Hirth-tooth profile (ground)

As a detachable coupling, the Hirth tooth profile offers a self-centering and form-fitting connection for rotationally symmetrical parts such as shafts, rotor disks or indexing plates on rotary indexing tables in the smallest of spaces. Torque transmission is limited by the available axial tension. Thanks to the high-precision grinding of the teeth, the contact area can be increased and, as a result, the surface pressure can be reduced.

If the elements to be coupled can be easily moved axially, the Hirth coupling is designed in two parts. For other applications, such as non-lifting rotary indexing tables or tool holders, the coupling can also be designed in three parts, consisting of an outer, inner and bridge ring.

The Hirth serrations are available in a non-hardened version produced by milling (up to a material strength of 1100 N/mm²) or in a hardened version.

The tooth profile is pre-milled hardened and and ground with high precision, taking into account the required hardening depth, so that the Hirth tooth profile shows almost no change in the indexing and centering accuracy even after multiple switching operations. While a contact area of ​​up to approx. 70% can be achieved in the milled version, a contact area of ​​up to 80% is achieved with the ground version. This not only increases the accuracy, but also the transmittable torque.
