The invention discloses a method for
machining a steel snap ring and a device for realizing the method, relates to a
machining technique of a steel snap ring, and aims to solve the problems that a conventional
machining method is complex, numerous in procedure, low in pass percent, high in cost and long in production period. The method comprises the following steps: coiling a blank profile which is appropriate in cross section size and length into a multi-circle ring part by using a method for manufacturing a tightly coiled
helical spring, wherein the multi-circle ring part has multiple circles and the circles are tightly contacted;
cutting the multi-circle ring part into a single-circle snap ring blank; setting clamping heads at two ends of the blank; tightening an iron wire
hooping knot on the outer circle of a cylindrical
barrel, inserting a fastening bolt and a lifting eye nut into the cylindrical
barrel, a top cover and a bottom cover so as to connect and tightly press the cylindrical
barrel, the top cover and the bottom cover,
tempering, remaking the iron wire
hooping knot,
tempering again, and
cutting. By adopting the method, the beneficial effects that 7 procedures are reduced to 3 procedures, the pass percent is increased by 20%, the machining cost is halved and the
machining time is halved can be achieved, and the method is applicable to the field of snap ring machining, and particularly to machining of steel snap rings.
