Other Capabilities
Crown Hobbing
Forest City Gear has pioneered fine pitch crown
hobbing, a unique technology we apply to fine pitch gearing. This
process produces a barrel shape on the flank of the gear tooth
that compensates for misalignment and reduces noise. This application
is especially advantageous with high-speed spur and helical pinions
Carbide Re-hobbing (commonly referred to as skiving)
Forest City Gear’s carbide re-hobbing process
allows us to produce the highest quality gears at a lower cost
than grinding. Carbide re-hobbing eliminates distortion caused
by heat treating, allowing us to achieve gear quality of AGMA 9
or better. Gears that have been distorted or enlarged during heat
treatment can be salvaged with this process.
Analytical Gear Inspection
Forest City Gear’s state-of-the-art analytical
inspection equipment shows our commitment to quality. This equipment
is capable of checking pitch, runout, lead, and profile error to
ten millionths of an inch on spur, helical, worm and worm gears
as well as on hobs and shaper cutters. We have performed analytical
inspection on gears as fine as 96 diametrical pitch and with diameters
up to 35 inches.
Hob & Shaper Cutter Sharpening
Forest City Gear realizes accuracy of a gear’s
profile is determined by the quality of the hob or shaper cutter being used to generate
the teeth. Our modern hob-sharpening and shaper cutter equipment allows us to re-sharpen
hobs and shaper cutters consistently to class AA tolerances.
Gear and Thread Grinding
Forest City Gear's form grinders offers "Master
Gear Quality" for single and multi-thread worms. These machines are
capable of handling heavily modified profiles and crowned teeth
to 500mm diameter and shafts to a meter in length. For spur and
helical gears, we have ground master gears as fine as 80DP from
solid or finished roughed gears achieving qualities as high as
AGMA 14 or 15 (DiN 2-3) on some parameters, and even better occasionally.
