What are the unique advantages of your gear products?

Our gear products have the characteristics of high precision, high durability and high performance.All our products have ready-made molds and tools, which can be produced and delivered quickly.At the same time, we provide customized services and carry out personalized , design and manufacturing according to the specific needs of customers.

How long is the production cycle?

Core Answer For OEM repeat parts with existing tooling/fixtures, our typical production cycle is about 15 days. For custom gears requiring new tooling, samples usually take ~30 days, and mass production typically takes 15–30 days, depending on specifications and approval steps. Note: In manufacturing, lead time usually includes setup/changeover, processing, waiting between operations, and final inspection—so it will vary with process route and inspection scope. Typical Timelines Order Type What It Means Typical Timing OEM / repeat production Tooling and process route already validated ~15 days Custom gear – samples New tooling/fixtures/cutters + first-article inspection ~30 days Custom gear – mass production After sample approval (and PPAP if required) 15–30 days What Can Change The Timeline • Tooling status: new cutters/fixtures/gauges required or not (new tooling adds time)• Process route: heat treatment + grinding + gear inspection steps (more steps = longer cycle)• Quality/approval requirements: FAI, full dimensional report, gear profile/lead report, PPAP submission level (if required)• Order volume & schedule slot: batch size and capacity reservation on critical processes (heat treat / grinding / gear inspection) How We Keep Lead Time On Track • Lock drawing revision and confirm critical characteristics before release• Milestone schedule: tooling/DFM → sample → approval → mass production (owners + checkpoints)• Capacity reservation on bottleneck operations (heat treatment, grinding, gear inspection)• First-article approval before batch release, and QA sign-off before shipmentLock drawing revision and confirm critical characteristics before release What We Need From You To Confirm Lead Time Quickly • Drawing/3D (or sample) + material & heat treatment requirement• Gear spec: module/DP, teeth, accuracy grade (ISO/DIN/AGMA), hardness/case depth target• Quantity (trial + annual volume) and target Incoterms (FOB/DDP)• Any required documents: COC/material cert/heat-treat report/gear measurement charts/PPAP Send your drawing/specs and quantity plan—we’ll confirm the exact lead time and a milestone schedule in the quotation.

What is PairGears' production capacity?

Core Answer PairGears’ typical monthly production capacity is up to 1,000,000 gear and shaft pieces. Actual deliverable output depends on part mix, process route, bottleneck operations, and inspection scope, so we confirm capacity after reviewing your specs and schedule. What “production capacity” Means Production capacity generally refers to the maximum output a factory can produce over a defined time period under normal operating conditions, given available machines, labor, and resources. What Your Available Capacity Depends On Even with a stated monthly capacity, real scheduling depends on:• Part mix & complexity (gear type, size, tolerance, finishing requirement)• Process route (e.g., heat treatment + grinding + gear measurement adds time and resource load)• Bottleneck operations (when one step cannot keep up, it limits total throughput)• Inspection/documentation scope (FAI, gear profile/lead reports, PPAP if required) How We Protect Delivery We manage capacity and delivery through a controlled plan:• Lock drawing revision & critical characteristics• Confirm process route & inspection pack• Reserve capacity on critical processes (e.g., heat treatment / grinding / gear inspection)• First-article approval before batch release + QA sign-off before shipment Quick Reference Table Item Standard statement What it means for your order Monthly capacity Up to 1,000,000 gears & shafts / month Sufficient for repeat orders and ramp-ups (subject to mix & schedule) Urgent orders Supportable when a slot is available We confirm by part route + quantity + required documents Capacity confirmation After spec review Ensures the promised timeline matches bottlenecks & QC scope Send your drawing/specs + quantity plan + target delivery term (FOB/DDP). We will confirm available capacity slot and provide a delivery milestone plan in the quotation.
