Abstract
A skiving cutter device for use in cutting an internal spur gear having rough and finish skiving cutters with cutter blades mounted in vertical arrangement on a spindle and spacers adapted to compensate respective distances between the cutters and a reference plane on the spindle. Respective cutter blades of the cutters are located in the same phase and each tooth profile thereof is designed such that the contacting point between each cutter blade of the cutters and each gear tooth of an internal spur gear to be obtained is located within a contacting or acting rejion therebetween. The device is further provided with spiral key ways respectively formed in the cutters and pin keys set up on the spindle and engaged with the key ways, respectively.
Claims2
A skiving cutter device for use in cutting an internal spur gear comprising a spindle mounted on a cutter head, finish and rough skiving cutters having thereon cutter blades, each formed in a gear tooth, and mounted in vertical alignment on the spindle of said device and spacers adapted to compensate respective distances between said cutters and a reference plane on said spindle, wherein respective cutter blades of said cutters are located in the same phase and each cutter blade profile of said cutters is designed such that the contacting point between the respective cutter blades and each gear tooth formed on a workpiece to be cut is located within a contacting or acting region encompassed by respective interference lines at the root and bottom of the tooth formed on said workpiece to be cut and an interference line at the addendum of each cutter blade of said cutters, a key way located at least partially longitudinally of said spindle, wherein the cutters are adapted to operate upon said workpiece while mounted upon a receiving means and the longitudinal axis of said receiving means is offset from that of the spindle.
