Types of Gear Grinding

Cylindrical Gear Grinding

- A worm gear configuration that uses a cylindrical worm to mesh with a cylindrical helical gear. Cylindrical gears offer high speed reduction ratios. There are limited for use with only light loads. Concentricity is important for cylindrical gears.

Internal Gear Grinding

- A circular gear with teeth that face inward. This process is often used to mesh with planet gears in a planetary gear grain. It is otherwise known as a ring gear.

Surface Gear Grinding

- Generally formed by use of lapping machines or polishing machines. Surface grinding is performed on outside surfaces of the gear mechanism.
