Power Skiving - High Quality, Productivity and Cost Efficiency in Gear Cutting

摘要

Like electric mobility, the technology of power skiving has been known for more than 100 years (Ref. 1) and, with the availability of 5-axis machining centers, has found its way into individual and series production due to its convincing process flexibility. With e-mobility, a market is now growing which demands high precision (low running noise), high power transmission(torque and speed) from the product and equally high product flexibility in volume production. The use of planetary gears for reduction or as a differential in the drive system also increases the demand for internal gears. As with all manufacturing technologies, quality, cost optimization, flexibility and productivity are the top issues. "Power Skiving" makes a significant contribution to each of these aspects.
