Axial forming: Meshing perfectly
Splined parts are often manufactured in a mass-production environment where the goals are always high precision, speed and resource efficiency. That’s something axial forming can deliver.
Processes & Machines
Top-quality splines
In drive- or gear shafts, splines ensure the power transmission required. When splining components in lightweight construction processes, axial forming is the method of choice.
Processes & Machines
Five strong arguments
Axial forming is universally, effective, precise, the procosses is safe and quick and resource sparing.
Processes & Machines
The process in video animation
First, the blank is positioned either manually or automatically into the machine. The clamping device plays a significant part here: the correct position of the workpiece is determined by the perfect design of the internal and external spline.
Processes & Machines
Step by step and more possible options
Lower forming force, highest precision and reduced wear of the workpiece – the advantages of recursive modulated axial forming are numerous. What also matters is: The process patented by Felss enhances the possible applications of this innovative forming technology.
Processes & Machines
Precise machine construction – precise workpieces
Efficient and faultless production of high precision splined workpieces: For our customers, this is a very crucial criterion. Another demand for Felss: Every axial forming machine is designed and produced with the same precision and know-how and experience. The modular concept from Felss offers individual solutions for every kind of application.
Processes & Machines
Perfectly adapted units
The modular structure allows the machines to be purposefully and quickly adapted to the different applications. Each one is then best equipped for the future. The axial forming modules can be set up at a later stage or can be replaced with little set-up effort.

Rotary swaging: Lightweight construction and design flexibility
Rotary-swaged components are lightweight and manufactured precisely and efficiently. Rotary swaging also offers a lot of flexibility in terms of design. Developed more than a century ago, the process still has many advantages.
Processes & Machines
Lighter, faster, more precise
Lightweight components, or a more efficient method of production, give production planners and designers plenty to think about. Components made by rotary swaging are lighter, more precise and produced faster than when machined.
Processes & Machines
Just like a clockwork
The Rotary swaging principle and concept are as fascinating as effective: Several die segments impact on the workpiece again and again in quick succession. It is not just the material that starts to flow and is formed in quick succession with high precision, but the workpiece too is strengthened during cold forming.
Processes & Machines
Large variety of shapes
A large variety of shapes and very different degrees of deformation could be achieved by rotary swaging. The possibilities are far more numerous than with most other cold forming processes. The examples below therefore only show some of the typical geometries.
