Calculating gear profile shift correctly can mean the difference between a smooth-running transmission and an expensive redesign. As precision gear manufacturers with decades of experience

Selecting the right gear face width isn’t just about fitting your design envelope — it’s about balancing torque capacity, machining feasibility, and system performance. With

Designing compact gears isn’t just about saving space — it’s about avoiding strength failures and undercutting that make parts unmachinable. When the tooth count gets

Gear noise isn’t just a post-production issue — it’s often rooted in pressure angle and contact ratio decisions made early in design. But tweaking these

Many engineers assume that simply using a larger gear will increase torque — but that’s not always true. This post is written to clear up

Working with both inch and metric gears can lead to mistakes if unit assumptions go unchecked. This post clears up confusion between DP (diametral pitch)

Designing gear systems across imperial and metric standards can quickly get messy. We’ve worked with audio, medical, and industrial clients who ran into sourcing headaches

Many engineers add idler gears to fix spacing or reverse direction—but don’t always know the cost trade-offs. This post clears up confusion around gear ratio,

When designing compact gear trains or small pinions, it’s easy to overlook how contact ratio affects smooth motion transfer. Below a certain point, gears start

Many engineers know contact ratio matters — but few know when it’s good enough, when it’s too low, or when it creates more problems than
