Abstract

In many cases, gear honing represents a cost-efficient process for gear manufacturers. Another advantage of gear honing is the generation of a surface structure on the tooth flank which improves the noise behavior of the gear. Previous research activities have resulted in reliable gear honing processes, particularly for automotive gears with a tip diameter of up to 150 mm. Problems occur, however, when honing larger gears with a tip diameter of more than 150 mm, thereby rendering a robust manufacturing process is difficult. In the course of this paper, an analysis will be carried out of the geometrical and kinematic conditions that will lead to a better understanding of the process. The aim of this report is to provide an overview of the current basic conditions of the gear honing process. Theoretical studies are conducted to identify differences in gear honing processes with various tip diameters. This analysis forms the basis for optimizing process design, with the aim of generating a cost-efficient gear honing operation for gears with a tip diameter of more than 150 mm.
