Gears for Industrial Machinery Builders
Special machines, conveyors, machine tools, agricultural and forestry equipment – we manufacture the custom gears, racks and shafts machinery builders need, in series and with consistent quality.
Custom Gears for Machine Builders
Machinery builders design their own drives. The gears and shafts are specific to each machine: a particular module, a bore with a spline, a hub of a certain length, a rack of a given travel. Catalogue parts rarely fit, so the gears must be made to drawing – and delivered reliably in series.
Nika Gears manufactures custom gears, racks, pinion shafts and splined shafts for European machinery OEMs, from prototypes to repeat production orders with batch documentation.

- Bevel gear sets
Which Materials for Machinery Gears?
| Application | Typical choice |
|---|---|
| Highly loaded gearbox gears | 16MnCr5, 20MnCr5 or 18CrNiMo7-6 case hardened |
| Moderately loaded gears | 42CrMo4 Q+T or induction hardened |
| Gear racks | C45 or 42CrMo4, induction-hardened teeth |
| Shafts | 42CrMo4, C45; seats ground |
Final material and heat treatment follow your drawing. We advise when the specification is open.

Industrial Machinery Gear Questions
Do you manufacture prototypes?
Yes. We make prototypes and pre-series parts, then switch to series production with the same process.
Can you hold stock for call-off orders?
Call-off arrangements can be agreed per project. Tell us your yearly volume and delivery rhythm in the RFQ.
Do you supply complete machine gear sets?
Yes – all gears, racks and shafts of a machine drive, inspected and packed per set.
A Gear Partner for Machinery Builders
For a machinery builder, gears are rarely the core product but always a critical one. A late or out-of-tolerance gear stops final assembly; a noisy gear generates warranty claims. That is why OEMs look for a gear supplier who reads drawings carefully, keeps quality stable over time and communicates clearly.
From prototype to series
New machines start with prototypes. We manufacture prototype gears and shafts to drawing, feed back manufacturability notes, and then move to series production using the same process, tooling and inspection plan – so series parts behave like the approved prototypes.
The full range of drive parts
Machinery drives combine spur and helical gears, bevel sets, worm gears, racks and splined shafts. Sourcing them from one manufacturer simplifies purchasing, documentation and quality agreements.
Steel parts from the same group
Frames, bases, brackets and welded assemblies for the same machines can be produced by our sister company Nika Steelworks – serial steel fabrication and CNC machining in İzmir.
