Broaching/Keyseating:
Broaching and keyseating are used in
creating the keyways inside of a gear. By offering both operations, we are able
to select the best method for an individual production run.
Hydraulic pull style broaching is used
for short runs and production. Classic Gears and Sprockets has many standard keyway broaches in
stock. Internal splines: hex, square and various irregular shapes can be
produced with this method. Keyseating for larger keyways is also
available.
Advantages of Broaching and
Keyseating:
- High Speed Broaching is cost
effective
- Accurate repetitive size
control
- Most economical way to produce
irregular shapes in production runs
- Standard tooling is readily
available
