Abstract:
The invention concerns a method for the machining of the tooth edges between an axially facing surface and the tooth flanks of a gear with a machining tool that has a toothed contour. For the material-removing cutting operation, the machining tool, rotating about the axis of its toothed contour, is brought into rolling engagement with the toothed workpiece under a crossing angle different from zero between the rotary axes of the machining tool and the toothed workpiece.
Abstract:
A gear machining apparatus causes a machining tool and a workpiece to rotate at a high speed in synchronization with each other to machine a highly accurate gear through cutting. The machining tool is manufactured such that each of pitches between tool blades of the machining tool is an integer multiple of a pitch between teeth of the gear, the integer multiple being equal to or larger than double. By using the machining tool for cutting performed by the gear machining apparatus, the number of the tool blades of the machining tool, which are brought into contact with the workpiece at the same time, is reduced. Thus, it is possible to suppress occurrence of self-excited vibrations during cutting by reducing the cutting resistance. Thus, it is possible to enhance the tooth trace accuracy of the gear.
Abstract:
An apparatus for smoothing an inner toothing and/or an outer toothing of a component part. At least two radially adjustable smoothing gears, which engage in the inner toothing and/or outer toothing, are rotatably arranged inside the inner toothing and/or outside of the outer toothing. During smoothing, the component part is not firmly clamped but rather only rests loosely on a support. A thrust ring is provided at least at one of the smoothing gears for limiting axial movements of the component part, which occur during smoothing.

Abstract:
This invention provides a surface-coated cutting tool which exhibits excellent fracture resistance and wear resistance in high-speed cutting, such as high-speed gear cutting, high-speed milling, and high-speed drilling. The surface-coated cutting tool includes a hard coating layer composed of an alternately laminated layer structure of at least a thin layer A and a thin layer B formed on the surface of a tool substrate, such as a cemented carbide substrate, a cermet substrate, and a high-speed tool steel substrate. The thin layer A is an (Al, Cr, Si)N layer which satisfies a compositional formula: [AlXCrYSiZ]N (0.2≦X≦0.45, 0.4≦Y≦0.75, 0.01≦Z≦0.2, and X+Y+Z=1 in terms of atomic ratio). The thin layer B is an (Al, Ti, Si)N layer which satisfies a compositional formula: [AlUTiVSiW]N (0.05≦U≦0.75, 0.15≦V≦0.94, 0.01≦W≦0.1, and U+V+W=1 in terms of atomic ratio).

A self-locking dual worm gear with parallel axes and linear contact for the worms with involute herringbone gears is characterized by the fact that the cross sections for curvature radii p.sub.nm1 and p.sub.nm2 and the longitudinal sections for curvature radii p.sub.xm1 and p.sub.xm2 of the worm profile are always determined at the point of contact M for the teeth and with the following equations:p.sub.nm1 =p.sub.tm1 /cos .beta..sub.B1 ; p.sub.nm2 =p.sub.tm2 /cos .beta..sub.B2p.sub.xm1 =p.sub.nm1 .multidot.sin .beta..sub.B1 =p.sub.tm1 .multidot.g.beta..sub.B1 ; p.sub.xm2 =p.sub.nm2 .multidot.sin .beta..sub.B2 =p.sub.tm2 .multidot.tg.beta..sub.B2wherein p.sub.tm1 and p.sub.tm2 represent the curvature radii of an involute profile in the cross section at contact point M and .beta..sub.B1 and .beta..sub.B2 are the tooth edge inclinations for the worms with ##EQU1## wherein r.sub.m1 and r.sub.m2 represent the operational radii for the circles, which run through contact point M and r.sub.B1 and r.sub.B2 are the basic circle radii for the worms. One tool for manufacturing the worm profiles for the self-locking dual worm gear has turning tools with rounded cutting edges and curvature radii R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 which are determined with the following formulas: ##EQU2##
Abstract:
Gear-shaped precision-working tools, in particular shaving gears, capable of providing an optimum machining result only during a portion of their entire lifetime, since during each regrinding (generating), the profile displacement factor, and thus the number of the tooth flanks which engage successively and simultaneously one after the other the workpiece gear to be machined, is changed. This is remedied with the invention in such a manner that the precision-working tool is reground (generated) while maintaining the original number of teeth (z) and the original normal module of the pitch angle (.beta.), the module in transverse section and the base circle diameter are changed in such a manner that little or no change occurs to an original profile displacement factor (x). When the tool, which is to be reground (to be generated) in this manner, has grooved tooth flanks (12, 13), for grooves (14) increases continuously from a first groove (14') mutually adjacent one end of a tooth flank (12, 13) up to a second groove (14") mutually adjacent an other end of the same tooth flank, the grooves (14") having the greatest depth and the grooves (14') having the least on mutually adjacent and opposing tooth flanks (12, 13) opposing one another.
