A method for producing a molded body of particularly steel, and including a hub and a bell-shaped lower part axially connected thereto, in which an inner contour is made in the lower part by non-cutting forming in a convex region. The inner contour includes of ball tracks and cage paths that are concave in the axial direction and arranged in a peripherally alternating manner, for receiving rolling bodies, the cage paths being shallower than the ball tracks. The hub is formed from a rotating round blank and reducing the thickness thereof using at least one pressure roller. The flat region of the round blank that radially connects to the hub is pressed onto contour segments of a rotating first inner contour tool, partially forming the inner contour using at least one axially and radially moving pressure roller to form a preform of the lower part. The fixed preform is pressed against contour segments of a second inner contour tool by a die of partial dies, fully forming the cage paths and ball tracks.

The invention relates to a vehicle wheel, in particular a hybrid vehicle wheel, composed of a wheel disc, which is fabricated from lightweight metal as a cast part, and a rim ring, which is made from steel, is connected to the wheel disc in a rotationally fixed fashion and has at least one rim horn and a drop base edge, and a method for manufacturing such a hybrid vehicle wheel. In order to be able to manufacture the hybrid vehicle wheel at low cost and to ensure sufficient force flow between the rim ring and the wheel disc, the wheel disc has, on the disc edge, a contour which is matched to the profile of the rim horn and drop base edge and extends over the distance between them and on which the rim ring bears in the mounted state of the wheel disc and rim ring while clamping the wheel disc between a first pressure zone on the drop base edge and a second pressure zone on the rim horn. Fitting is carried out by folding over or rolling over a rim ring blank onto the edge of the disc.

Thus, the present disclosure includes a method of producing a weight-optimized pneumatic tire rim having rotationally-symmetrically partially different wall thickness. The steps include: providing a tube section having a first wall thickness and two end sides; leveling the first wall thickness starting from the two end sides over a defined rotationally-symmetrical area thereby forming two flanks by precontouring, each of the flanks having a second wall thickness, and pushing tolerance-caused excess material of the flanks into a well base zone between the two flanks; and contouring the flanks by pressure rolling while drawing each of the flanks toward an end area of each of the flanks and reducing the thickness of each of the flanks partially differently to predetermined measurements. The present disclosure also includes a device to implement the method.

Method of production a tire rim having different wall thicknesses

In a method of making a rotation-symmetrical gear member, an outer edge of a circular blank is shaped to form a concentric thickened area which extends in axial direction to thereby realize a ring structure. A remaining area of the circular blank is then shaped into a cap-like structure through application of compressive forces by means of a pressure roller such that the ring structure adjoins a sidewall of the cap structure and projects outwardly in radial direction. The ring is then formed with outer teeth in opposition to the sidewall.

A method for the non-cutting production of a hub with a stepped hole, the method steps comprising: providing a metal round blank having a throughhole; providing a patch block in the throughhole and having a portion of the patch block spaced at a distance from the metal round blank so as to create a stepped area displaced from a plane of the top surface of the metal round blank; and, cold-forming the hub by use of at least one pressure roller with the at least one pressure roller fed radially towards the throughhole, wherein material from the metal round blank flows into the stepped area between the metal round blank and a portion of the patch block, thereby forming a stepped hole comprising a material web at an inner circumference of the hub. A hub with a stepped hole, produced from a metal round blank by a compression method.

Component with a hub, and a non-cutting production method therefor

The invention related to a method for producing a rim for a pneumatic tire. A rim base with a rear rim flange is produced from a ring-shaped blank by exerting pressure. Said rim base is then connected to a bowl of a rim at the side thereof facing away from the rear rim flange. In order to produce said rim base, the blank is inserted into a compression mould which is embodied as a cavity and is pressed against the at least partially contoured interior of the compression mould by means of at least one compression roll.

Method for producing a rim for a pneumatic tire

A tool for producing a gear part having external toothing using a method of shaping by compression or by rolling. Said tool comprises a receiving tool for supporting the work piece which is impinged upon by a projection. Said receiving tool is driven to perform a rotational movement. The tool includes a roller pivotal about an axis (Y) that is parallel to the axis (X) of the rotating receiving tool which hold the work piece. The roller can be adjusted in the direction of its Y axis in relation to the work piece. It is subdivided in the direction of its Y axis in order to carry out the compression method. The tooth height of the individual shaping areas increases while the crown circle remains the same across all shaping areas. The root radius of the individual shaping areas decreases and the tooth depth increases from one shaping area to the next shaping area. As a result, the tooth thickness at the root circle increases in all of the shaping areas.
