NEXT-GENERATION GRINDING AND POLISHING SOLUTIONS FOR E-MOBILITY

NEXT GENERATION GRINDING & POLISHING SOLUTIONS FOR E-MOBILITY

With the electrification trend gaining momentum, the transition to electric vehicles creates new challenges for the gear industry. The gears need to cost less, generate less noise and work as efficiently as possible. As fine finishing significantly influences gears’ performance in terms of efficiency and durability, manufacturers need high-performance grinding wheels to meet the changing and ever stringent quality demands.

 

DUAL WORM WHEEL

Norton Xtrimium dual worm wheel is our new high-performance solution designed to provide stronger transmissions in trucks and quieter gear reductors in electric vehicles thanks to the extremely fine surface finish it provides. The wheel combines the vitrified section to grind and a fine-grit section to polish the gear teeth Worm  Dual  Groupshot

Norton Xtrimium range of polishing wheels: dual worm wheel, 100% resin worm wheel and baby dual worm wheel.

BENEFITS

EV – PASSENGER
CARS & LIGHT TRUCKS
  • Increased gear efficiency for longer battery life
  • Reduced gear noise
TRUCKS
  • Increased lifetime of gearbox*
*Polishing often takes place after a shot peening operation with a 100% resin wheel

E-BIKES

  • Extra low surface finish Rz< 0.5 μm
  • Reduced gear noise

NORTON XTRIMIUM DUAL WORM WHEEL ACHIEVES Rz<1μm and Rpk ~0μm

 

NEW PATENTED SOLUTION

Polishing with our patented combination of hard resin and high-performance grain allows you to achieve the required surface finish parameters (Rz, Rpk, Rvk, Rmr) faster and with no gear deformation, so there is no difference between the prototype and production phases.
