Grinding Technology for Aerospace Gears
Optimising Grinding for Double Helical Gears
The demand for double helical gears in the civil aerospace industry is rising. This white paper shows how optimised grinding processes help reduce gap width and component weight while maintaining precision and improving cost efficiency.
Working closely with a European manufacturer, KAPP NILES improved the grinding process by optimising tool diameter, swivel angle and the DHC point, and by using a specialised spindle with a counter-bearing.
In this white paper, you will learn:
- What is challenging about double helical gear finishing
- Where conventional grinding solutions reach their limits
- How tool diameter, swivel angle and DHC point can be optimised
- Why spindle design is critical for precision and productivity
- How reduced gap width can contribute to lower component weight
