Thanks for your answer. This is a low volume operation. As mentioned before, my production costs are not the bottleneck.
A gear company will measure the internal and external spline of the hub and supply me a dxf with the spline.
So basically the only thing I need to know is the material and...
Thanks for your reaction.
The costs for machining is not a real problem. I can use an EDM wire cutter and a conventional lathe.
I was planning to do this in the following order:
-Create a DXF
-Pre-machine the new hub on lathe
-Determine original hardness. Match material hardness. Perhaps the...
Haha, o.k. They charge €350,- to create a DXF for me, don't know if this is a reasonable price.
Perhaps you can answer my other questions concerning the fabrication/ hardening of the splines.
Am I correct that I have to measure the hardness of the stub axle and match this hardness with my...
Hello,
I am trying to reverse engineer a spline of a 1980's BMW drive flange. I hope you guys can push me into the right direction. I can say i am a newbie to splines and gear engineering
Fabrication of the drive flange is my smallest concern, I have a lathe and also an EDM at my disposal...
