Broaching and keyseating are methods used to create the keyways inside of a gear. By offering both gear manufacturing operations at Buffalo Gear, 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.
We have 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
