METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR FORGING BEVEL GEARS

摘要

Helical or spiral bevel gears are forged from powdered material in a mold having a stationary die in which a cavity is provided with an interior gear configuration conforming to the desired gear blank to be forged. An ejector rod is movably mounted within the stationary die along its central axis and is provided with means which cause its stroke to have an axial and rotary movement corresponding to the pitch of the teeth on the gear. The front edge of the ejector rod is provided with means forming a key-lock arrangement with the gear blank, thereby simultaneously rotating the gear out of the die on its ejection stroke.
