Powdered Metal Gears

Eliminates secondary operations such as hobbing shaving and grinding.

Powdered metal gears.

Electrical electronic components. The powder metallurgy p m process yields. Results in a powder metal gear with similar rolling contact fatigue properties to wrought and forged gears. Produces a mirror surface finish to reduce nvh levels.

There have been many advances to this process over the years which have in turn caused an increase in the popularity of powdered metal as a gear material. Powdered metal gears are used in many industries but are used most in the automotive sector. Gears are highly engineered precise and extremely well suited for manufacture in the conventional press and sinter powder metallurgy technology of asco sintering co. Powdered metal gears gears are mechanical hardware that are used to transmit motion speed and directional change between axes.

Gear quality up to agma class 8 possible without a secondary operation powder metal gears tooth forms are pressed in from a precision die we do not have the cost of shaving the teeth forming the gear tooth in a precision die means excellent part to part. Compared to machining the powdered metal process is often more efficient in terms of cost materials and energy. At first sight it may seem that traditional machining of transmission gears is a complex and expensive process. Powdered metal gears are made through the process of powder metallurgy.

Powder metal gears as a leading powdered component manufacturer atlas pressed metals provides a wide variety of powdered and sintered metal gears for several applications in multiple industries. Considerations of powder metal gears. The manufacturing of sintered metal gears can present many challenges for conventional manufacturers. Gears made by the powder metallurgy process provide a cost effective alternative to conventional steel or cast iron gears that are machine finished.

Powdered metal gears have inherent advantages over gears cut by conventional methods. Powder metallurgy nevertheless is yet to penetrate the market for gears in automotive powertrains despite past successes in other automotive applications.
