Achieving a Toothed Gear on Presses

Abstract

This paper presents a device that, in final connection with presses, allows toothed gear (with a crown similar to a toothed wheel with right teeth) to be achieved by hot deformation starting from a cylindrical steel bar. For this, finite element simulations were performed in Forge software. The proposed device has 23 rollers, so for the simulation process, a slice representing a part (the 23rd) of a circle which simplifies the essential functionality of this device was taken into consideration.
