch is subject to strict spectrometric composition analysis and grain size inspection (grain size ≥ grade 7 per ASTM E112).

 

Standard Mass-Production Process Route

 

Gear blank machining: Precision forging or CNC turning from bar stock, ensuring blank radial runout and face parallelism ≤0.02 mm.

 

Rough tooth forming: High-speed hobbing or skiving, leaving a finishing allowance of 0.10–0.15 mm per side.

 

Pre-heat treatment (optional): Isothermal normalizing to refine grain structure.

 

Fine tooth finishing (before heat treatment): Shaving (applicable only prior to carburizing and quenching, to improve surface finish and tooth profile accuracy).

 

Final finishing (after heat treatment): Hard gear honing or gear grinding.

 

Surface treatment: Deburring, phosphating (for corrosion protection), or optional anti‑micro‑pitting coating.

 

Accuracy Grades

  1. Standard mass‑production gears: ISO Grade 6 (for module ≤2 mm).
  2. Critical gear pairs: Achieve higher consistency through profile and lead matching selection, with laser‑marked pairing codes to ensure proper meshing.
  3. Grinding upgrade: ISO Grade 5 or higher, available for high‑speed or ultra‑low backlash applications.

 

Key Process Parameter Controls

  • Effective case depth (CHD):

         Module m ≤ 2 → 0.3–0.5 mm;
         Module m > 2 → 0.5–0.8 mm (linearly interpolated according to actual module).

  • Contact pattern (gear pair meshing inspection): ≥60% along tooth height and ≥75% along tooth length, evaluated per GB/T 13924 or ISO 1328‑2 contact zone method.
  • Tooth modification: Based on finite element load analysis, crowning and tip relief are applied to reduce edge stress concentration.
  • Backlash (side clearance) control: Controlled via tooth thickness reduction and center distance tolerance, combined with matching selection, offering three standard levels:

         P0: ≤3 arcmin (return angle)
         P1: ≤6 arcmin
         P2: ≤9 arcmin
(Note: The arcmin value represents the free angular displacement at the output shaft under no‑load conditions, with the input shaft locked.)

 

Engineering Tolerances & Quality Control System

 

Tolerance Standards

  • General linear dimensions and geometrical tolerances comply with ISO 2768‑m.
  • Critical mating dimensions follow the ISO 286 hole‑and‑shaft tolerance system.
  • Geometrical tolerancing per ISO 1101.

 

Critical Mating Precision

  • Output shaft: h6 fit (recommended mating bore: H7).
  • Output flange spigot: g6 tolerance, face runout ≤0.01 mm, concentricity ≤0.005 mm.
  • Input clamping bore: precision internal grinding, cylindricity ≤0.003 mm, ensuring zero‑clearance fit with the motor shaft.

 

Inspection & Testing

  • First Article Inspection (FAI) performed for new tooling.
  • Statistical Process Control (SPC) applied throughout production.
  • 100% final inspection on every unit, including:

         Actual backlash measurement,
         No‑load running‑in (noise and drag torque monitoring),
         Temperature rise test,
         Oil seal leak test (helium leak detection).

 

Traceability
Each unit is assigned a unique serial number, enabling full traceability to raw material batch, key machining parameters, and final test records.
