Automotive transmission parts processing

The gearbox is responsible for transferring force, rotational motion and torque from the internal combustion engine or motor all the way to the wheels. It is a key part of all vehicles because of its ability to move the vehicle in an energy-efficient manner.

Tesa Precision solutions and tools for transmission parts are backed by in-depth application expertise. With a dedicated engineering team that supports the automotive industry with a wide range of quality solutions, we also have a presence on the international market. Here we will share selected high-productivity solutions for some of the challenging features in the production of transmission parts.

AXIS

These parts come in many different shapes and forms, and their main use is to transmit power.

Shaft parts come in many different shapes and forms, and their main use is to transmit power.

Slender shafts require rigid clamping systems and light cutting tools to avoid vibration. For gears, careful preparation at the hardening stage is critical to success.

The hardening process is preceded by soft turning and gear milling, where the challenge is often to achieve tight dimensional tolerances. Careful preparation at the hardening stage enables relatively straightforward turning of hard parts. In the turning of hard parts, predictable machining and good surface quality are essential. In addition to all this, high economy must be ensured.

Gear wheel

Gears also come in many different shapes and forms, and they are used to convert vehicle power into different speeds and torques.

Shift sleeve

The shift sleeve is one of the parts of the synchronizer assembly used in manual transmissions to connect the main gear to the output shaft/disconnect the main gear from the output shaft.

The shift sleeve is one of the parts of the synchronizer assembly. In manual transmissions, it is used to connect the main gear to the output shaft/disconnect the main gear from the output shaft.

The main challenge in machining shift sleeves is often to obtain good machining safety to achieve high productivity and tight tolerances. Grooving is a critical and challenging operation that requires a safe and efficient process and superior chip control. In the turning of hard parts, predictable machining and good surface quality are essential. In addition to all this, high economy must be ensured.
