Precision Gears Manufacturer UK | Custom Gear Solutions

Precision Gears for High-Performance Industrial Applications

 

In today’s competitive industry, precision gears are essential for efficient mechanical transmission, smooth operation and long-term reliability. At Schultech, we specialise in the design and manufacture of high-quality gear solutions tailored to demanding applications across various industries in the UK.

 

As an experienced gear manufacturer, we combine engineering expertise, advanced CNC gear technology and strict ISO quality control to deliver a complete range of precision gears for industrial and aerospace sectors.

 

What Are Precision Gears?

 

A precision gear is a mechanical component designed to transmit torque and motion between rotating shafts with controlled backlash, optimised tooth geometry and defined tolerance. The purpose of a precision gear is to ensure accurate torque transmission, reduced friction and maximum durability.

 

Precision gears are used in industrial machinery, aerospace systems, automotive gearboxes and automated machine assemblies where high precision and reliability are critical.

 

Our Range of Precision Gears

 

We offer a comprehensive range of standard and custom gear solutions, covering multiple gear types for different industrial applications.

 

Spur Gears

 

Spur gears are the most common gear type, featuring straight gear teeth parallel to the shaft. A spur configuration is ideal for simple, efficient power transmission. We manufacture spur gears using advanced gear cutting and gear grinding processes to achieve precise tooth profiles and optimal accuracy.

 

Helical and Helical Gears

 

Helical gears provide smoother and quieter operation compared to spur designs. The angled tooth structure improves load distribution and reduces vibration. Our helical gear solutions are suitable for high-speed gearboxes and high load transmission systems.

 

Bevel and Spiral Bevel Gears

 

Bevel gears are used where shafts intersect, typically at 90 degrees. We produce straight bevel, spiral bevel and hypoid gear systems depending on application requirements. Spiral bevel designs offer smoother engagement, while straight bevel gears provide cost-effective solutions. These systems are widely used in demanding applications requiring high torque control.

 

Worm Gear Solutions

 

For compact, high reduction systems, a worm gear is often selected. This configuration allows smooth operation and precise motion control, especially in lifting or positioning application environments.

 

Precision Gear Manufacturing Process

 

Our gear manufacturing capabilities combine traditional engineering with advanced CNC technology.

We provide:

 

• CNC gear machining

• Gear cutting and gear grinding

• Controlled heat treatment processes

• Surface finishing for reduced friction

• High-precision inspection for guaranteed tolerance

 

During the manufacture of precision components, we carefully grind the tooth surfaces to minimise backlash and improve durability. Every gear design is optimised to meet specific requirements, including load capacity, torque, speed and environmental conditions.

 

Materials and Quality Standards

 

We manufacture gears from high-quality materials including alloy steels and stainless steel for corrosion resistance and extended service life.

All production follows strict ISO standards to ensure accuracy, reliability and consistency. Our high-precision inspection systems verify every gear component before delivery.

 

Custom Gear Solutions

 

In addition to our range of standard products, we offer custom gear solutions for specialised machinery and industrial applications.
