Broaching & Keyseating
Broaching and keyseating are methods used to create the keyways inside of a gear. By offering both gear manufacturing operations, we are able to select the best method for an individual production run. For example, Hydraulic pull style broaching is best used for short production runs.
Buffalo Gear has many standard keyway broaches in stock. Internal splines, hex, square and various irregular shapes can be produced with broaching. We also offer keyseating for larger keyways.
Advantages of Broaching & Keyseating:
High Speed Broaching is cost effective
Accurate repetitive size control
Most economical way to produce irregular shapes in production runs
Standard tooling is readily available
