ABSTRACT: Spur gears are the simplest type of the gear. completion period of the machining exercise, which Spur gears have teeth parallel to the axis of the wheel. Spur indirectly also determines the cost of producing the gears. In gears are the most commonly used for the transmission of cutting of the gear, most important is that machinability. power. The most common method of cutting the spur gears Machinability is defined that to cut the material how easily on milling machine is by form cutting. This is done by on a machine to get the desired shape with respect to tooling. taking a blank gear and rotating a cutter, with the desired tooth pattern, around its periphery. This ensures that the gear will fit when the operation is finished. While cutting the spur gears using the milling machine, the analysis of spur gear is very important. While analysis various parameter like pressure angle, cutting speed, feed rate, production time, tooth form, size of the teeth, pitch circle diameter, depth of cut and outside diameter. All the aspects are being calculated which is important while making the spur gears. Spur gears are cutting on milling machine utilized the various tooth cutters. The no of tooth cutters can be determined by the tooth count of the gear to be cut and also analysis the stress concentration in the spur gear while cutting. Figure 1 Spur Gear Keywords: Spur gear, milling machine, cutting tool, cutting Form milling is the process of machining special profile speed composed of curved and straight lines. It is done with milling cutter shaped to the profile to be cut. I. INTRODUCTION Gears are used for a wide range of industrial application. II. METHOD FOR GEAR CUTTING Gears used in aviation industries, textile looms, automobile, Gear cutting on a milling machine, the gear blank is mounted industrial machine, geared motors, agricultural machinery on a mandrel which is supported between the center of the etc. To meet the service conditions the geared should have dividing head and one more center at the other end. one tooth robust construction, reliable performance, high efficiency, space is cut by the milling cutter and a dividing head economy and long life. The gear should be fatigue free and /indexing head is used to index the job to the next required free from all stresses to avoid their failures. The gears should tooth space. The cutter is chosen according to the module (or be free from noise, chatter and should ensure high load DP) and number of teeth of the gear to the cut. This cutter is varying capacity at constant velocity ratio. Spur gears are the mounted on the milling arbor. Before the gear can be cut, it mostly used in all type of gear. It is used for the transmitting is necessary to have the cutter centered accurately relative to of power between two parallel shafts. In this type of gear, the the gear holding mandrel. One way is to adjust the machine teeth cut on the cylindrical face are parallel to the axis of the table vertically and horizontally until one corner of the cutter gear. In milling, a multi-toothed cutter, rotating at a fixed just touches the mandrel on one side. Both the dials are then position on the machine, shapes the work as it is traversed set to zero. The table is then adjusted for the cutter to just across the cutter. The work is firmly secured on the machine touch on the other side of the mandrel with vertical dial table which can be adjusted to set the depth of cut and can be showing zero. The reading of the horizontal feed screw is moves directions in the horizontal plane. In some machines, a read. This reading divided by two gives the central position vertical transverse also is possible manufacture of metallic of the mandrel relative to the cutter. When the table is set components using conventional machine tools, cutter tool centrally in this manner it should be locked in that position. wear, its effects on surface finish, and cutter tool failure The table is then fed vertically so that the blank just touches provide major limitations to the achievement of economic the cutter. The vertical dial is then set to zero. This is production.Form-milling the tooth of involute spur gear required to give the depth of cut on the job.With these involves specification of the cutting speed for the work piece settings the machine can be started and traversed along the material and feed rate of the milling cutter. The speed and axis of the job to cut the tooth over the whole width of the feed rate selection for such cutting has a strong link with the gear.

The major role of the dividing plate is to key the dividing circle. The plate contains no of rings of holes. This means that one turn of the handle can be divided into the number of holes in the particular ring. Dividing plate having no of holes on the half of plate drilled on one side and other side to be drilled.The dividing plate is fitted properly all of the “zero” holes will be in line and will be vertically above the shaft of the handle. Usually, next to each of the zero holes, is stamped the number of holes in the ring Figure 2: Milling Machine III. PROCEDURE OF GEAR CUTTING While cutting the gear on a milling machine, it is important to know how to make the spur gear. One of the most common ways of making spur gears is by using a dividing head on a milling machine. The dividing head makes it possible to cut a gear with almost any number of teeth. It is possible to use either a horizontal milling machine or a vertical milling machine. Work piece to be held in dividing head. A. DIVIDING HEAD Figure 4: Indexing Plate The dividing head is essentially a horizontal shaft with a worm wheel on it that can be driven round by means of a C. Holding the work piece: worm. The shaft has various means of holding a work piece. Work piece can be held in a chuck using with the help of This may seem very similar to a rotary table. It is different in dividing head. Whereas on a lathe if a chuck holds the that there is no table to mount the work piece on. It is workpiece slightly off center it is often still possible to turn possible to mount a center in the shaft or mount a chuck onto all the required surfaces so they are concentric to each other. it. Usually dividing heads are supplied with a tailstock. This This is not relevant when milling. If the workpiece has to be is essential when using a center with the dividing head. It can aligned accurately then it either has to be held between also be very useful for supporting the workpiece when using centers or centered accurately using a four-jaw chuck. Most the chuck. On all dividing heads the worm is turned by home machinists do not have horizontal milling machines means of a handle. Each turn of the handle can be divided by but have a vertical one. In this case the gear cutter is held on means of a dividing plate that contains a number of rings a stub arbor held in the vertical spindle’s socket. In this case, each with a different number of holes in it. The handle has a the cutter cuts into the workpiece in the middle of the front pin that can be moved to fit the holes in any one of the rings side. The cutters for gear cutting are designed for use on a of holes. Dividing heads are designed to divide the circle. horizontal arbor. If a vertical milling machine is being used They are not designed to turn by so many degrees though this then the same cutter is used but it is mounted on a stub arbor. can be done. This is then fitted to the vertical head. High speed cutter cut the material and makes the teeth on the material and soluble oil use for the Cooling of cutter and removes the dissipated heat. IV. CUTTER OF CUTTING SPUR GEAR A cutter that was made for a tooth size would make any gear with that size tooth. But, unfortunately, for any given size of tooth, pressure angle etc. the shape of the tooth will vary depending upon the number of teeth on the gear being made. This means that to be able to cut a gear with any number of teeth but for a given size of tooth a set of eight cutters is required. In order to cope with this it is necessary to have a Figure 3: Dividing Head cutter for each of a range of teeth numbers.
