Tooling solutions for machining of shift sleeves
The shift sleeve is one of the components in the synchronizer assembly. It connects/disconnects the main gears to the output shaft in a manual gearbox.
The main challenge in machining shift sleeves is usually to obtain good process security to allow for high productivity and tight tolerances. Grooving is a vital and challenging operation that requires a secure and productive machining process with excellent chip control. In hard part turning, predictable machining and good surface finishing is essential. All this goes together with cost-effectiveness.
Besides our extensive standard offer, Sandvik Coromant also have dedicated products and engineered solutions that fully support overtaking the challenges manufacturing these components presents.
Tooling solutions that support the manufacturing of shift sleeves:
CoroCut® 1-2 ensures a truly secure and efficient grooving operation
The rail insert seat ensures stable and precise insert position.
ISO P offer – turning inserts and grades for steel
Whether you are looking for turning insert grades for unmanned production or custom-made components, we have reliable insert grades that offer predictable tool life, high machine utilization and the surface quality you need.
CoroTurn® Prime – all-directional turning
Double the speed and feed rates compared to conventional turning, and with longer tool life.
CoroTurn® 300 – effective and high-quality turning
High precision coolant from above controls the chip breaking for secure machining, while under coolant controls the temperature for long and predictable tool life. Eight- edged inserts
ISO H offer – turning inserts and grades for hardened steel
Turning hardened steel calls for super-hard insert grades. Whatever your component or requirements for surface finish are, you will find productive insert grades here that can withstand high temperatures and cutting forces and still retain their cutting edges.
