Deburring and Gear Deburring Deburring can be a major process of machining and gear tooth generation. Mostly the deburring process will also additionally affect the surface finish of the component, whether good or bad. Burrs, while only sometimes created when the tool enters a part, will always be created as a cutting tool exits…
Gear Hardness and Hardness Testing Gears are designed to operate under several known circumstances and from those circumstances designers can understand how strong a gear must be to operate properly. During the manufacture of different gears, the gear or gear blank cannot be cut in its final hardness due to machine or cost efficiency constraints.…
Threads Threads can be generated by means of subtractive, formative or additive manufacturing methods, though the most common method for precision thread generation is by subtractive methods such as thread cutting or grinding. Different methods are used for internal and external threads being generated. Threads are used in assembly applications for various engineering systems, as…
