Method For Honing a Gear with a Beveloid Toothing

Abstract

A method for honing a gear with a beveloid toothing, including the following steps; providing an at least in sections cylindrical honing tool and a gear to be honed, wherein the honing tool has a tool axis and a toothing, and wherein the gear has a workpiece axis and a beveloid toothing, honing the gear by means of the honing tool, wherein the honing tool and the gear are arranged with an axis cross angle to one another, wherein the honing tool and the gear are spaced apart from one another by a center distance at least in sections, and wherein the toothing of the honing tool and the beveloid toothing of the gear contact each other at least temporarily in at least one contact section. In order to simplify effective honing of beveloid toothing, it is proposed that the tool axis and the workpiece axis are spaced apart with an eccentricity at least in sections.
