Gear Manufacturing

Tooth count affects ratio, size, and strength. This guide helps you pick tooth counts using ratio, center distance, and duty cycle for repeatable manufacturing.

Gear ratio sets how a gear pair or train trades speed for torque. Learn quick formulas, common ratio patterns, and RFQ checks from PairGears.

Straight-cut gears are efficient for parallel shafts. This guide covers common types, key pros/limits, main processes, and selection tips from PairGears.

A guide to pinion gears: what "pinion" means, how pinions work in gear and rack systems, common types, key specs, and a fast RFQ checklist from PairGears.

A practical 2026 snapshot of 10 leading gear makers, plus a clear supplier comparison framework and RFQ checklist to speed sourcing with PairGears.

Gear failure often comes from mismatched material, heat treatment, and duty cycle. This guide shows symptoms, root causes, and checks to prevent rework.

Gear shaft basics: definition, operation, common types, key design features, and supplier tips for stable torque transfer and repeatable assembly.
