Crown Bevel Gears for Industrial Robots

Are crown gears also called face gears?

Yes. Many references treat “crown gear” as a face gear form, with a planar pitch surface and teeth on the face, used for right-angle power transfer.

What’s most important to quote robot crown gears correctly?

Mating pinion details, target backlash, alignment limits, load/speed profile, lubrication, and quantity. Robot joints are sensitive to stiffness, so bearing arrangement and housing constraints help.

Do you support prototypes and low-volume orders before mass production?

Yes. We support prototyping and small-batch runs to validate fit, meshing, and assembly performance before scaling up. MOQ depends on gear design and tooling needs, and we will suggest a cost-effective trial quantity.

Can you quote from a sample part?

Yes. A sample is workable, but mating pinion information improves accuracy. Photos of the assembly and mounting datums also help reduce fit issues.

What inspection reports and certificates can you provide?

Upon request, we can provide a Certificate of Conformance, material mill certificates, dimensional inspection reports, and other verification documents based on your acceptance requirements and order type.

What is the lead time for custom bevel gears?

Typical lead time depends on design complexity, tooling, and heat-treatment schedule. As a reference, prototypes are often 25–40 days, and production orders are commonly 20–40 days. We will confirm a schedule after drawing review.

How do you handle packaging, shipping, and export documents?

We use export-ready packaging with rust protection and secure cartons or wooden cases as needed. We can ship by air, courier, or sea, and provide standard export documents such as packing list, commercial invoice, and other paperwork required by your import process.
