Lifting Machinery

Winch drums often have a “Blind Hole” design with very little clearance at the bottom. Gear Shaping requires a large overrun (clearance) for the cutter stroke. Power Skiving (specifically with our P-Series ) requires much less clearance (often < 5mm) and is 3-5 times faster than shaping, making it the ideal process for compact integrated drums.

It comes down to Material Reliability . Winch drums are often cast steel, which can contain hidden sand or hard spots. If a solid carbide tool hits a hard spot, it shatters. P-Series PM-HSS is much tougher; it can survive hitting a hard spot with only minor wear, saving you from scrapping an expensive tool and the workpiece.

Nobeve specializes in small-module gear cutting tools; specifically, we can manufacture hobs up to Module 5 and gear shaping cutters up to Module

We recommend using a hob with a positive rake angle to resolve this issue.

Yes, that is possible; however, we must remind you that dry cutting will invariably have an impact on the lifespan of the tool.

We recommend our N-Series (15%Co) .It is flexible and forgiving. It can handle the runout and vibration of older machines without chipping, making it the safest choice for maintenance workshops.

P-Series works best on materials up to HRC 35 (typically normalized or annealed cast steel) because itself with HRC67-69. If you need to cut pre-hardened materials (HRC 38-45), tool life will decrease, and coating selection becomes critical. For anything harder, we would need to review the specific application.or repair shops with older equipment, our N – Series (High-Speed Steel) is the “forgiving” choice—it bends slightly under vibration instead of breaking, ensuring you get the job done.

Safety is paramount. We grind our K-Series and P-Series tools to DIN Class A or AA tolerances. We also perform a profile simulation to ensure the root fillet shape is correct, reducing stress concentration—a critical factor for preventing tooth breakage under heavy lifting loads.
