Combi Honing of Gears

Due to the tight tolerances and the noise sensitivity of transmission components, hard finishing by grinding or honing is indispensable. Gear honing proves to be particularly advantageous since honed surfaces have proven to result in lower noise behavior than ground surfaces due to their specific, curved surface structure. Gear honing is also well suited for the hard finishing of gears with interfering contours, as is the case with the smaller gear on stepped pinions.

Hard Fine Machining of E-Components in the Border Area of Quality Requirements and Productivity

Using the appropriate grinding methods, such as generative grinding, gear wheels can be hard-finished very quickly and cost-effectively. This technique can be used very effectively to create flank modifications (crownings, reliefs, biases, etc.). Design engineers can take advantage of the flank modification capabilities of grinding machines and specifically design the gear mesh for wider load and RPM ranges, to reduce the impact excitation caused by premature meshing of deformed teeth.
