Gear Manufacturing Services

Gear manufacturing services design and fabricate gears to customer specifications. They differ in terms of product capabilities, manufacturer capabilities, and materials. Specifications for gears include gear type, number of teeth, design units, tooth form, direction, gear center, pressure angle, gear features, and mounting requirements. Quality standards and certifications for gear manufacturing services include AS9000, QS 9000, ISO 9001, ISO 9002, and MIL-SPEC. Industries served include aerospace, agriculture, automotive, building and construction, marine transportation, material handling, medical, military, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, power generation, and robotics.  

Production capabilities for gear manufacturing services may be divided into gears and other, related components. There are many different types of gears. Examples include anti-backlash, bevel or miter, change, cluster, differential, helical, herringbone, hypoid, internal, planetary, spur or pinion, and worm gears. Gear manufacturing services that specialize in gear blanks, gear stock, pinion wire, and racks are also available. Other, related components include brakes and brake parts, chain drives, clutches, gages and masters, gearboxes and transmissions, impellers, industrial drives, rollers, splines, sprockets, timing pulleys, and V-belt pulleys.  

Manufacturer capabilities for gear manufacturing services may be divided into primary and secondary operations. Primary operations include design and development, failure analysis, inspection and testing, just-in-time (JIT) manufacturing, prototyping, production manufacturing, repairs and reconditioning, and reverse engineering. Gear manufacturing services may also perform secondary operations such as broaching, casting, gear shaving, grinding, heat treating and hardening, hobbing, lapping and honing, and surface finishing. Specialty gear manufacturing services that perform unlisted, specialized or proprietary operations are also available.  

Material capabilities for gear manufacturing services may be divided into metals and plastics / other materials. Metal materials include aluminum, brass, bronze, cast iron, magnesium, powder metal, steel, and titanium. Plastics and other materials for gears include acetal, ceramic, nylon, phenolic resins, polycarbonate, fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP), and rubber. Gear manufacturing services that work with specialty and proprietary plastics such as Delrin (DuPont) are also available. A class of homopolymer, Delrin offers high tensile strength, impact resistance, stiffness, and outstanding fatigue endurance.
