20150128419METHOD OF MANUFACTURING GEAR AND FORGING APPARATUS FOR MANUFACTURING GEAR - A forging apparatus carries out a method of manufacturing a gear having external teeth on an outer circumferential wall surface thereof and internal teeth on an inner circumferential wall surface thereof. First, an internal tooth forming die is inserted through a through hole defined in a workpiece. Next, a pressing die is caused to abut against the workpiece, and an external tooth machining die finishes the external teeth while preventing a support die from being lowered under action of damping mechanisms. Thereafter, a pressing die presses the workpiece to apply a load in excess of a preset load for the damping mechanisms. The support die is then lowered to lower the workpiece along the internal tooth forming die. At this time, the internal teeth are formed on the inner circumferential wall surface of the workpiece.05-14-2015

20090139090Device for fabricating a toothing at a three-dimensional body produced by forming and fine blanking - A device for fabricating a toothing at an inner facing edge of a three-dimensional pot-shaped body produced by forming and fine blanking exclusively implemented by cutting and/or shaving with a fine blanking die and/or a shaving device. The device includes a base plate and a pressure pad between which the pot-shaped body is receivable. A pilot die is received within a hollow space of a die and is biased in an advancement direction of the die such that a portion of the pilot die protrudes from the hollow space and contacts the base of said pot-shaped body before the die when the die is advanced in the working direction. A groove is thereby created between said curved edge of the pot-shaped body and the pilot die for leading a fine blanking burr or shaving chips into the recess of the pot-shaped body. Further advancement of the die fixing and pressing the burr or the chips into the recess.06-04-2009
20100229395METHOD FOR MANUFACTURING RIGID INTERNAL GEAR OF WAVE GEAR DEVICE - A method for manufacturing a rigid internal gear of a wave gear device in which an internally toothed portion formed with internal teeth and a gear main body portion are joined integrally, the method including preforming an internal teeth-forming ring or disc for forming the internally toothed portion by using a first aluminum alloy powder; manufacturing a forging in which the internal teeth-forming ring or disc is placed in a forging die and is integrally formed on its outer side with the gear main body portion using a second aluminum alloy powder, the first aluminum alloy powder being harder and having higher abrasion resistance than the second aluminum alloy powder; and applying post-processing including cutting teeth to the forging.09-16-2010
20130152394INDUCTIVE HARDENING OF TEETH OF GEARWHEELS - In a method for manufacturing a gearwheel, a gearwheel blank is clamped in a workholder of a multi-axis machine tool. A milling head is clamped in a tool holder which is rotated by a spindle drive to enable the milling head to mill out tooth spaces of the gearwheel blank to thereby create a gearwheel having teeth. After replacing the milling head in the tool holder with an inductor, the inductor is inserted successively between two adjacent teeth of the gearwheel and supplied with alternating current from a current supply device of the spindle drive to inductively heat at least one of the two adjacent teeth. The inductor in the tool holder is then replaced with a machining tool to remachine the teeth of the gearwheel.06-20-2013
20140053405METHOD FOR PRODUCING TOOTHED SECTIONS ON WORKPIECES - In a method for producing toothed sections on workpieces, a toothed section is firstly produced by means of a first tool in the region of a first end face of a workpiece to be toothed. The produced toothed section is reworked on the peripheral face by means of at least one second tool in the region of the first end face, while the toothed section is further produced. If the toothed section is also produced in the region of the second end face by means of the first tool, the reworking in the region of the first end face is already completed, so the toothed section can also be reworked in the region of the second end face. Short cycle times are thereby achieved with a low machine-related outlay.02-27-2014

20080271317COMPOSITE GEAR AND METHOD OF FORMING SAME - A composite gear and method of making same. In one embodiment the gear includes a body portion having a plurality of teeth. The gear is formed by placing it in a suitable tool such that a compressive stress is exerted on the teeth adjacent the root portion of each tooth. A portion of the gear adjacent the teeth is wrapped with a resin fibrous material that is allowed to cure while the compressive stress is maintained on the gear. When the resin fibrous material has at least substantially cured and the gear is removed from the tool, a permanent compressive stress is formed at the root portion adjacent each tooth. The compressive stress counteracts the tension stress that is experienced at the root portions of the teeth when the gear is in use, thus significantly strengthening (i.e., toughening) the gear and increasing its fatigue life.11-06-2008
