  1. Hobbing - Wikipedia

    • Hobbing machines, also known as hobbers, come in many sizes to produce different sizes of gears. Tiny instrument gears are produced on small table-top machines, while large-diameter marine gears are produced on large industrial machines. A hobbing machine typically consists of a chuck and tailstock to hold the workpiece, a spindle to mount the hob, and … See more

    Overview

    Hobbing is a machining process for gear cutting, cutting splines, and cutting sprockets using a hobbing machine, a specialized milling machine. The teeth or splines of the gear are progressively cut into the ma… See more

    Process

    Hobbing can create gears that are straight, helical, straight bevel, faced, crowned, wormed, cylkro and chamfered. A hobbing machine uses two skew spindles. One is mounted with a blank workpiece and the other hold… See more

    Uses

    Hobbing is used to make the following types of finished gears:
    • Cycloid gears (see below)
    • Helical gears
    • Involute gears… See more

    History

    Christian Schiele of Lancaster England patented the hobbing machine in 1856. It was a simple design, but the rudimentary components are all present in the customary patent drawings. The hob cutting tool and th… See more
