Proven Solutions Across Industries

Real-world applications demonstrate our ability to solve complex gear challenges. These anonymized case studies illustrate how our engineering expertise and manufacturing capabilities deliver measurable improvements in performance, reliability, and cost-efficiency.

Electric Outboard Gear

Challenge: Customer required ultra-quiet helical pinion for electric vehicle reduction gearbox. Noise targets below 65 dB under load with extended service life expectations.
Solution: 20CrMnTi with optimized carburizing profile (0.8-1.2mm case depth), profile-ground to ISO 1328 Class 5. Optimizing the gear tooth micro-geometry reduced mesh noise while maintaining strength.
Result: Noise was reduced by approximately 8 dB compared with the baseline design under the same operating conditions. The customer met the <65 dB target under load, and kept the expected service life and stable output.

Agricultural Gearbox Bevel Set

Challenge: Spiral bevel gear set for heavy-duty agricultural equipment experiencing premature wear and pitting failure. Original supplier unable to meet durability requirements.
Solution: Upgraded to 42CrMo with high-frequency induction hardening and shot peening for wear and pitting resistance. Contact pattern, optimized through lapping to improve load distribution and reduce stress.
Result: Field service life extended by approximately 40–60% with fewer pitting failures in use. Follow-on orders expanded to additional products, and the customer validated performance before scaling to full production.

Industrial Hydraulic Pump Gear Set

Challenge: OEM needed an external gear pump gear set (drive gear + idler gear) for a compact hydraulic power unit. Key targets were stable flow, low internal leakage, and lower mesh noise.
Solution: Multi-step manufacturing: gear cutting, deburring, controlled carburizing & quenching, then finish grinding on bores/faces. Micro-geometry and backlash were tuned to improve sealing and reduce noise.
Result: Before mass production, the pump’s performance was stable. Under the customer’s test conditions, the noise was reduced, the volumetric efficiency was improved, and full-scale production was smoothly carried out.

Common Questions About Custom Gear Manufacturing

Get answers to the most common questions we receive from engineering and procurement teams. Can’t find what you’re looking for? Contact us directly for project-specific guidance.

What is your minimum order quantity (MOQ)?

We accept prototype orders with no minimum quantity. For production runs, MOQ depends on complexity—typically 50-100 pieces for standard gears, but we’re flexible for specialized applications. Small batch orders are welcome as we understand the need for testing and validation before committing to larger volumes.
 
 

What are typical lead times for samples and mass production?

Prototype samples: 4-6 weeks after drawing approval. Mass production: 3-5 weeks depending on quantity and complexity. Rush service available for urgent projects. Lead times include manufacturing, heat treatment, inspection, and preparation of documentation. We provide detailed production schedules with milestone dates upon order confirmation.
 
 

Which gear standards do you support?

We manufacture to ISO 1328, DIN 3961, AGMA 2000, JIS B 1702, and customer-specific standards. Our inspection equipment is calibrated to measure according to these standards, and our quality documentation references the applicable standard for your project. We can also work with proprietary company standards if you provide detailed specifications.
 
 

Can you help optimize our gear design for manufacturing?

Yes, Design for Manufacturing (DFM) analysis is included at no charge. Our engineering team reviews drawings for manufacturability and can suggest modifications to improve quality, reduce cost, or simplify production. 
 
 

What inspection reports and documentation can you provide?

Standard documentation includes: dimensional inspection reports (CMM data for critical features), gear inspection reports (profile, lead, pitch measurements), hardness test results (surface and core), and material certificates. Optional documentation available: First Article Inspection (FAI) reports, PPAP packages, metallographic analysis, contact pattern verification for bevel gears, and noise testing data.
 
 

What heat treatment options are available?

Carburizing (gas or vacuum), nitriding (gas or plasma), induction hardening, and through-hardening. We can control case depth, core hardness, and surface hardness to your specifications.
 
 

How do you handle shipping and packaging?

All gears receive anti-rust treatment (oil coating or VCI wrapping). Individual wrapping or compartmentalized packaging prevents damage during transit. We coordinate international shipping, handle export documentation, and can work with your preferred freight forwarder. For high-value or fragile components, we use custom wooden crates or foam inserts for maximum protection.
 
 

Do you offer testing services beyond dimensional inspection?

Yes. We can coordinate, through our partner laboratory, contact pattern verification for bevel and quasi-hypoid gears, as well as metallographic analysis to confirm surface-hardened case depth and microstructure. These services help validate gear performance prior to full-scale production.
 
 

What about intellectual property protection?

We sign NDAs as standard practice for proprietary designs. Your drawings and specifications are stored securely with access limited to project team members. We do not reverse-engineer customer products or share technical information with competitors. Many customers have worked with us for years across multiple confidential projects.

Materials & Heat Treatment Expertise

Material selection and heat treatment directly impact gear performance, durability, and cost. Our metallurgical expertise helps you choose the optimal combination for your application requirements—balancing strength, wear resistance, and manufacturability.

Common Gear Materials

  • 20CrMnTi: Carburizing steel for high surface hardness with tough core. Excellent for high-load applications requiring wear resistance.
  • 42CrMo / 4140: Through-hardening alloy steel. Good strength and toughness for medium to heavy-duty applications.
  • 8620H / SCM420: Carburizing grade with superior core strength. Ideal for shock loads and fatigue resistance.
  • 40Cr / 5140: Medium carbon alloy steel for induction hardening. Cost-effective for selective hardening applications.
  • S45C / 1045: Medium carbon steel for lower-stress applications. Can be induction hardened or quenched and tempered.

Heat Treatment Processes

  • Gas Carburizing: Traditional carburizing for general applications. Case depth 0.5-2.0mm, surface hardness 58-62 HRC achievable.
  • Vacuum Carburizing: Cleaner process with minimal distortion and oxidation. Preferred for precision gears requiring minimal grinding stock.
  • Nitriding: Lower temperature process creates hard, wear-resistant surface. Minimal distortion makes it ideal for pre-ground gears.
  • Induction Hardening: Selective hardening of tooth surfaces while maintaining softer core. Fast, cost-effective for certain geometries.
