The invention relates to a precise forming method of a straight /
helical tooth cylindrical gear. The precise forming method disclosed by the invention is characterized by being realized by the following two steps while a '
diameter-increasing half long
ridge-
tooth space splitting' way is adopted: firstly, closed die
forging is carried out on cylindrical blank to form a pre-formed part, wherein one end of the pre-formed part is larger in radial dimension, sectional area and edge axial dimension and the other end of the pre-formed part is equal to the required value of the sectional area and has slightly smaller radial dimension, the two ends transit in a bevel angle manner, and a cylindrical surface is in a '
diameter-increasing half long
ridge' state; and secondly, the pre-formed parts penetrate through a final forming die each
tooth space of which is correspondingly provided with a splitting wedge in a sequence from big end to small end, wherein a splitting edge and a working surface of the splitting wedge are in a tilted state, a rim is split, extruded and deforms, and each slot base is deepened and the top of each
ridge is lifted, thus a
gear tooth with complete tooth profile is obtained. The
gear tooth /
tooth space obtained by the invention is clear and full, a required
forming force is relatively small, an equipment action is simple, a structure of a die is not complex, a workpiece is easy to demould, requirement to technological conditions is low, and adaptability is wide.
