Advanced processing technology improves gear precision

Through experiments on the cutting process of high-precision, thin, small-module gears, it was found that the process of precision turning the gear sleeve - heat treatment - hobbing - slicing - grinding can meet the stringent requirements of module 0.2mm, pressure angle 20°, number of teeth 80, tooth thickness 0.3mm, gear accuracy below GB/T 6 grade, and gear flatness of 0.005mm.

The backlash of small module gear transmission is crucial

The transmission clearance of small module gears (module Mn ≤ 1mm) is considered the "lifeline" of precision equipment. Excessive clearance can cause positioning errors and increased noise and vibration; too little clearance can directly lead to jamming and burnout. Equipment such as robot joints, precision rotary tables, and automated production line gearboxes are all deeply affected by clearance issues.

Breakthrough Achieved in Ultra-Small Module Gears

Recently, the industry successfully developed an ultra-small module gear with a module of only 0.15 and a diameter of 2.6mm. It overcame challenges such as deformation and difficulty in ensuring tooth surface consistency in micro gear processing. By leveraging high-precision mold forming technology and an intelligent dynamic compensation system, it achieved mass production, bringing new possibilities to high-end fields such as medical and electronics.
