Ordering & Lead Times
The questions every buyer asks first
Answers on quoting, lead times, materials, and shipping.
Stock gears ship in 2–5 business days. Made-to-print work runs 3–6 weeks depending on heat-treatment and grinding scope; expedites are available on open capacity.
Carburizing steels (8620, 9310), through-hardening steels (4140, 4340), stainless (17-4 PH, 303), bronze, and engineering plastics like POM and PEEK.
AGMA 12 / DIN 3 on ground gears; AGMA 8–10 is typical for hobbed-only work.
Yes — vacuum carburizing, through hardening, and nitriding all run on our own furnaces.
Ø 1,200 mm outside diameter, module 20 mn; the smallest we cut is module 0.3.
Yes — planetary and parallel-shaft assemblies, spin-tested on our own rigs before shipment.
Every day. Send yours, or ask for our mutual template.
An odd module, a discontinued OEM gear, a noise problem you can't trace — send us the part or the print and a real gear cutter will tell you whether we can make it better than the original. Usually we can.
