skivediametre

Skivediametre is a term primarily used in the context of mechanical engineering and manufacturing, particularly when discussing rotating components and their assembly. It refers to the diameter of a hole or internal surface that has been created using a skiving tool. A skiving tool is a cutting tool with multiple cutting edges that operates by continuously removing material in a thin, shaving-like manner. This process is often employed to achieve a precise and smooth internal diameter, especially in softer materials like plastics or certain metals. The skivediametre is therefore a measure of the finished internal dimension after this specific machining operation. It is distinct from other methods of hole creation such as drilling or reaming, as skiving typically results in a superior surface finish and tighter dimensional tolerances. Understanding the skivediametre is crucial for selecting appropriate mating parts, ensuring proper fit, and predicting the performance and longevity of assembled components in applications ranging from automotive to aerospace.
