Capabilities · Gears

Custom gears —
plastic and metal, to your drawing.

POM / acetal, nylon, steel and brass gears — moulded at volume or hobbed and machined for low runs. Send a drawing or a sample part; we match the module, tooth count and bore to print. DDP UK delivery.

What we make

From a single replacement gear to a moulded production run.

Send a drawing, a 3D file, or just a worn sample — we can reverse-engineer an obsolete gear and reproduce it. Plastic gears moulded at volume (we supply the tool) or machined for prototypes and short runs; metal gears hobbed, milled and ground to spec.

Gear types
  • • Spur and helical gears
  • • Worm and worm wheels
  • • Bevel and internal / ring gears
  • • Planetary / epicyclic gear sets
  • • Gear racks, splines, sprockets
  • • Timing pulleys, cams, geared assemblies
Plastic gears
  • • POM / acetal — self-lubricating, quiet, low friction
  • • Nylon PA66, incl. glass-filled for higher load
  • • PBT, PC, and PEEK for high temperature
  • • Injection moulded at volume — we supply the tool
  • • Machined acetal / nylon for prototypes & short runs
Metal gears
  • • Free-cutting and alloy steel — hardened / case-hardened
  • • Stainless 303 / 316 for corrosion resistance
  • • Brass and phosphor bronze (worm wheels)
  • • Aluminium for light-weight drives
  • • Hobbed, gear-milled, shaped, broached, ground
Made to your spec
  • • Module, tooth count and pressure angle to print
  • • Bore, keyway, hub and set-screw features machined
  • • Reverse-engineered from a sample (obsolete spares)
  • • Over-moulded metal inserts and shafts
  • • Sample sign-off before any production run

Spec we work to.

Materials

POM / acetal, nylon PA66 (incl. glass-filled), PBT, PC, PEEK; free-cutting and case-hardened steel, stainless 303 / 316, brass, phosphor bronze, aluminium.

Production routes

Injection moulding for volume plastic gears (tooling supplied, low per-part cost). Hobbing, gear-milling, shaping, broaching and grinding for metal and low-volume runs. Heat treatment and surface finishing in line.

Quality

Made to your gear data (module, tooth count, pressure angle) or matched to a sample. Material certificates and dimensional inspection reports on request; gear-quality grade confirmed at quote stage.
