Custom CNC Machined
Gears

6CNC manufactures custom gears and gear-related components for OEMs, automation teams, and machinery builders. We review the tooth specification together with the bore, hub, shaft, heat treatment, and inspection requirements.

Gears for Your Application

Each component is manufactured to your requirements. These examples help identify the geometry and interfaces to discuss with 6CNC.

01

Spur & helical gears

Parallel-shaft transmission components with the module, tooth count, pressure angle, and helix requirements defined by your drawing.

02

Bevel & worm components

Gears for specified intersecting or nonparallel shaft arrangements, reviewed with their mating geometry.

03

Racks & pinions

Rotary-to-linear transmission components for positioning equipment, automation, and machinery.

04

Integrated gear components

Gear shafts, internal gears, and planetary-related parts with coordinated mounting and transmission features.

Engineering review

Custom Gear Geometry. Coordinated Interfaces.

Start with the features that determine fit, function, and acceptance. 6CNC reviews these requirements before confirming the manufacturing route.

01

Provide the tooth definition

Include module or pitch, tooth count, pressure angle, profile requirements, and any specified gear quality or inspection standard.

02

Connect teeth to assembly datums

Define bore, shaft, keyway, hub, and face relationships. Identify runout and alignment requirements relative to the operating datum.

03

Plan treatment before final inspection

State material condition, hardness, heat treatment, finishing, and the dimensions that apply afterward. Supply mating gear information where needed.

Gears Machining Specifications

Use these published 6CNC reference ranges to begin your enquiry. The quotation confirms what applies to your actual part.

ItemPublished scope & project review
MaterialsAluminum, brass, stainless steel, carbon steel, alloy steel, titanium; nylon, POM, and PEEK for specified applications.
Published module reference0.5–10+ module; custom diameters and actual tooth geometry require review.
Critical-feature tolerance±0.005–±0.02 mm published reference on suitable tooth-related features; this does not define a gear quality grade.
Quantity1–600 pieces for prototype, small, and medium runs.
Manufacturing routeTurning, Swiss machining, 5-axis milling, gear hobbing or milling, and grinding as required by the part.
Treatment optionsSpecified heat treatment, grinding, polishing, plating, anodizing, and black oxide.

Complete the specification

Material and Finish, Planned Together

Specify the material

Supply the alloy and condition or polymer grade, with any specified hardness and treatment. 6CNC reviews the material and manufacturing route against the tooth geometry and assembly requirements.

Define the finished condition

Agree which surfaces receive heat treatment, grinding, or coating. Clarify final tooth and bore dimensions, masked areas, and post-treatment inspection before machining.

Manufactured by 6CNC

Inspection Follows the Features That Matter

Inspection follows the supplied tooth definition and critical assembly datums. Confirm the required profile, pitch, runout, bore, hardness, and report scope; a linear tolerance alone is not a complete gear acceptance plan.

6CNC inspection laboratory with measuring equipment and machined components

01

Review the drawing

Confirm the material, geometry, critical features, quantity, and acceptance requirements.

02

Agree the route

Plan machining, workholding, any outside treatments, and inspection checkpoints.

03

Machine & finish

Produce the agreed drawing revision and coordinate the specified finishing sequence.

04

Inspect & prepare

Complete the agreed checks, documentation, and packaging for the order.

Before you enquire

Gears Machining FAQ

Can you work from a gear sample alone?

A sample can support a discussion, but manufacturing requires an agreed tooth definition, material, and acceptance requirements. Send drawings and mating information wherever available.

Does the tolerance range specify gear quality?

No. Define the relevant tooth-quality requirements separately, including the inspection standard and the characteristics to be measured.

Do you support gear shafts and integrated features?

Yes. 6CNC reviews integrated shafts, hubs, bores, keyways, and threads with the gear geometry and treatment route.
