Method For Forging A Spindle Housing

US Patent:
8151435, Apr 10, 2012
Filed:
Jan 22, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/357778
Inventors:
Ronald E. Brunner - Sundance WY, US
Assignee:
Brunner Manufacturing Co., Inc. - Mauston WI
International Classification:
B23P 13/04
US Classification:
29557, 56255
Abstract:
A manufacturing method includes shearing or cutting an elongated rod blank from bar stock, forge-forming a through hole in the rod blank that extends longitudinally through opposing ends of the rod blank, forge-forming a radially-extending collar on the rod blank between the opposing ends, forming attachment holes in the radially-extending collar, and extruding bearing bores in each of the recesses to form a main spindle housing. Bearings are supported in forged recesses at each end, and a shaft is rotatably supported on the bearings. The spindle housing includes a rod portion and collar both forged from the rod blank for work-hardened strength of material, and includes attachment holes and the through hole formed by pressing out slugs of material, thus facilitating recycling of scrap.
