Claims
- 1. A method of manufacturing an internal gear comprising the steps of;
- forming by press working a sheet metal material as a hollow cylindrical metal body having a radially extending flange portion with a free end, a bottom portion, and a cylindrical portion between said flange portion and said bottom portion, with each portion having a predetermined thickness;
- fitting a peripheral surface of said cylindrical portion onto a mandrel having a tooth profile part on a peripheral surface thereof;
- clamping and holding opposed axial end faces of said flange portion between a first member and a roller, and opposed axial end faces of said bottom portion between a second member and said mandrel;
- rotating said hollow cylindrical metal body together with said mandrel; and
- pressing said roller against an outer peripheral surface of said cylindrical portion in a direction perpendicular to an axis of said mandrel while rotating said hollow cylindrical metal body together with said mandrel;
- whereby said hollow cylindrical metal body is plastically deformed along said tooth profile part of said mandrel by said roller to form a tooth profile part on an inner peripheral surface of said cylindrical portion.
- 2. A method of manufacturing an internal gear according to claim 1, wherein said forming step comprises
- first stamping said sheet metal material of a coil stock material to form a disc shape blank member; and
- pressing said disc shape blank member to form it into a dish-like metal member.
- 3. A method of manufacturing an internal gear according to claim 2, wherein said forming step comprises
- shaping said a dish-like shape metal member into said hollow cylindrical metal body.
- 4. A method of manufacturing an internal gear according to claim 1, wherein said forming step comprises
- forming at least one installation member on said flange portion.
- 5. A method of manufacturing an internal gear according to claim 1, wherein said forming step comprises forming at least one boss member on said flange portion.
- 6. A method of manufacturing an internal gear according to claim 1, wherein the axial end of said flange portion is located more radially outward from an axis of said cylindrical portion than said bottom portion.
- 7. A method of manufacturing an internal gear comprising the steps of;
- forming by press working a sheet metal material as a hollow cylindrical metal body having a radially extending flange portion with a free end, a bottom portion, a cylindrical portion between said flange portion and said bottom portion, and a burring portion having a hole centrally of said bottom portion with each portion having a predetermined thickness;
- fitting said hole of said burring portion into a peripheral surface of a boss of a mandrel;
- fitting a peripheral surface of said cylindrical portion of said hollow cylindrical metal body onto a mandrel die having a tooth profile part on a peripheral surface thereof;
- clamping and holding opposed axial end faces of said flange portion between a first member and a roller and opposed axial end faces of said bottom portion between a second member and said mandrel
- rotating said hollow cylindrical metal body together with said mandrel; and
- pressing said roller against a substantially entire outer peripheral surface of said cylindrical portion of said hollow cylindrical metal body in a direction perpendicular to an axis of said mandrel while rotating said hollow cylindrical metal body together with said mandrel;
- whereby said hollow cylindrical metal body is plastically deformed along said tooth profile part on said mandrel die by said roller to form a tooth profile part on an inner peripheral surface of said cylindrical portion of said hollow cylindrical metal body.
- 8. A method of manufacturing an internal gear according to claim 7, wherein said forming step comprises
- first stamping said sheet metal material of a coil stock material to form a disc shape blank member; and
- pressing said disc shape blank member to form it into a dish-like shape metal member.
- 9. A method of manufacturing an internal gear according to claim 7, wherein said forming step comprises
- shaping a said dish-like shape metal member into said hollow cylindrical metal body.
- 10. A method of manufacturing an internal gear according to claim 7, wherein said forming step comprises
- forming at least one installation member on said flange portion.
- 11. A method of manufacturing an internal gear according to claim 7, wherein the axial end of said flange portion is located more radially outward from an axis of said cylindrical portion than said bottom portion.
