Industry Leaders in Gear Manufacturing
As a manufacturer, you never want to find out that one of the gears in your machinery is prematurely cracking. Sometimes it’s because of a void/inclusion in the steel, fatigue, or excessive torque. Regardless of the cause, at some point, that gear will fail. When that happens, Motion Systems Inc. is a gear manufacturing expert that can get you back up and running.

What Is Gear Manufacturing?
Gears are rotating circular parts that can be found in machinery, equipment, vehicles, and generic drive systems. They are easily distinguishable by their rows of cut teeth. These teeth then mate/connect with another gear to generate power and motion.
Gear manufacturing typically involves using high-grade steel or other materials to machine components to predetermined customer specifications. While gears typically have a cylindrical, oval, or circular shape, they can also be found in several other shapes and configurations. Heat treatment is then done after machining as a means of improving the gear’s performance and extending its life.
The Benefits of Custom Gear Manufacturing
It would be great if there were universally accepted dimensions for every gear configuration everywhere in the world. However, that’s not the case.
Custom gear manufacturing minimizes downtime by taking the dimensions from a defective, cracked, or fractured gear and manufacturing a replacement. Sometimes, all that’s required is a rework or refurbishment. Other times, the solution is far more complex and requires an understanding on how the entire drive system functions together.
When confronted with a complex gear failure, Motion Systems takes our analysis a step further by deep-diving into the upstream and downstream portions of the equipment/machinery before manufacturing a customized gear replacement. Our success is based upon in-depth expertise and an understanding of how drive systems and powertrains operate.
