Gleason vs Cyclo-Palloid Spiral Bevel Gears

06/14/2012 8:19 AM

Is one method of manufacture better than the other? I've got my eye on cost, durability, longevity and quality. Is one method able to hold the tolerances better than the other?

My research so far indicates that CNC is best, but very few suppliers are able to produce with this method. The remaining suppliers use either Gleason or Cyclo-Palloid.

I've haven't been able to find an unbiased report comparing the two. Hence, my question here.

Thanks in advance.
