What gear accuracy class can you achieve on 7050 Aluminum?
Gear accuracy is specified to DIN/AGMA classes appropriate to the application. Profile and lead are controlled so 7050 Aluminum gears run accurately and quietly under load.
How clean are the edges produced by CNC Gear Grinding on 7050 Aluminum?
Machined 7050 Aluminum edges are clean and to specification; edge-break or deburring is added when your drawing calls for it.
Why is 7050 Aluminum a good choice for CNC Gear Grinding?
7050 Aluminum is lightweight with excellent machinability, which makes it well suited to CNC Gear Grinding. We tune the process to the alloy so the finished 7050 Aluminum gear cutting part meets your dimensional and functional requirements.
What material thickness or size range suits CNC Gear Grinding 7050 Aluminum?
We machine 7050 Aluminum across a broad size range; share your part envelope for confirmation.
