Solving Common Gear Design Problems
Service Detail from Gear Motions, Inc.
Gear Engineering
Gear Motions has extensive experience in gear engineering and design, which is why clients approach us when they are looking for a unique solution to their gear manufacturing needs. From Inspiration to Realization, we will work closely with your team to provide expert engineering support throughout the design process. Our inside design services and SolidWorks CAD software give us incredible engineering support and capabilities to provide a range of gear engineering services. These services include:
Reverse Engineering
Reverse engineering can be a useful technique to solve a number of common gear design problems. This practice can be used to determine the gear geometry of an old, worn out gear that needs replacing, or to recreate a gear when the original drawings are not available. The process of reverse engineering includes deconstructing a gear or assembly in order to evaluate and analyze it. Using advanced measuring and inspection tools, our experienced engineering team uses this process to determine the exact gear geometry of your gear. From there, we can create a copy of the original, and handle full manufacturing of your gears.
Design For Manufacturability
When it comes to large-scale production, gear engineering and design is crucial. Design for Manufacturability is the process of designing or engineering products so they are easy to manufacture. This process allows potential problems to be discovered early on in the design phase, which is the least costly time to fix them. For gear design, careful consideration must be put into precise gear geometry, strength, materials used, alignment and more. Gear Motions has extensive experience in gear design for manufacturability and will work with you to ensure important factors such as cost, quality, reliability, and speed-to-market are optimized to meet your design and production goals.
Prototyping
Prototype gears are often needed during new product development to prove the effectiveness of a design. As a custom gear manufacturer, Gear Motions has the capabilities to design and manufacture prototype gears that adhere to strict customer requirements. We can assist in gear design, or work from your drawings to produce the exact gear prototype you need. When a standard gear simply won’t work, you can feel confident in turning to our prototyping department for a unique solution.
Redesign
Rather than start from scratch, Gear Motions gives you the ability to redesign gears – even if we did not manufacture the original. Whether your gears need only small improvements, or a complete redesign, our engineering and production teams will work with you to improve gear quality.
We’ve helped countless customers create the exact solutions they need, and we’d love the opportunity to do the same for you. Please contact us to learn more about our gear engineering services.

At Gear Motions, precision is about more than just high quality gears. It means completely understanding our customer’s needs and expectations, and utilizing the best people, processes and tools to exceed them.
Gear Motions
When you think of precision products, think Gear Motions. We began as multiple different gear manufacturing companies: Nixon Gear in Syracuse, NY; Oliver Gear/Pro-Gear in Buffalo, NY and Niagara Gear in Buffalo, NY. Today, we have combined forces to bring you the Gear Motions network, the leading precision gear manufacturer of custom cut and ground gears.
With over a century of gear manufacturing experience, Gear Motions has amassed an extensive portfolio of gear production capabilities. Our precision ground or cut helical and spur gears, and cut sprockets, splines, straight bevel gears and worm gears, are proudly Made in the USA, and are built using equipment that can accommodate virtually any customer request. Whether your project requires services such as full design, prototyping, pre-production and production of gears, Gear Motions has the expertise to handle every step of the gear manufacturing process to meet your needs.
