Your gear drawing just came back marked “not manufacturable” – again. The third supplier this month rejected specifications that meet standard tolerances, use common materials,
Your aluminum part drawing came back with “not manufacturable” stamped across it, or worse – a quote that’s triple what you expected. Most engineers face
Your SolidWorks estimate said $200. Three suppliers just quoted $2,000, $2,500, and $3,200 for the exact same aluminum bracket. Your project deadline is six weeks
Specifying gear hardness often leads to the assumption that harder is always better — but this can result in brittle failures, unnecessary costs, and manufacturing
Designing gears that won’t fail under load requires balancing material selection, geometry optimization, and manufacturing precision. With over 15 years machining custom gears for robotics,
Choosing the right heat treatment for precision gears means balancing strength, dimensional stability, and cost. After machining heat-treated gears for aerospace and medical applications, we’ve
Selecting the right heat treatment for gears isn’t just about hardness numbers — it’s about balancing performance, cost, and manufacturability. After machining thousands of precision
Choosing carburizing for gear applications often creates a dilemma: you need hard surfaces for wear resistance, but worry about creating brittle cores that crack under
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
