The running of many machines and production of a variety of gears would be impossible without roller bearings. Roller bearings have a ring-shaped design that facilitates rolling movements and reduces friction. Although this may sound simple, their production requires extreme precision in the micrometer range – a task perfect for Interprecise Donath GmbH, based near Fürth, Germany. For over 30...

Large components and complex geometries—in heavy machining, this combination is far from rare and is always synonymous with a high expenditure of time and rising costs. A primary reason for this is that the variety of machining processes required, from turning to gear cutting, are typically performed on different machines that are not completely linked with one another. Additionally, the variety...

VL 1 TWIN from EMAG: Drastically Lower Unit Cost for Bevel Gears
Bevel gears found in passenger vehicles are mass-produced. Supply companies produce these gears, essential for differentials, by the million—and it’s no wonder, since there are four of these in every differential. The number of all-wheel-drive vehicles, which include two differentials each, is continuing to rise leading to an increase in bevel gear output volume, and bringing more attention to the...
