Common questions about internal gear manufacturing, processes, and applications answered by our technical experts.
Internal gears offer several key advantages including higher contact ratios for smoother operation, more compact designs with shorter center distances, higher load capacity due to multiple teeth in contact, and the ability to achieve higher speed reduction ratios in planetary gear systems. They also provide better protection from contamination since the teeth are enclosed within the ring structure.
We utilize several advanced manufacturing processes including gear shaping (most common for internal gears), CNC gear hobbing for high-volume production, broaching for high-precision applications, and wire EDM for complex geometries. Each process is selected based on the specific requirements including material, size, tolerance, and production volume.
Material selection depends on the specific application requirements. For high-load applications, we recommend case-hardened steels (4140, 8620) or through-hardened tool steels. For corrosive environments, stainless steels (316L, 17-4 PH) are ideal. Engineering plastics like PEEK or POM are excellent for low-noise, lightweight applications. Bronze and brass alloys provide good wear resistance and self-lubricating properties.
We consistently achieve AGMA quality grades 6-12 depending on the application requirements. Our dimensional tolerances typically range from ±0.0001″ to ±0.005″ depending on the feature and size. Surface finishes can be achieved as fine as Ra 0.1μm for critical applications. All gears undergo comprehensive inspection including dimensional analysis, profile checking, and functional testing.
Lead times vary based on complexity, material, and quantity. For standard materials and sizes, prototype quantities typically require 2-3 weeks. Production quantities of 10-100 pieces usually require 4-6 weeks. Large or complex gears may require 6-10 weeks. Rush orders can often be accommodated with expedited processing. We provide detailed schedules for each project during the quoting process.
