Custom Cylindrical Gear Manufacturer

Custom Cylindrical Gears for Reliable Parallel-Axis Power Transmission

Belon Gear manufactures custom cylindrical gears and gear sets for industrial transmissions. Select spur, helical, internal or planetary gearing, then define the module or diametral pitch, tooth count, helix angle, material, heat treatment, accuracy, backlash and inspection requirements for the application.

  • Made to customer drawings and operating data
  • Spur, helical, internal and planetary gearing
  • External gears, ring gears and gear shafts
  • Specification-based heat treatment and inspection

Browse Cylindrical Gears by Type

Use the tooth form, shaft arrangement and gearbox architecture to choose the correct family. Each child category below carries the detailed commercial intent, while this page remains the parent hub for custom cylindrical gears.

Spur Gears

Straight teeth parallel to the axis for efficient power transmission, simple geometry and a broad range of speeds and loads.

How to Select a Cylindrical Gear Type

The correct gear family depends on shaft position, noise, speed, load, packaging, ratio and assembly requirements. Final geometry and rating should be checked using the complete operating data.

Gear typeTooth and shaft arrangementTypical selection reasonDesign noteCategory
Spur gear Straight teeth; parallel shafts Efficient, robust and straightforward power transmission Check mesh frequency, noise, backlash and tooth width against speed and load. Spur gears
Helical gear Angled teeth; usually parallel shafts Smoother engagement, reduced noise and increased overlap Specify helix angle and hand; axial thrust must be supported by the bearing arrangement. Helical gears
Internal gear Internal teeth meshing with an external pinion Compact layouts, ring gears and planetary systems Confirm the mating pinion, tooth-number combination, interference limits and inspection method. Internal gears
Planet gear set Sun, planet and internal ring gear system Coaxial input/output, compact ratio and high torque density Treat the sun, planets, ring and carrier geometry as one matched transmission system. Planet gear sets

Custom Cylindrical Gear Manufacturing Options

For a useful quotation, share the drawing or the complete gear and operating specification rather than only the outside diameter.

Gear geometry and operating data

Module or DP, tooth count, pressure angle, helix angle and hand, face width, ratio, speed, torque, duty cycle, backlash and service environment.

Material and heat treatment

Material grade, hardness, case depth, core properties and the required carburizing, nitriding, induction-hardening or through-hardening specification.

Tooth generation and finishing

Hobbing, shaping, skiving, shaving, grinding or other finishing routes selected according to geometry, hardness, accuracy and production requirements.

Inspection and documentation

Define dimensional inspection, profile and lead checks, pitch or runout requirements, material certificates and heat-treatment records on the drawing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What cylindrical gear types can be customized?

Belon Gear offers spur, helical and internal gears as well as planetary gear sets. Products may be supplied as individual gears, matched sets, ring gears or integrated gear-shaft components according to the drawing.

What is the main difference between spur and helical gears?

Spur gears use straight teeth parallel to the axis. Helical gears use angled teeth that engage progressively, which generally supports smoother and quieter operation but also introduces axial thrust that must be considered in the bearing design.

When should an internal gear or planetary set be considered?

Internal gears are useful where an external pinion must mesh inside a ring. A planetary set is considered when the transmission needs coaxial input and output, compact packaging, load sharing or a specific multi-member ratio arrangement.

What information is needed for a cylindrical gear quotation?

Send the drawing or 3D model when available, together with module or DP, tooth count, pressure angle, helix data, material, heat treatment, accuracy, backlash, speed, torque, duty cycle, quantity and inspection requirements.

Can a cylindrical gear be manufactured as part of a shaft?

Yes, many designs use an integral spur or helical pinion shaft. The shaft journals, shoulders, splines, keyways, bearing fits and gear teeth should be reviewed together so machining, heat treatment and inspection datums remain consistent.
