Industrial Gearmotor Gear & Shaft Solutions
A German drivetrain customer specializing in motor production, gear manufacturing/gearbox construction, and automation visited PairGears to verify machining and quality control capability, then started a multi-SKU supply program for industrial drive components.
To keep delivery predictable across many part numbers, we aligned on a simple workflow: drawing exchange → sample confirmation → standardized inspection evidence → weekly/Monday-style progress reporting.
1. Customer & Application
The customer is a German drive-technology company whose public materials describe capabilities across motors, gear manufacturing/gearbox construction, and automation, serving machine and drive technology applications.
This case focuses on industrial gearmotor / reducer components, where stable geometry and consistent inspection evidence help reduce unit-to-unit variation in assembly performance.
2. Project Scope
The program includes multiple part numbers, and the three parts shown below are representative high-volume styles within the project (for publication we present them as examples, not the full BOM).
3. What the Customer Needed
From the factory visit discussions, the customer's focus was on:
• Process transparency: clear view of machining, heat treatment, and batch consistency controls
• Quality evidence suitable for European applications: tooth geometry checks, runout checks, hardness/metallurgy where required
• Delivery predictability across multiple part numbers, supported by a simple recurring progress report (Monday report style)
4. How We Delivered
4.1 On-site verification & alignment
During the visit, the customer toured machining and gear production areas—turning, hobbing/shaping, grinding and heat treatment—then reviewed how we control key steps for repeatable gear performance.
4.2 Standardized inspection evidence
To support multi-SKU supply, we provide inspection evidence that matches the customer's incoming QC needs. PairGears' inspection services cover dimensional checks and gear-quality verification with professional testing capability.
4.3 Weekly / Monday report for delivery visibility
To reduce communication friction when the customer is tracking many part numbers, we aligned on a simple reporting routine that separates "in production" vs "shipped" items—so both sides can update quickly and reduce follow-up lag.
5. Project Challenges & How We Solved Them
| Project Challenge | What Could Go Wrong | How We Solved It |
| Multi-SKU program management | Missed priorities or unclear dispatch status | We used a recurring update report (Monday-style) to keep production vs shipment status visible. |
| Evidence expectations for EU customers | Extra back-and-forth if reports aren’t standardized | We standardized report outputs (dimension + tooth geometry examples + material cert where required). |
| Batch-to-batch consistency | Unit-to-unit performance scatter | We aligned manufacturing steps and QC checkpoints, consistent with what was shown during the factory tour. |
6. Results & Next Steps
1 )The factory visit strengthened trust and enabled launch of the industrial drive component program, consistent with PairGears'published visit summary.
2 )The customer expressed willingness to expand cooperation after reviewing processes and QC controls.
3 )2026 annual framework order value: €400,000.
FAQ
1. What products does this industrial program include?
It covers multiple gear/shaft part numbers for gear motors and reducer assemblies. The photos shown are representative high-volume styles.
2. What information do you need to quote industrial gear/shaft parts?
Drawings (PDF/STEP), material & heat treat requirements, tolerance notes, quantity per SKU, and target lead time.
3. Can you provide inspection reports for incoming QC?
Yes. We can provide redacted inspection evidence including dimensional reports and gear geometry records as required.
4. How do you support multi-SKU delivery tracking?
We can align on a simple weekly/Monday report structure separating “in production” and “shipped” lines.
5. Do you support samples before volume supply?
Yes—sample development and confirmation is a standard step before stable batch delivery.
6. What industries do you support beyond industrial machinery?
PairGears also supplies gears and shafts for agricultural machinery, trucks, construction equipment, and EV drivetrains.
