About This Item
Full Description
This paper introduces the latest process developments for the hard-finishing of gears, specifically in regard to controlling the so-called flank twist. The purpose of twist control grinding (TCG) is to either eliminate twist, to introduce a counter-twist on purpose, or to add a specific twist to counteract the deformation of gears under load. By controlling twist, the contact bearing surfaces of meshing gear sets can be fully optimized, and therefore, the forces acting on the bearing surfaces can be ideally distributed. This leads to more efficient gears, both in terms of power density and fuel consumption. Today, in terms of grinding times, twist control grinding is on par with the standard continuous generating grinding which is well-established in the industry. High volume TCG production of twist-free gears, or gears with a defined twist, is now standard production practice at several automotive gearbox manufacturers.
