Details
The aim of the CompactGears4Turbo project is to develop an innovative process chain for manufacturing compact lightweight gears for aerospace transmissions by means of 5-axis milling and grinding. By adopting the established 5-axis milling technology, unused technologically surfaces will be reduced, thus making planetary gears significantly smaller and lighter. Preliminary studies show that weight reduction of 20% is possible.
