Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The utility model relates to a press-fitting tool and a use method thereof, in particular to a gear-rolling end-drive tool with pre-centering and anti-dropping functions and a use method thereof. Background Art
[0002] When performing the process of shaft gear hobbing, the operator usually uses the end drive tooling to cooperate with the upper and lower positioning method of the two ends of the shaft gear for processing. When the operator places the part to be processed on the end drive tooling, the part first contacts the floating center of the end drive tooling, and when the tail top is pressed down, the lower end surface of the part contacts the end drive tooth. Therefore, for some parts with special structures to be processed (for example, a part with a slender shaft at one end and a tooth at the other end, usually a sun gear), the existing floating center cannot meet the operator's requirements for aligning the upper and lower positioning holes of the part to be processed and keeping the part balanced and not falling when placing the part to be processed on the end drive tooling.
