Hobbing a Spur Gear & Pinion

[@sarahdelacruz5208]

great video, ive always loved gear hobbers but could never really find a decent video that has a clean and concise walk through of the process. you guys got another subscriber.

[@EvolventDesign]

Glad you liked it!

[@normshafer2243]

Thanks Andrew. I took a couple short videos with my phone to show family and friends what I learned at the Evolvent Gear School. Now I can show them this video which demonstrates the process in a much clearer way. Naburian Rocks!!! Norm in Arizona

[@EvolventDesign]

That is awesome!

[@AlmostMachining]

This was great. Thank you!

[@EvolventDesign]

Glad you enjoyed it! Stay cool in AZ

[@hamidileila5358]

Nice video, you have a wonderful approach teaching. Please also mention that we have to set the helix angle 2deg43mn of the hub so the tooth are strait

[@EvolventDesign]

Great tip!

[@impactodelsurenterprise2440]

Please make a video on spiral bevel gears

[@tariqhaki7597]

Great work.. Can I make a 23 tooth gear differentially without using the number 23 or its multiples?

[@EvolventDesign]

23 is a prime number - probably not

[@vat_1989]

Beautiful and very informative. Thanks a million

[@EvolventDesign]

My pleasure!

Hi, well done and explained the process many youth should need to learn these processes, envelope arrived opens live in an up coming video. We are enjoying your videos learning a lot love watching the machines making those gears. Hey those buy/rent hobs, can those hob tool cutters be re-sharpened? Thank you, Lance & Patrick.

[@EvolventDesign]

Glad you liked it. YES, you can resharpen the hobs and if you slide them on the hob arbor between batches of gears you can even out their wear.

[@benjamintrofemuk1137]

Hey! Thanks for answering my question on machine constant it helped a lot. Do you have any resources on figuring out feeds and speeds for cutting a gear based off of material. For instance what feeds and speeds to cut a gear out of 4130 or 4340 steel.

[@EvolventDesign]

There are not many resources out there and I it would have a lot to do with the hob material and coatings. The main manufacturers of Hobs are Tru-Volute (Japan), Star Su (China) , Gleason (NY). Since there are very focused gear shops for very specific materials etc, I am sure they are optimized, but they have no need to share with others. Stay tuned on this one as we are gathering this data ourselves. The range for steels is pretty big at 65-115 ft/min for the older HSS like M2 and M4-M42 hobs. Basically, the newer hobs have coatings that really extend the life of the cutters. Usually they require higher cutting speeds++. If you find anything please let the channel know. Great Question.

[@sarahdelacruz5208]

could you guys do a video about the choice of material used? Like what type of steel to use based on what kind of application. when and why you would use a certain type of steel? when hardened and ground gears would come into play? one last thing, how hard of a steel could you cut with a hobber? Could you possibly cut a gear with a hardness of anywhere around 40-50 rockwell? or is that where grinding comes into play? thank you.

[@EvolventDesign]

Great question - I will put it on the list. Generally, the hob bits are used on annealed alloy steels. Anything too hard and it can damage the bit. From a process standpoint to achieve a very hard high precision gear there are many steps. On the metallurgy side ONE method/alloy is to 1) hob annealed 4140 at RC32 yield strength is already high at 130,000psi with (stock to leave) 2) harden to RC 52 (yield rises to 219700 psi with proper processing) 3) Grind final involute profile to tolerance A few interesting topics on materials are strength and also how repeatable the process is in the hardening phase, how deep to harded etc. Skiving is another process altogether an can be done on hardened materials.

Can you explain full concept including calculation and and setting up.....

[@TheKnacklersWorkshop]

Hello Andrew, Cool video, I enjoyed it very much, thank you. Take care. Paul,,

[@EvolventDesign]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@sarahdelacruz5208]

can you mayby do a video of testing the gear? like run out and how you measure if a gear can meet the specifications of like a class 10 gear for example?

[@EvolventDesign]

We use a Vari-Roll system for our spur and helical gears, and a similar gear rolling mechanism for our bevel gears. AGMA old 10 or AGMA new 10? Sure I can post this one fairly soon. Thank you for your interest and watching.

[@timogross8191]

Do you also hob timing belt pulleys? I was wondering if there are GT2 timing belt hobs available.

[@EvolventDesign]

Yes, familiar with the Power Grip GT hobs from 2mm up to 5mm sizes. Would need to check on GT2. Send me an email ....

How about a worm gear and wheel?

[@EvolventDesign]

The video is "on the list", the worm can be made in our Okuma or other lathe that can be setup or programmed to cut a diametral or circular pitch. The worm gear can be made on any of our hobbers either with a single flycyutter, or with a worm hob.
