Estimating Time Required for Hobbing Gears X - The distance hob must feed from time it starts cutting until it reaches full cutting depth. N - Number of teeth in gear. Y - Length of face of gear or gears. L - Number of threads in hob. S - Revolutions per minute of hob. F - Feed per revolution of gear blank. A - Total depth of cut. D - Diameter of hob. FORMULA (1) Time = N (Y + X) / (S x F x L) So formula may be written: (2) X = √A (D — A) Time = N (Y + √A (D — A)) / (S x F x L) EXAMPLE GEAR: 10 D.P. 30 Tooth .2157 Whole Depth Face Width 1.5'' HOB: 3'' Dia. Double Thd. 90 R.P.M. .050'' Feed Time = N (Y + √A (D - A)) / (S x F x L) Time = 30 (1.5 + √.2157 (3 - .2157)) / (90 x .050 x 2) Time = 7.58 Fig. 19 CUTTING SPEEDS FEET PER MINUTE REVOLUTIONS PER MINUTE Diam.
