Klingelnberg C 30

The Klingelnberg C 30 is a bevel gear cutting machine for workpieces up to Ø 280 mm, with a normal module range of 1.5 – 6.5 mm and a maximum tooth width of 58 mm. One table covers both cutting methods: continuous indexing with cutter heads of 39 – 105 mm and 5 – 19 blade groups, and single indexing with cutter heads of 3.25" – 7.5".

Spindle speed is what separates it from its larger relative. The cutter head spindle and the workpiece spindle each run to 1,500 rpm, against 450 rpm on both spindles of the C 50. Small cutter heads need high rotational speed to reach a workable cutting speed, and a 39 mm head is small, so the fast spindles and the small-module range belong together. Geometry limits are wide for the size: spiral angles from 0° to 60°, 6 to 180 teeth and gear ratios from 1:1 to 1:10, which puts zero-spiral-angle designs and high-ratio sets inside the stated range.

Check the tooling interfaces before ordering arbors or moving work from another machine. The cutter head spindle has a Ø 58.227 mm seat, a Gleason outer cone No. 14 with a 1:24 taper. The workpiece spindle offers an Oerlikon outer cone of Ø 140.11 mm (1:4) and an Oerlikon inner cone No. 39 of Ø 99.258 mm, and its Ø 93 mm opening caps the shank diameter that can pass through.

For installation, Klingelnberg lists a total connected load of 40 kVA without the filter system, a weight of approx. 20,000 kg and outside dimensions of approx. 4,500 x 3,410 x 2,900 mm. The filter system adds to the electrical load and needs its own place in the layout.
