Precision and Innovation in Gear Cutting
Gear cutting has witnessed remarkable advancements over the years, with modern technologies transforming traditional methods into streamlined, highly efficient processes. NIDEC’s tools and methodologies increase productivity and quality in manufacturing. This article delves into the technological innovations, market relevance, and advantages of their gear-cutting solutions.
Cutting Tool Selection Criteria for Cylindrical Gear Manufacturing
This paper is divided into two parts. The first part is a general digression on the pressure angle on cylindrical gears. The pressure angle is a variable that plays an important role in defining the geometry of gears and hobs, yet it is not widely discussed. This introduction serves as a prerequisite for the second part of the paper. The second part will show an application case of choosing the most suitable hob to cut a given gear. In this selection process, particular attention will be paid to the pressure angle of the hob for cutting with modified rolling, i.e., with a reduced pressure angle compared to that of the gear.
