Gear grinding is the process of finish grinding gear teeth, often hardened to give a fine finish and high accuracy. The gear is typically machined with a grinding allowance before being heat treated (usually case hardened). After heat treatment the gear teeth are precision ground to the final dimensions, imparting a fine surface finish and precision sizing.
Precision gear grinding is carried out using specialised gear grinding equipment. The process is usually carried out using a CNC gear grinder. Ground gears can be almost any size from small micro-gears right up to large, heavy power transmission gears for the mining or power generation industries.
