The automotive drive pinion is a component that receives power from the engine to drive the wheels, controls speed and torque, and supports the vehicle’s power transmission and drivability.
As part of the vehicle’s powertrain, it plays a crucial role in providing appropriate driving characteristics and is a core element of the automobile’s power transmission system.
Due to the use of low carbon steel (such as SCr420, SCM415) in automotive drive pinions, which is challenging to manage in terms of chip disposal, there are many cases where chip disposal presents issues.
Post-hardening machining is also necessary, making the use of efficient and economical CBN inserts an important point.
Tungaloy, with its proprietary technology, offers comprehensive solutions that lead to the resolution of shaft machining challenges, such as “deep hole machining,” “chip disposal improvement,” and “efficient use of CBN inserts.”
