Honing Medical Parts at SSP In these strange times we must evaluate all the things we do and marketing is one of the areas we have been looking at, (hence this first video blog). Currently we are producing urgent medical parts – honing them to very fine tolerances, on a used Pemamo honing machine we […]
Spline shafts so that the connection fits
Splined shaft connections as per DIN 5464 and 5480 are used extensively in modern mechanical engineering, and they are used to transfer high torque with or without length compensation. Normally, spline profiles are milled with a hob cutter or form milling. Nevertheless, if a very high level of precision is required, then splined […]
