Operating Principle of Gear Hobbing Machine

2023-12-18

Press Release | December, 2023


Hobbing is a machining process used to cut teeth into gears and other similar components. The machine used for this process is called a Hobbing Machine.



The operating principle of a hobbing machine involves the use of a rotating cutting tool called a hob. The hob has a series of cutting teeth that are shaped to correspond to the desired gear tooth profile. The workpiece, which is the gear blank, is mounted on a rotating spindle.

During the operation, the hob is fed into the gear blank, and both the hob and the gear blank rotate in synchronization. As the hob rotates, its cutting teeth gradually engage with the gear blank, removing material to form the gear teeth. The hob is fed axially into the gear blank, and the depth of cut is controlled to achieve the desired tooth profile.




The hobbing machine also includes mechanisms for adjusting the hob's position and speed, as well as the rotation speed of the gear blank. These adjustments allow for precise control over the gear tooth dimensions and the overall gear quality.


Chamfering Hob


Overall, the operating principle of a hobbing machine involves the use of a rotating hob to cut teeth into a rotating gear blank, resulting in the formation of accurate and precise gear teeth.
