Transmission Parts


With the continuous development of automotive power systems, the processing requirements for automotive transmissions are becoming more stringent. WSS solutions and tools for gearbox components rely on the practical application and optimization of professional technical teams to provide superior machining solutions for your gearbox components.

1-1

Transmission Housing


Die-cast aluminum has low hardness and good thermal conductivity, but has a low melting point. It is easy to form built-up edge during the cutting process, which affects the dimensional accuracy and surface roughness of the machined parts. WSS PCD tools are a good solution to these problems caused by the properties of die-cast aluminum.


Face milling the housing

Face milling tool with multiple inserts can achieve good chip breaking and removal effect. 

Machining the stepped bearing bore

PCD rotary tool has sharp edges and can control the occurrence of adherents such as built-up edge to a minimum. 

Tap drilling the housing

PCD thread milling tool ensures the high quality of the thread and high dimension accuracy. 

Reaming the housing

PCD reamer has good cutting performance and can significantly improve the processing efficiency.

Transmission Output/Input Shaft


The shaft parts play the role of transmitting power in the operation of the gearbox. They come in many different shapes and forms and need to avoid vibration during machining. WSS CBN grooving and turning inserts can meet the high dimensional tolerance requirements of shaft parts and save you processing costs.


External grooving

CBN grooving insert has stabile cutting performance and can extend the tool life, therefore reduce the processing costs

External turning

CBN turning insert processing output/input shaft excircle can meet strict surface finish requirements

Splining the groove

CBN grooving insert splining groove can achieve strict dimensional accuracy and better guarantee processing quality
