Abstract
A half toroidal CVT disk having an inner surface portion, an outer surface portion and a toroidal surface having a given machining allowance is centered with said inner surface portion worked prior to the heat treatment of said half toroidal CVT disk as the standard thereof, and then is chucked by a chuck mechanism. The toroidal surface of the chucked half toroidal CVT disk is ground by a grinding mechanism with the grinding wheel for grinding the half toroidal CVT disk in a state that one of said half toroidal CVT disk and said tool is inclined at a given angle with respect to the other.
Claims4
A method of grinding a half toroidal CVT disk by a grinding mechanism with a tool for grinding said half toroidal CVT disk, the half toroidal CVT disk having an inner surface portion, an outer surface portion and a toroidal surface having a given machining allowance, said method comprising the steps of:
- centering said half toroidal CVT disk with a first part of said inner surface portion worked prior to a heat treatment of said half toroidal CVT disk as the standard thereof;
- chucking said centered half toroidal CVT disk by a chuck mechanism;
- grinding said toroidal surface of said chucked half toroidal CVT disk in a state that one of said half toroidal CVT disk and said tool is inclined at a given angle with respect to the other;
- and
- grinding a second part of said inner surface portion simultaneously with said toroidal surface in a compound manner.
A method of grinding a half toroidal CVT disk by a grinding mechanism with a tool for grinding said half toroidal CVT disk, said half toroidal CVT disk having an inner surface portion, an outer surface portion and a toroidal surface having a given machining allowance, said method comprising the steps of:
- hard-broaching said inner surface portion after a heat treatment of said half toroidal CVT disk;
- centering said half toroidal CVT disk with said hard broached inner surface portion as the standard thereof;
- chucking said centered half toroidal CVT disk by a chuck mechanism;
- and
- grinding said toroidal surface of said chucked half toroidal CVT disk in a state that one of said half toroidal CVT disk and said tool is inclined at a given angle with respect to the other.
