7. FAQ
Q: What information do you need to provide a quotation for custom bevel gears?
A: To provide an accurate quote and design, please provide the gear type (straight, spiral, etc.), module/DP, number of teeth on both gears, shaft angle, face width, material specification, desired heat treatment, quality grade, and any applicable drawings or sample parts. Our engineering team can also assist in specifying these parameters.
Q: What is the lead time for standard vs. custom gear orders?
A: Lead times vary based on complexity. Standard gear orders typically ship within 4-6 weeks. Custom-designed or large-volume orders may require 8-12 weeks for tooling, production, and quality assurance. We provide firm lead time estimates with every order confirmation.
Q: Can you manufacture gears to match my existing broken or worn-out part?
A: Yes, reverse engineering is a core service. We can meticulously measure your sample (even if worn) using advanced CMMs and gear analyzers to create a new, often improved, replacement part that matches or exceeds the original performance.
Q: How do you ensure quality control?
A: Our quality process includes material certification, in-process inspections during cutting and heat treatment, and final inspection using gear checking machines (for profile, helix, pitch) and hardness testers. Dimensional reports and material certificates are available with shipment.
Q: Do you offer assembly services for gearboxes or complete drive systems?
A: While our primary focus is as a component bevel gear supplier, we offer limited sub-assembly services, such as mounting gears onto shafts with keyways or splines, and pre-meshing matched gear sets. We can also recommend partners for complete gearbox assembly.
