Gear Grinding Machinery Market

Gear Grinding Machinery Market: Introduction

Gear grinders are finishing machines that use a grinding wheel rotating at high speed to grind the surface of the gear (workpiece) teeth. Continuous generation grinding uses a tool (grinding worm) with a different profile than the gear teeth and performs grinding by moving the workpiece and grinding worm relative to one another. Continuous generation grinding uses a grinding worm with multiple threads, and machining productivity can be increased by increasing the number of threads. Profile grinding, on the other hand, grinds the workpiece using a tool with the same profile as the gear teeth. Continuous generation grinders are used at automotive and other mass production facilities.

Key Drivers of the gear grinding machinery market

Major drivers of the global gear grinding machinery market include increase in number of manufacturers across multiple industry verticals and penetration of advanced, user-friendly machines that improve productivity across the globe. Additionally, rising influence of the machine in manufacturing operations to improve productivity and its ability to reduce manufacturing cost are expected to propel the market during the forecast period. Development of new and innovative products, targeting new manufacturers, and penetration of products through e-commerce business are expected to create lucrative opportunities for the global gear grinding machinery market.

Innovative gearless planetary drives creating opportunities in the gear grinding machinery market

Usage of innovative technology such as gearless planetary drives creates new opportunities in the gear grinding machinery market. The technology is used for acoustic sensing for alignment of dressing diamonds, and LNS low noise shifting, a feature that produces a random surface structure on the teeth to prevent excitation. Convenient location for the setup of the dressing unit, ergonomic ease of wheel change, and almost unlimited restriction of the gear location on the shaft or arbor allows the machinery to provide maximum machine uptime.

Health hazards act as restraints for the gear grinding machinery market

Highly dangerous silica dust can be given off from the wheels of the gear grinding machine while grinding materials such as sand casting. This dust is dangerous for human health. Certain resin-bonded wheels may contain fillers which create dangerous dust. In addition, formaldehyde-based resins can emit formaldehyde during grinding. Thus, dust, abrasives, grains, and splinters are common hazards to the eyes in all dry-grinding operations. These factors restrict the growth of the gear grinding machinery market.

MEA the dominant market

South Africa, Saudi Arabia, and UAE are the dominant markets for gear grinding machinery. Gear grinding is generally perceived to be the most perfect way to end a high precision gear, giving a more accurate tooth finish than gear cutting. These benefits and increased awareness of gear grinding machinery is creating more demand for the product in the market.
