Gearbox shafts
There are a number of different shafts in a gearbox – sun shaft, planetary shaft, hollow shaft, plus low and high speed shaft. What they all have in common is that they are steel components with high strength and hardness. Sizes range from 0.25 to 1.3 metres long with diameters ranging from 80-500 mm.

hard part turning
With the large cost reductions and increased productivity benefits provided by in hardened steel component surfaces, we have developed a range of grades in super hard cutting materials which make hard part turning a viable manufacturing process for you.
3. Turning Roughing
The T-MAX® P concept geometries are carefully designed for perfect chip breaking. Metal removal at high feed and in dry conditions is made possible with state-of-the-art grades for your application.
