Frequently Asked Questions

What is gear hobbing and how does it work?

Gear hobbing is a machining process used to cut gears using a rotating hob cutter. The workpiece and the hob rotate in a synchronized manner, allowing precise gear teeth to be cut. This method is widely used for producing spur, helical, and spline gears with high accuracy and efficiency.

Which type of gear hob should I choose for my application?

The choice depends on the gear type: use straight gear hobs for spur gears, helical gear hobs for angled teeth, spline hobs for shafts, worm gear hobs for worm wheels, and timing pulley hobs for toothed belt systems. Custom modules and profiles are available based on your requirements.

What materials are used to manufacture gear hobs?

Gear hobs are typically made from High-Speed Steel (HSS) or Carbide. HSS is preferred for general applications due to its toughness, while Carbide hobs offer superior wear resistance and longer life in high-speed or abrasive environments.

Can gear hobs be used on CNC machines?

Yes, gear hobs are fully compatible with CNC gear hobbing machines. CNC integration allows for higher precision, better repeatability, and more efficient production of complex gear profiles.
