Gear Manufacturing
Precision-engineered gears sourced to DIN and ISO standards through our trusted production network. From spur gears to complex worm drives, we deliver reliable power transmission components for industrial machinery and equipment.
Overview
Engineered Power Transmission
MegaMETA supplies a full range of gear types for industrial power transmission applications through our partner network. Available gear production combines CNC hobbing, shaping, and grinding processes to achieve the tooth profiles, surface finishes, and dimensional accuracy required for reliable performance under load.
Every gear we deliver is inspected on dedicated gear measurement equipment, ensuring compliance with DIN and ISO quality grades. We coordinate with your engineering team from the design phase through to delivery, providing technical support on material selection, heat treatment, and gear geometry optimization. Our integrated approach combines a wide scope of partner technologies for cost-efficient production for prototypes, small batches, and series manufacturing.
Gear Types
Full Range of Gear Configurations
Parallel Axis
Spur Gears
Straight-tooth gears for parallel shaft applications. Available in a wide range of modules and tooth counts. The most common and cost-effective gear type for moderate-speed drives.
Parallel Axis
Helical Gears
Angled teeth provide smoother engagement and higher load capacity than spur gears. Ideal for high-speed and high-torque applications where noise reduction is important.
Intersecting Axis
Bevel Gears
Conical gears for transmitting power between intersecting shafts, typically at 90 degrees. Available in straight, spiral, and zerol tooth configurations.
Non-Parallel Axis
Worm Gears
High reduction ratios in a compact package. Self-locking capability for applications requiring holding torque. Worm and worm wheel sets sourced as matched pairs.
Linear Motion
Gear Racks
Linear gear teeth for converting rotary motion to linear movement. Precision-ground racks for CNC machines, automation systems, and positioning equipment.
Custom
Special Profiles
Non-standard tooth profiles, splines, and custom gear geometries engineered to your specific application requirements. Reverse engineering available for obsolete parts.

Manufacturing Processes
How We Source Gears
Our partner gear production facilities combine multiple cutting and finishing processes to achieve the required tooth geometry, surface quality, and dimensional accuracy for each application.
- Gear Hobbing — High-efficiency generation of external spur and helical gear teeth using CNC hobbing machines
- Gear Shaping — Internal and external gear cutting for profiles that cannot be hobbed, including internal ring gears
- Gear Grinding — Profile and generating grinding for tight quality grades (DIN 5 and above) and fine surface finishes
- Gear Honing — Final finishing process for noise reduction and surface quality improvement

Quality & Inspection
Gear Measurement & Verification
Every gear we deliver is inspected on dedicated gear measurement equipment to verify tooth profile, lead, pitch, and runout. We provide full inspection reports documenting compliance with the specified DIN or ISO quality grade.
- Gear profile and lead measurement per DIN 3962/3963
- Pitch and runout verification
- Surface roughness measurement on tooth flanks
- Hardness testing (surface and core)
- CMM dimensional inspection of all non-gear features
- Material certificates (EN 10204 3.1)
Workflow
Gear Production Process
1
Technical Review
We analyze your gear drawing or specification, confirm the quality grade, material, heat treatment, and discuss any design optimization opportunities before coordinating with production partners.
2
Blank Preparation
Gear blanks are turned to specification, including bore, face, and reference diameters. Keyways and splines are cut as required.
3
Tooth Cutting
Gear teeth are generated using hobbing or shaping processes, selected based on the gear type and geometry requirements.
4
Heat Treatment
Gears undergo the specified heat treatment process to achieve the required surface hardness and core toughness.
5
Finishing & Grinding
Hard finishing of tooth flanks by grinding or honing to the final quality grade. Bore and face grinding to final tolerances.
6
Inspection & Delivery
Full gear measurement report generated. Parts are protected, packaged, and shipped with all documentation. Quality control, reliable delivery, and effective communication throughout.
