High-speed spur gear applications reveal design challenges that aren’t obvious at lower RPMs—vibration amplification, thermal growth, and dynamic loading that can destroy even well-machined gears.

Gear material selection impacts everything from torque capacity to noise levels, and POM (polyoxymethylene) offers unique advantages that metal gears can’t match. Understanding when to

Gear strength isn’t just about material—it’s about how tooth geometry distributes load and manages stress concentrations. After machining thousands of precision gears for robotics, and

Choosing between helical and spur gears often comes down to balancing smooth operation against manufacturing complexity and cost. The wrong gear choice can impact both

Selecting the right gear type can make or break your mechanical design — especially when balancing performance, cost, and manufacturability constraints. With decades of experience

Gear undercut causes more design rejections than any other gear manufacturing issue we see. From medical device gears to precision robotics components, preventing undercut early

Gear undercut isn’t just a design calculation—it’s a manufacturing reality that can compromise tooth strength and create costly failures in precision assemblies. When designing gears

Designing gear systems requires getting center distance calculations right from the start. Incorrect center distance leads to premature wear, noise, and system failure. With experience

Gear noise often signals poor load distribution or alignment issues that accelerate wear. With years of experience machining precision gears for industrial and robotics applications,

Choosing between plastic and metal gears isn’t just about material cost—it’s about understanding performance trade-offs that can make or break your design. With years of
