RESEARCH ON THE CHARACTERISTICS OF GEAR-CUTTING PROCESSES FOR EXTERNAL AND INTERNAL MESHING USING THE POWER SKIVING METHOD
The results of modelling and investigation of external and internal gear-cutting processes using the power skiving method are presented. The principles of constructing a geometric model of undistorted chip formation are described, based on parameters from which cutting forces are calculated. It is found that, under identical conditions, the cutting force is three times greater when internal gears are cut than when external gears are cut. The influence of this force on the machining error is determined by the gear pitch parameter.
