Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What information do you need to provide a quote for a bevel gear service?
To provide an accurate quotation, we typically require: a drawing (2D or 3D CAD), gear type, module/DP, number of teeth, pressure angle, face width, material specification, heat treatment requirements, desired quality class, and annual volume.
Can you manufacture gears based on a worn sample if drawings are lost?
Yes. Our reverse engineering service is a core part of our bevel gear service. We can meticulously measure your sample, determine the original specifications, and produce a fully functional replacement or an improved version.
What is the typical lead time for a custom bevel gear set?
Lead times vary based on complexity, size, and volume. Prototypes can often be delivered in 4-6 weeks, while production runs are scheduled based on order volume. We provide a firm timeline upon project review.
Do you offer surface treatments and coatings?
Absolutely. We offer a range of treatments including black oxide for corrosion resistance and break-in, phosphating for wear resistance and oil retention, and various electroplated coatings. We will recommend the best option for your operating environment.
How do you ensure the quality of the gears?
Quality is integrated at every stage. We perform in-process checks during cutting and heat treatment, followed by final inspection using gear analyzers and CMMs to verify tooth geometry, hardness, and surface finish against your specifications.
