FAQ
What information do you need to provide a quote for custom precision bevel gears?
Please provide a drawing (2D/3D), specify gear type, module/DP, number of teeth, pressure angle, material, hardness requirements, quality grade, and annual volume. Our engineering team will review and propose the optimal solution.
What is the typical lead time for standard and custom gear orders?
Lead times vary based on complexity and quantity. Standard catalog items may ship in 2-4 weeks. Custom precision bevel gears typically require 6-10 weeks for tooling and production. Expedited options are available for urgent projects.
How do you ensure the quality and consistency of your gears?
We employ a multi-stage quality control protocol. This includes in-process checks during machining, post-heat-treatment validation, and final inspection using coordinate measuring machines (CMM) and gear analyzers to verify all critical parameters against your specifications.
Can you manufacture bevel gears for non-90-degree shaft angles?
Absolutely. While 90° is standard, we regularly produce precision bevel gears for other shaft angles, such as 45°, 60°, or 120°. Our design team can engineer the correct tooth geometry for your specific angular requirement.
Do you offer surface treatments or coatings?
Yes. We offer various treatments including black oxide, phosphate coating, zinc plating, and nickel plating for corrosion resistance. Dry-film lubricants or specialized coatings for extreme environments can also be applied upon request.
