Abstract
Receiving arrangements for receiving camshafts and methods for grinding machining camshafts may be used with camshafts that have a shaft body that extends along an axis of rotation and includes functional elements. A gearwheel may be mounted on the shaft body, wherein a receiving body is provided, by means of which the camshaft can be at least partially received for purposes of performing a grinding machining process. The gearwheel may include a receiving means onto which the receiving body can be engaged and by way of which it is made possible for the camshaft to be received by the receiving body.
Claims16
A combination of a workpiece, a workpiece holder, and a gearwheel, the combination comprising:
- a camshaft configured as the workpiece, the camshaft including a shaft body that extends along an axis of rotation and includes functional elements;
- the gearwheel, which is mounted to the shaft body of the camshaft, the gearwheel including receiving means and teeth, wherein the receiving means of the gearwheel comprises a collar with an annular conical recess that is inward facing with respect to the gearwheel, wherein the collar is integral with the gearwheel and concentrically positioned about the axis of rotation;
- and
- a receiving body configured as the workpiece holder, wherein the camshaft is at least partially received in the receiving body, wherein the receiving body is disposed farther from an axial midpoint of the shaft body than the gearwheel, wherein the receiving means of the gearwheel is engaged with the receiving body, wherein the receiving body comprises a receiving formation that is of a complimentary form to the annular conical recess of the collar of the gearwheel and which is engageable onto the annular conical recess of the collar.
A workpiece and holder combination comprising:
- a workpiece having a shaft body including functional elements, wherein the shaft body extends along an axis of rotation;
- and
- a gearwheel having teeth mounted on the shaft body, the gearwheel having a receiving means that is engageable with a workpiece holder receiving body and that permits the camshaft to be received by the workpiece holder receiving body, wherein the receiving means of the gearwheel comprises a collar with an annular conical recess that is inward facing with respect to the gearwheel, wherein the collar is integral with the gearwheel and concentrically positioned about the axis of rotation,
- wherein the workpiece holder receiving body serves as a workpiece receiving arrangement during grinding machining of at least one of the functional elements, wherein the receiving body comprises a receiving formation that is of a complimentary form to the annular conical recess of the collar of the gearwheel and which is engageable onto the annular conical recess of the collar.
