Gear Cutting Services | Custom Solutions

Precision Gears, Inc. provides high-quality gear cutting services for OEMs and industrial manufacturers requiring precision, reliability, and performance. Since 1919, we have manufactured custom gears for demanding applications across a wide range of industries. Whether it is prototype development or large production volumes, our experienced team delivers precision-machined gears with exceptional quality and dependable lead times.

Custom Gear Cutting for Specialized Applications

Every application has unique performance requirements. Our custom gear cutting/hobbing services are tailored to customer specifications, including unique geometries, materials, tolerances, and production volumes. We work closely with customers to manufacture gears designed for long service life, reliable performance, and seamless integration into their equipment.

Advanced CNC Gear Cutting for Precision and Efficiency

We house advanced CNC gear-cutting equipment that delivers exceptional accuracy, repeatability, and production efficiency. CNC-controlled processes allow us to achieve gears up to AGMA 11 standards while maintaining tight tolerances, repeatability, and consistent quality from prototype through production.

Expert Helical Gear Cutting

Helical gears offer smoother engagement, quieter operation, and increased load-carrying capacity compared to conventional spur gears. We produce precision-cut helical gears that meet exact customer specifications and deliver reliable performance in high-speed and high-load applications.

Worm Gear Hobbing for Precise Power Transmission

Both spline types are essential in gearboxes (often functioning alongside spur gears, helical gears, and worm gears), transmissions, automotive components, drive systems, pumps, and motors where strength, accuracy, and repeatability are critical.

Spur Gear Cutting

Spur gears remain one of the most widely used gear types across industrial applications. Precision Gears produces custom spur gears with accurate tooth profiles and tight tolerances to ensure efficient power transmission and dependable performance.

Why Choose Precision Gears for Your Gear Cutting Needs?

Precision Gears utilizes advanced hobbing and shaping processes to produce accurate spline profiles with tight tolerances and consistent quality.

Over 100 Years of Expertise

Founded in 1919, Precision Gears has built a reputation as a trusted manufacturer of custom gears for customers worldwide. Our extensive experience includes the production of worm gears, worms, spur gears, and helical gears for a broad range of industries and applications.

State-of-the-Art Manufacturing Facility

Operating from our 67,000-square-foot Wisconsin facility, Precision Gears offers a full range of in-house manufacturing capabilities, including gear cutting, shaping, gear grinding, milling, broaching, machining, and inspection. Companies in a broad range of industries count on Precision Gears for the production of worm gears, worms, spur gears, helical gears, and internal splines.
