A wheel bearing device (1) including: an outer member (2) on the inner periphery of which an outer-side rolling surface (2c/2d) is formed; an inner member (3) on the outer periphery of which an inner-side rolling surface (3c/3d) is formed; and a plurality of rolling bodies (41) interposed between the rolling surfaces (2c/2d/3c/3d) of the outer member (2) and the inner member (3). The wheel bearing device having a spline hole (3b) formed in a through hole (3h) of the inner member (3). The spline hole includes a guide groove (3G) formed on an inner circumferential surface thereof. A guide plate (8G) of a finishing broach (8) passes through the guide groove in the inner periphery of the spline hole (3b).

The present disclosure provides a clipping tool for clipping flash from a component e.g. a gas turbine aerofoil body. The clipping tool includes a riser having a support surface for supporting the component and a punch for gripping the component on the support surface such that the flash projects laterally from the riser and the punch. The clipping tool further comprises a tool body having a clipping aperture opening to a channel within the tool body. The channel is defined by a channel wall. The riser and the punch are translatable to shear the projecting flash from the gripped component. At least a portion of the channel wall within the tool body comprises a broaching surface having at least one projection, said projection reducing the cross sectional area of the channel to less than that of the clipping aperture.

The present invention is directed to a method for producing a rotating disk for a turbomachine, forming blade root uptakes on a plurality of circumferential positions, for which, in each case, an axially extending profile groove that is bounded circumferentially by inner wall surfaces of the rotating disk is introduced on a respective circumferential position, in which production method, initially first profile grooves are introduced in a disk on first circumferential positions, and subsequently, a second profile groove is introduced in the disk on a second circumferential position located circumferentially between the first profile grooves.

A broaching tool includes at least one cutting zone with a cutting face that contacts a workpiece to remove material from the workpiece. At least one cavity corresponds to the cutting zone and is arranged to receive the removed material. A plurality of lubrication channels are supplied with lubricant, each lubrication channel having an inlet opening arranged to receive the lubricant and at least one outlet opening which opens into the cavity. The distance between he outlet openings of two consecutive lubrication channels varies further from the cutting face.

A broaching machine may include a broaching tool and a moving mechanism. The broaching tool may be movably arranged in a spindle of a lathe in a horizontal direction to machine a workpiece fixed to a chucking mechanism of the lathe. The moving mechanism may move the broaching tool in the horizontal direction. Thus, a process for forming a hole through the workpiece using the lathe and a process for machining the inner surface of the hole using the broaching machine may be continuously performed so that a time for machining the workpiece may be remarkably reduced. Further, the process for forming the hole through the workpiece using the lathe and the process for machining the inner surface of the hole using the broaching machine may be continuously performed on the workpiece fixed to the chucking mechanism to suppress dimension failures of the workpiece.

An internal helical broaching tool has a pre-broaching tool portion extending in one broaching direction and a subsequent precise sizing tool portion. The latter, as a whole, is made of a hard metal with a density of greater than 10 g/cm3. This results in an internal helical broaching tool with increased service life at a defined machining performance.
