Frequently Asked Questions

What is a "dial feed" or hydraulic feed hobbing machine?

FAQ about gear cutting, gear software and gear design
Some differential hobbing machines do not use feed change gears. These machines use a hydraulic control to advance the cutter through the workpiece. A "dial" is used by the operator to control the amount of feed per revolution of the workpiece.

What is the feed constant for my hobbing machine?

FAQ about gear cutting, gear software and gear design
Feed formulas are found in the machine's manual or on the machine itself. Table Feed as discussed here is the cutter table feed in a direction parallel to the workpiece centerline. It should not be confused with infeed or tangential feed. While some hobbing machines may be equipped with infeed or tangential feed, all hobbing machines are equipped with Table Feed. Some hobbing machines mark the machine with a whole number indicating feed (let's call it K).

Is the Hobbing Machine Type A?

FAQ about gear cutting, gear software and gear design
If the gear faces are parallel, the Helix Angle is the same for both gears. This means the machine is Type A. Just for information, the gear lead in this case is different for both gears but the helix angles are the same.)

How can I find the differential formula for my hobbing machine?

FAQ about gear cutting, gear software and gear design
There are sources listed in FAQ "Manuals for my Gear Cutting Machinery" that may have the operator's manual you need. Also, the Gear Forum is a good place to ask for this kind of help. If you can't find a source for the differential formula then you can determine the formula for yourself using the following procedure, but you must have a way to measure a gear's lead.

What are typical machine constants for hobbing machines and what are they for?

FAQ about gear cutting, gear software and gear design
All hobbing machines use an Index Constant that synchronizes rotation of the workpiece with the cutter. For example, a 30:1 index constant means that the index change gear ratio is equal to 30/Teeth for a single start cutter cutting a spur gear. With the correct index change gears, a single start cutter will rotate a number of revolutions equal to the teeth on the workpiece while the workpiece makes one complete revolution.

How is a non-differential hobbing machine set up to cut a spur gear?

FAQ about gear cutting, gear software and gear design
All gear hobbing machines have an Index Constant. This constant, along with the number of teeth to cut and the number of starts in the hob cutter determine the index gear ratio and the index change gears. Some typical Index Constants are: 36, 30, 24, 15, 12, 10, etc. Let's take an example using a single start hob cutter.

How does a non-differential hobbing machine cut helical gears?

FAQ about gear cutting, gear software and gear design
The concept is simple. Let's say the gear to cut is 100 teeth. If it were to be a spur gear (helix angle = 0) then the index gear ratio would be Index Constant divided by teeth. For an index constant = 30, the gear ratio should be 30/100 as shown in the prior topic. Using 30/100 would synchronize the hob to the workpiece so that when the workpiece completes each revolution, the hob would be meshed precisely in the same tooth.

How do you use CPC-HOB to set up a hobbing machine with tangential hob shift?

FAQ about gear cutting, gear software and gear design
If manual or automatic "step" shifting is used, the normal setup is unaffected. Shifting of the hob in this case occurs during the non-cutting part of the work cycle. If continuous tangential hob shift is used, then an adjustment must be made in the lead change gear ratio. In other words, a spur gear could not be cut without a differential action equal and opposite to the continuous hob shift.

What is hydraulic lime mortar?

Frequently Asked Questions about Historic Masonry
Hydraulic lime mortar is a lime mortar that hardens in damp or even wet conditions through a chemical reaction rather than exposure to air. (This is in contrast to standard, or non-hydraulic lime mortars, which harden by absorbing carbon dioxide, a process known as carbonation.) Hydraulic qualities are created when clay is included in the lime mixture.

If I dial a number and I get an answering machine and I don't leave a message, do I get charged?

VIP Communications
Yes. If the called party answers the call, even if it is answered by an answering machine, the call is considered connected and you will be charged at our published rate per minute (or part thereof) of connection time.

What is hydraulic gradient?

FAQ-general
Mathematically, the difference in in hydraulic head/pressure per unit distance in a given direction is termed as hydraulic gradient. In more explanatory terms it is the driving force of fluid flow in a porous medium.

How much do I need to feed?

Frequently Asked Questions
Use the Feeding Guidelines on the back of the bag for correct amounts of pet food mix, meat and water to use. Measurements are based on one meal per day. If you have a puppy or a kitten, or just prefer to feed twice per day, then cut the guideline amounts in half to create two meals instead of one. And remember, the amounts and instructions are guidelines only. Every animal is different so you may need to adjust for individual needs.

And what is an XML feed?

Blogtimore, Hon › Frequently Asked Questions
XML feed is a means by which you syndicate your content, or make it available to other sites or in newsreaders like NetNewsWire, SharpReader, Straw or BlogLines. Blogtimore, Hon works the same way—except instead of finding and adding the feeds yourself, we do the work for you. Some common types of XML feeds are Atom, RSS, and RSS 2.0.

How much do I feed my puppy?

BARF Diet - Frequently Asked Questions - Pet Diet, Raw Food ...
BARF World recommends feeding puppies up to 10 % of their body weight. Therefore, if your pup weighs 10 lbs you should feed 1 lb of food divided between 3 or 4 feedings per day. Growing puppies, especially the large breeds, should be kept lean so adjustments to feeding amounts will have to be monitored closely.
