Replacement Gears for Stopped Gearboxes – Made from a Drawing or a Worn Sample

When a gear fails, the drawing is often lost, the gearbox maker is gone or the OEM quotes months. Send us the drawing, the worn gear or just photos and key dimensions. We identify the gear, prepare a drawing for your approval, manufacture it and ship it to your plant with full documents.

How it works

From Worn Gear to Replacement in Five Steps

The same route for a single pinion and for a large double helical wheel. You approve the drawing before we cut a single tooth.

  • Send what you haveDrawing, STEP file, photos with a ruler, or the worn part itself. Add the tooth count and the mating gear if you know it.
  • We identify the gearModule or DP, pressure angle, helix, profile shift and tooth thickness from measurement, span or over-pin dimensions.
  • Drawing for approvalYou receive a manufacturing drawing with material, heat treatment and accuracy grade. Nothing is cut before you approve it.
  • Manufacture and inspectBlank, gear cutting, heat treatment and grinding where needed. Gear measurement, hardness and dimensional checks before release.
  • Ship with documentsPreserved, crated and shipped by road, sea or air with EN 10204 3.1 certificates and inspection reports.
What we replace

Gears, Pinions and Shafts for Industrial Gearboxes

Most replacement work is for heavy industrial drives that run for decades: mills, crushers, conveyors, mixers, cranes, winches and older gearboxes whose maker no longer supplies parts.

What to Measure on a Worn Gear

Photos and these values are usually enough for us to identify the gear and quote. If you can, ship the part – we measure it in İzmir and return it on request.

MeasureWhy we need it
Number of teeth (and of the mating gear)Fixes the ratio and lets us check the centre distance
Tip (outside) diameterWith the tooth count, gives the module and profile shift
Face widthTooth length for load and for the cutting set-up
Span over k teeth, or over-pin sizeTooth thickness – the key value for a correct fit
Helix angle and hand (helical gears)Must match the mating gear exactly
Bore, keyway or spline, hub dimensionsSo the gear fits the shaft without rework
Centre distance in the gearboxConfirms the pair geometry
Photos of the teeth, the failure and a rulerShows wear pattern and why the old gear failed

FAQ

Questions About Replacement Gears

Can you make a gear without a drawing?

Yes. From the worn part, or from photos and measured values, we determine module, pressure angle, helix, profile shift and tooth thickness, prepare a drawing and send it for your approval before production.

Do you make single pieces?

Yes. There is no minimum order. Single replacement gears, matched pairs and small batches for spare-part stock are all quoted.

How fast can you deliver?

It depends on size, material and heat treatment. We confirm the lead time in the quotation and plan urgent jobs around your shutdown date. Road transport from İzmir reaches Central Europe in a few days.

The mating gear is worn as well. What then?

We usually recommend replacing both as a matched pair, so tooth thickness and contact pattern are right. We can quote both options.

Do you sign an NDA?

Yes, before you send drawings if you need one. All drawings are treated as confidential.
