Three Configurations: Affolter Gear Hobbing Machine AF160 Offers Versatility
When developing the AF160, maximum versatility was the key goal of the Engineering Department of the Swiss family enterprise Affolter Group, a world technology leader in high-precision gear hobbing solutions. With the optional quick-change system, machine operators can switch from one configuration to the next in only 30 minutes. Worms can be produced in configuration II.
Conjugate Gears
In this paper, the authors use graphics and written explanations to present the requirements for conjugacy for the following involute-based gear types: spur, helical, crossed-axis helical, worm, bevel, and hypoid. Here the authors generalize the law of gearing such that it applies to all forms of conjugate gears.
Vacuum Gas Nitriding: Gears
Vacuum gas nitride processing from Solar Atmospheres can significantly increase the fatigue strength and service life of your parts. Benefits include case depths up to 0.025” and improved wear and anti-galling properties due to a 40 - 70% increase in surface hardness. Corrosion resistance is increased through nitrogen-enrichment.
