PM Review Winter 2015

Let’s gear up together A robust helical PM gear compaction solution with 17% gear weight reduction in comparison to the wrought steel gear. This is one of our latest achievements at the Höganäs PoP Centre. Here, we are combining our latest metal powders and lubricant innovations with state-of-the-art multilevel press and helical gear tooling capability. We have used a novel design-for-PM approach to develop, prototype and test drive all gears in a design optimized popular European 6-speed passenger car transmission. The result: smart PM gear designs can help OEMs reduce weight and inertia in their transmissions. Additional advantages include cost saving opportunities through a shortened gear manufacturing process chain and lowered investment costs when setting up a new gearbox plant.
