what are carbide gear shaving cutters used for


Carbide shaving cutters are precision machining tools that are widely used in the final finishing stages of gear manufacturing. The main purpose of this tool is to improve the finish and profile accuracy of gear teeth, and it is usually used after hobbing or gear shaping. Due to its excellent hardness and wear resistance, carbide gear shaving cutters are widely used in industries that require high performance of gears, such as automotive, aviation, heavy equipment and other fields.

 

In the gear processing process, hobbing, gear insertion and other processes mainly complete the roughing or semi-finishing of the tooth shape, at this time, the gear tooth surface in the precision, such as roughness, tooth shape error, etc., can not meet the needs of high-end machinery. At this time, carbide shaving cutter plays a key role.

 

It is through the gear mesh transmission with the processed gear, the use of cutting edge on the tool tooth surface of the gear tooth surface for micro-cutting. This process can effectively correct the tooth shape error, reduce the surface roughness, so that the gear's accuracy level has been significantly improved, usually up to level 6 or higher. It can be said that the carbide shaving cutter is an important guarantee for gears to move from basic machining to high-precision machining.

The gears processed by the carbide gear shaving cutter have significantly improved their tooth shape accuracy, tooth direction accuracy and tooth surface finish. This is of great significance for a pair of mutually meshing gear pair. Good tooth form and tooth orientation accuracy optimizes the contact situation of the gear pair and reduces the shock, vibration and noise generated during meshing. In automobiles, machine tools, aerospace and other areas where smoothness and reliability of transmission are important, such precision-machined gears can dramatically improve the operational performance of the entire mechanical system.

 

If your gear production has strict requirements for precision and stability, choosing carbide shaving cutters is undoubtedly a trustworthy investment. Contact us today to get an up-to-date quote on our products.
