The ball cage, also known as the constant velocity universal joint, is one of the key components in the automobile transmission system.
Its main function is to transfer the power of the engine from the transmission to the wheels to ensure that the car can travel at high speed.
Therefore, the performance of the ball cage not only directly affects the steering of the car, but also the stability and safety of the vehicle's driving. Therefore, high-precision tools must be used to strictly control the processing quality of the ball cage.
Components of the ball cage
The ball cage is usually composed of the following main components:
- Bell housing (outer star wheel)
- Star sleeve (inner star wheel)
- Cage
- Steel ball
Among them, the cage plays a vital role in the ball cage structure. Recently, we received an inquiry from a customer from India whether we can provide a processing solution for the cage.
Challenges in cage processing
The cage is usually made of 20CrMnTi material, and the hardness after heat treatment can reach HRC58-62, and the surface roughness is required to reach Ra1.6.
Due to the intermittent cutting of the cage during machining, the cutting edge of the tool is easy to wear, and the tolerance control during the machining process is also quite strict.
In order to solve these problems, we recommend using Moresuperhard's CBN ball end milling cutter.
Advantages of Moresuperhard's CBN ball end milling cutter
Moresuperhard's CBN ball end milling cutter reduces the machining process by replacing grinding with milling, and can be formed in one go, greatly improving the machining efficiency.
The milling cutter uses high-purity CBN to make the cutting edge, has stable cutting performance, and has good wear resistance and impact resistance.
Using Moresuperhard's CBN ball end milling cutter can not only achieve high-speed milling, but also extend the service life of the tool while ensuring high precision and high finish.
We are committed to providing customers with high-quality raw materials, stable production quality, long-life tools, and professional technical support to ensure that customers get the best processing solutions.
