Power Skiving with Kashifuji KPS30 Achieving ISO 5 Internal Gears Through Skiving and Grinding
Blog 2026-05-09 195
Power skiving hits ISO 6 on internal gears straight off the machine. For stable ISO 5 — robot joints, EV drivetrains, precision planetary gearboxes — skiving alone falls short. This article covers the full chain: KPS30 skiving performance, why heat treatment demands grinding, and how to decide if you need it.
Why Heat Treatment Selection Is More Complex Than You Think: Carbonitriding, Carburizing, Nitriding, or Induction Hardening?
Blog 2026-04-29 289
Carbonitriding, carburizing, nitriding, or induction hardening — the right choice depends on your gear's performance requirements, precision grade, and steel specification. Here's how we decide.
Chinese Gear Steel Grades Explained – S45C, 40Cr, 42CrMo, and 20CrMnTi Selection
Blog 2026-04-25 290
When a Chinese supplier quotes 20CrMnTi against your 8620 spec, or 42CrMo against your 4140 — do you know if the substitution is safe? This article covers S45C, 40Cr, 42CrMo, and 20CrMnTi: international equivalents, heat treatment, module-based selection, and cost.
