GEAR TYPES
• Cylindrical gears:
- spur
- helical
• Bevel gears:
- straight
- curved (spiral)
• Worm wheels and worms
2
Involute tooth profile
3
Spur and helical gears cutting
METHODS:
• form milling – using a cutter (with the same
edge profile as the shape of the tooth space)
and a dividing device
• hobbing – using a hob and a generating
process for creating a tooth profile
• shaping – using a shaper cutter and a
generating process for creating a tooth profile
• broaching

Broaching
• Very productive method
• Broach has the shape of gear
• Ideal for internal gears
– Tooth gaps one after another
– All gaps simultaneously
Desc.:
1 – elongated body, 2 – teeth, 3 –
gullets, 4 – teeth gaps, 5 – axis, 6 –
follower end, 7 – pull end, 10 –
outside shape of broach
Broaching
• From a premachined hole a final gear is made

GEAR WHEELS SHAVING
The gear and the cutter are run in mesh with their
axes crossed at a small angle. During the rotation the
gear is reciprocated longitudinally across the cutter.
This „shaving“ process causes very fine chips are cut
from the tooth surface (process requires less than 1
minute)

Gear lapping
• On finished, shaved and hardened gears.
• The gear runs in contact with one or more cast
iron lapping gears
• Flow of oil with abrasive is used
• Improves surface quality at low costs then
grinding
• Ra = 0,1 – 0,2

Straight bevel gears cutting
METHODS:
• form milling – using a cutter (with the same
form as the tooth face) and creating first one,
than the opposite face flank of the tooth
• involute-generating milling– using two
cutters representing one tooth of a rack and a
generating process for creating a tooth profile
• shaping – using a shaping rack tool and a
generating process for creating a tooth profile
• broaching – using rotational broach

Curved bevel gears cutting
METHODS:
• Gleason – teeth curved in the form of
circle
• Oerlikon – teeth curved in the form of
epicycloid
• Klingelnberg – teeth curved in the
form of involute
43
Gleason method
Tool is a composition of a
round body and cutting
tools. The can be
adjusted separatelly.
