Custom-made gears
Manufacturing Process

From Technical Documentation or a Supplied Sample to a Finished Gear

We define the scope of work based on the documentation, supplied component and the gear unit's operating conditions. Each stage leads to a gear matched to the specific machine.

01

Input Data

We receive a drawing, 3D model or worn gear together with basic application information.

02

Geometric Analysis

We verify the gear teeth, diameters, bore, hub, mounting method and mating components.

03

Selection of Materials and Technologies

The material, heat treatment, and accuracy are determined based on the load and operating conditions of the gear.

04

Component Machining

We machine the gear body, bore, hub, keyways and gear teeth according to the selected process.

05

Finishing

If required by the design, the scope may include heat treatment, grinding or other agreed finishing operations.

06

Inspection and Acceptance

The finished component is inspected against the parameters specified for the particular order.

Important

Final Scope Confirmed After Component Review

Material, heat treatment, accuracy and finishing method depend on the geometry and intended use of the specific gear.

Technical Selection

First, the working conditions; then, the material

We do not select the material and manufacturing process based solely on gear dimensions. The entire drive system matters.

01 · Load

Torque and Duty Cycle

We consider the load level, its variability and the way power is transmitted through the mechanism.

02 · Dynamics

Operating Speed

Gear-unit speed affects the requirements for manufacturing accuracy, material and gear-tooth finishing.

03 · Environment

Operating Conditions

Temperature, moisture, lubrication and contact with process media affect material selection.

04 · Mating Components

Mating Gear and the Entire Mechanism

We analyze the geometry and condition of mating components because the new gear must operate correctly in the existing system.

Materials and Manufacturing

Material and Processing Matched to Gear Operating Conditions

There is no single universal material for a gear. Design, material and processing are selected for the load, required durability and the gear unit's operating conditions.

Materials

Structural Steels

Materials for typical machine components, selected for the required strength and operating conditions.

Materials

Alloy Steels

Used where higher mechanical properties and further heat treatment are required.

Materials

Bronzes and Engineering Plastics

Selected, among other applications, for worm gear drives, non-standard operating conditions or specific design requirements.

Heat treatment

Hardening

Through hardening or induction hardening is used when greater surface resistance and gear-tooth durability are required.

Heat treatment

Carburizing and Quenching & Tempering

Processes are selected for the steel grade, loads and required mechanical properties of the component.

Finishing

Grinding and Finishing

Depending on the documentation, precision finishing of gear teeth, bores and datum surfaces may be included.

Technology Selection

Material and Processing Should Be Considered as One System

Selecting a stronger steel alone does not always improve gear-unit durability. Gear-tooth geometry, heat treatment, manufacturing accuracy and the mating component also matter.

Two Production Paths

Do You Have Technical Documentation or Only the Old Gear?

We can start from either complete technical documentation or a supplied component that needs to be reproduced.

Path A

You Have Technical Documentation

Manufacturing begins with analysis of the drawing, model or data defining the geometry and requirements for the new component.

  • technical drawing is the basis for quotationtechnical drawing
  • 3D model
  • module and number of teeth
  • required material
  • heat treatment and accuracy
Path B

You Have a Worn Gear but No Documentation

The supplied component can be used as the starting point for measurements, geometry identification and preparation of a new gear.

  • measurement of the existing component
  • assessment of gear-tooth wear
  • analysis of the bore, hub and keyway
  • inspection of mating components
  • reconstruction of parameters that can be determined
Don't Have Complete Data?

Photographs and Basic Dimensions Are Enough to Get Started

Custom Manufacturing

What Do You Gain by Ordering a Gear for a Specific Machine?

A new gear does not have to be a standard catalogue item. We can reproduce a part operating in an existing machine or manufacture a component to a new design.

01 · Availability

Replacement of an Unavailable Part

A replacement can be manufactured for an older machine even when the original part is no longer available from the manufacturer.

02 · Fit

Geometry Matched to the Existing System

The gear can be matched to the shaft, housing, mating component and the available space in the machine.

03 · Technology

Material selected for operating conditions

Selection is not limited to reproducing dimensions. We also consider the load, operating mode and gear-unit requirements.

04 · Flexibility

From One Piece to a Short Production Run

A single component can be manufactured for maintenance, or a larger number of parts can be produced from the same documentation.

Maintenance

Lack of a Catalogue Part Does Not Necessarily Mean Replacing the Entire Machine

If the existing gear can be measured or documentation is available, a new component can be prepared to match the current drive system.

APPLICATIONS

Where Are Custom-Made Gears Used?

We manufacture gears both as replacement parts for existing machines and as new components for gear units being designed or modernized.

01 · Maintenance

Replacement Parts for Machinery

Reproduction of worn or unavailable gears to restore operation of existing equipment.

Older Machines · No Catalogue Parts Available
02 · Machine Building

New Gear Units and Mechanisms

Manufacture of components from design documentation for new machines, equipment and drive assemblies.

Documentation · New Designs
03 · Modernization

Modification of an Existing System

Design Modification · Machine-Specific Fit
04 · One-Off Production

Prototypes and Short Production Runs

Manufacture of individual components and short production runs when a standard catalogue product does not meet the project requirements.

1 Piece · Short Production Runs
Starting Point

The Application Matters More Than the Industry

To assess manufacturing feasibility, we primarily need information about geometry, load, speed, mounting method and the operating conditions of the specific mechanism.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About Custom Gears

Key information before sending documentation, a sample or an inquiry about custom gear manufacturing.

Can You Manufacture a Gear Without Technical Documentation?

Yes. A supplied gear can be the starting point. Based on it, we analyze the geometry that can be reconstructed, dimensions, mounting method and mating components.

What Types of Gears Do You Manufacture?

We manufacture, among other types, spur and helical gears, bevel gears, worm wheels, ring gears and gear racks.

Can I Order Just One Piece?

Yes. We manufacture both single components for maintenance and machine repairs, as well as short production runs from the same documentation.

What Information Should I Send for a Quote?

A drawing or 3D model is best. If no documentation is available, photographs, diameter, width, number of teeth, bore diameter, required quantity and application information are helpful.

What Materials Can the Gears Be Made From?

Material is selected for the design and operating conditions. Structural and alloy steels, stainless steels, bronzes and selected engineering plastics may be used.

Is Gear Heat Treatment Available?

Yes, if required by the application. The process may include hardening, quenching and tempering, carburizing or nitriding, depending on the material and required properties.

Can a Heavily Worn Gear Always Be Reproduced Accurately?

Not always. Severe wear or damage may make it impossible to determine some of the original parameters directly. In such cases, analysis of the entire mechanism and mating components can help.
