Abstract: A spinning roller for splitting rotationally symmetrical workpieces on a spinning machine is provided. The spinning roller is formed as a double splitting roller having two splitting edges arranged at a distance from one another in the axial direction of the spinning roller. A groove is provided between the two splitting edges. The groove is laterally bounded by a flank of the two splitting edges. To form specifically-shaped workpieces, the spinning roller can be alternatively formed of selected component parts including a first splitting edge, a second splitting edge and a spacer located between the two splitting edges.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing a work-piece which is rotationally symmetrical about an axis is provided wherein the work-piece has a spindle and at least one hollow member connected with the spindle by a hub part extending in radial direction. The method includes the steps of producing a work-piece blank having the rotationally symmetrical spindle and an integral, rotationally symmetrical, radially outwardly extending circumferential flange; mechanically processing the work-piece blank by at least one of boring, turning, milling, pressing, and grinding; and rolling a radially outer part of the flange to form the hollow member and leaving a remainder of the flange unchanged to form the hub. A roller is also provided for radially splitting the flange into three wings. The roller has two axially spaced splitting edges separated by a groove which has a rectangular cross-section.
