CNC Gear Shaping Insert HY-65016-3.0 – PVD HYB208 Coated, for Difficult Materials (Excl. High-Temp Alloys)

Gear-shaping inserts are key tool components directly involved in cutting during gear-shaping processing. They are mainly used for machining the tooth grooves of tooth-shaped parts such as gears and racks. Gear-shaping inserts, together with blind-groove inserts, are commonly used in petrol vehicles.

• Wide processing scope: They can process structures like internal gears and multi-gear clusters that are difficult to handle by hobbing, making up for the limitations of hobbing.
• High tooth-profile accuracy: With precisely ground cutting edges and stable gear-shaping motion, they can ensure high tooth-profile and tooth-alignment accuracy, which is suitable for precision gear manufacturing.
• Strong adaptability: By changing inserts of different specifications, they can machine gears with different modules and pressure angles, offering great flexibility.

The automotive industry is one of the largest application fields of gear-shaping inserts. Gears, as the core components of the automotive transmission system, have extremely high requirements for accuracy and reliability. Applications include transmission systems, engine components, and new energy vehicles.

Numerous transmission mechanisms in machinery equipment rely on gears to transmit power. Gear-shaping inserts are essential in the manufacturing of various general-purpose and special-purpose machinery.

• General machinery: Used for processing gears in machine-tool headstocks, reduction gears, crane transmission gears, etc. Especially for multi-gear clusters with shoulders, gear-shaping inserts can avoid structural interference and complete the tooth-profile machining of each gear ring.
• Heavy-duty machinery: For large-module gears like those of large-scale rolling mills and mining machinery, cemented-carbide gear-shaping inserts can withstand high-load cutting and efficiently progress from roughing to semi-finishing.
• Precision machinery: In the processing of small-module precision gears in fields such as instruments, meters, and textile machinery, high-speed steel gear-shaping inserts can ensure a pitch error of ≤ 5μm through precision grinding, meeting the requirements of low-noise and high-precision transmission.

Aerospace and defense equipment have stringent requirements for the reliability, lightweight, and adaptability of gears under extreme conditions. Gear-shaping inserts play a crucial role in high-end gear manufacturing. Applications include aero-engines and aerospace equipment.

The transmission system of rail transit equipment has to endure long-term operation with high frequency and heavy load. The fatigue strength and accuracy of gears directly affect driving safety. The application of gear-shaping inserts in this field mainly focuses on high-speed trains and EMUs, as well as rail transit vehicles.

Gears in ship power transmission systems and offshore equipment need to adapt to humid and highly corrosive environments and transmit high power. Gear-shaping inserts are widely used in their manufacturing. Applications include ship power systems and offshore equipment.

Wind power gearboxes are the core components for converting wind energy into electrical energy. Gears need to bear huge torque and alternating loads. The demand for gear-shaping inserts in the processing of wind power gears is significant. Applications include wind power gearboxes, yaw and pitch control systems.
