What is BS 2062-2 – turbine gear hob specification about?
Hobs are used for cutting gears, splines, and sprockets. The BS 2062 series is a British Standard series that discusses specifications for gear hobs.
BS 2062-2 is the second part of the BS 2062 multi-series, and applies to Grade AA ground profile single-start right-hand and left-hand finishing hobs for gears for the marine turbine, land turbine, and similar drives.
Who is BS 2062-2 - turbine gear hob specification for?
BS 2062-2 on turbine gear hob specification is useful for:
- Manufacturers and suppliers of gear hobs
- Manufacturers of products/components made by gear hobbing
- Product design engineers
- Innovation/research and development teams
- Quality control personnel
- Testing laboratories

Why should you use BS 2062-2 - turbine gear hob specification?
Gear hobbing is a multipoint machining process in which gear teeth are progressively generated by a series of cuts with a hob.
BS 2062-2 covers the accuracy requirements of hobs for the production of gears. Detailed diagrams and tables have been provided in BS 2062-2 to illustrate the shapes and dimensions of gear hobs.
BS 2062-1 provides you with illustrations to get a clear picture of general hob terminology. BS 2062-1 discusses tooth form, dimensions, bore, hubs, gashes, as well as keys and keyways for the specified gear hobs.
BS 2062-1 guidelines help you to follow best practices when manufacturing and working with gear hobs so that your users have access to high-quality products.
