Abstract: A method and apparatus for finishing bevel gears has a pair of bevel gears which are rotatably engaged in a meshing fashion while being imparted with a brake force therebetween and one of the bevel gears is rocked against the other along a tooth profile direction extending between a tooth top and tooth root of a gear tooth in a manner such that the rocking bevel gear swingably rocks around its pitch apex of the base pitch cone thereof. Further, the bevel gears finish contacting gear tooth surfaces of at least one of the bevel gears both by rotational contact and by sliding contact by rocking motion.

Abstract: A computer controlled machine for forming longitudinally curved tooth bevel and hypoid gears having a minimum number of movable machine axes for setup and operation. The movable axes include three rectilinear axes (X, Y, and Z) and three rotational axes (T, W and P). The rectilinear axes are arranged in mutually orthogonal directions. Two of the rotational axes (T and W) provide for rotating tool (26, 27) and work gear (42, 43), respectively. The third rotational axis (P) provides for adjusting the relative angular orientations of tool axis (T) and work axis (W). Pivot axis (P) is positioned with respect to both tool axis (T) and work axis (W) at fixed inclination angles. A method of opeating the computer controlled machine provides for controlling the movable axis (X, Y, Z, T, W, and P) in response to setup and operating parameters of conventional bevel and hypoid gear generating machines.

Abstract: The apparatus for grinding rough-cut longitudinally curved gear teeth of a helical bevel gear, comprises two spindles for respectively mounting a tool and a workpiece, and structure for translatably and adjustably arranging at least one spindle of these two spindles. A separate electric motor arranged coaxially with each of the two spindles serves for driving the tool and for driving the workpiece, respectively. The separate electric motors are mutually interconnected by an electric shaft.

Abstract: This method is for finish machining the teeth of rough machined bevel gears having longitudinally curved teeth where finish machining is undertaken subsequent to case hardening. To permit economical fabrication of such bevel gears at least in mass production, the bevel gears are ground as workpieces by a tool designed as a hypoid gear and provided with at least one abrading surface on tooth flanks of its toothing. The workpiece and the tool are brought into mesh and positively and synchronously rotarily driven in the ratio of their respective tooth numbers. Displacement of the tool axis relative to the workpiece axis as well as speeds of the tool and the workpiece are selected such that a relative sliding velocity arising between the tool and the workpiece lies within the range of conventional surface speeds for grinding. All concave tooth flanks of the workpiece or all convex tooth flanks of the workpiece or both are continuously ground in a single operation with a feed motion.

Abstract: Apparatus for milling a gear for a double enveloping worm gear drive. A rotating milling cutter is advanced toward a workpiece spindle to mill a flank of a gear tooth by tilting the milling cutter supporting frame about an axis that passes through the axis of rotation of the workpiece spindle to form a predetermined change in the helix angle from the top to the root of the tooth. The initial tilt setting of the cutter is adjusted to suit the root helix angle.
