The machinery manufacturing industry is a broad engineering field focused on developing specialized equipment for the production, handling, processing, and automation requirements of various industries. Since every machine has different operating principles, load requirements, motion systems, and mechanical designs, its power transmission components must also be engineered according to the specific requirements of the project.

Gears, gear shafts, rack and pinion systems, sprockets, and timing pulleys are among the fundamental mechanical components used in many machine designs.

At Erdişli Makina, we manufacture gears and custom power transmission components according to technical drawings for machinery manufacturers.

From prototypes and custom machinery projects to series production, and from non-standard gears to complete gear pairs, we provide manufacturing solutions tailored to different project requirements.

The Importance of Gears in Machinery Manufacturing

When designing a machine's motion system, the power and movement generated by the motor must be transmitted appropriately to the working mechanism.

Gear systems can be used to:

• Change rotational speed

• Increase or decrease torque

• Change the direction of motion

• Convert rotary motion into linear motion

• Transmit motion between shafts

• Provide synchronized motion

For this reason, not only the physical dimensions of a gear but also its function within the overall system should be considered during the design and manufacturing process.

Gear Manufacturing According to Technical Drawings

We manufacture custom gears according to technical drawings prepared by the engineering and design departments of machinery manufacturers.

Depending on project requirements, production can be carried out based on parameters such as:

• Gear type

• Module

• Number of teeth

• Pressure angle

• Face width

• Helix angle and direction

• External dimensions

• Hub design

• Shaft bore

• Keyway

• Material

• Heat treatment requirements

This allows machinery manufacturers to use custom power transmission components specifically designed for their machines rather than being limited to standard catalog products.

Types of Gears We Manufacture

We offer a wide range of gear manufacturing solutions for the diverse requirements of the machinery manufacturing industry.

Our production range includes:

• Spur gears

• Helical gears

• Bevel gears

• Sprockets

• Timing pulleys

• Worms and worm wheels

• Bronze gears

• Cast polyamide gears

• Rack gears

• Pinion gears

• Gear shafts

• Custom-made gears

Depending on the application, individual gears as well as mating gear pairs and other power transmission components can be manufactured as part of the project.

Gear Manufacturing from Ø20 mm to Ø1300 mm

Gear dimensions used in machinery manufacturing can vary considerably, from small automation mechanisms to heavy industrial machinery.

Within our manufacturing capabilities, Erdişli Makina produces gears ranging from Ø20 mm to Ø1300 mm in diameter.

This wide manufacturing range enables us to provide solutions for projects ranging from small gears used in compact machinery to large industrial systems designed for high-power transmission.

Spur and Helical Gear Solutions

Spur and helical gears are among the most widely used power transmission components in machinery design.

Spur gears can be used to transmit motion between parallel shafts with their simple and robust construction.

Helical gears, with their gradual tooth engagement, can provide smoother and quieter operation in suitable applications.

Operating speed, transmitted torque, noise requirements, and the geometric structure of the machine can be evaluated to determine the appropriate gear solution for the project.

Bevel Gear Solutions

Bevel gears can be used in machine designs where motion must be transmitted between different axes.

They provide an important mechanical solution particularly in applications where the direction of motion must be changed between intersecting shafts.

Bevel gears can be manufactured according to technical drawings and the specific requirements of the machine design.

Rack and Pinion Systems

Rack and pinion systems are used in machine designs where rotary motion needs to be converted into linear motion.

These systems can be used particularly in:

• CNC machines

• Gantry systems

• Automation machinery

• Positioning systems

• Cutting machines

• Material handling mechanisms

• Custom motion systems

The rack and its mating pinion can be manufactured together according to the project's technical drawings.

Sprocket Manufacturing

Chain drive systems are among the economical, durable, and widely used motion transmission solutions in machinery manufacturing.

Sprockets can be manufactured with different numbers of teeth, diameters, hub designs, and connection features according to the chain type and technical requirements of the machine.

Custom-sized sprockets can be manufactured according to technical drawings to suit the specific machine design.

Timing Pulley Manufacturing

Timing belt drive systems can be used in machines requiring synchronized motion.

In suitable applications, timing systems provide positive, slip-free transmission, helping maintain synchronization between different mechanisms within the machine.

Custom timing pulleys with different dimensions and connection configurations can be manufactured for machinery manufacturers' projects.

Worm and Worm Wheel Systems

Worm and worm wheel systems may be preferred in certain machine designs where high reduction ratios are required within a compact mechanism.

Depending on the application, combinations such as a steel worm and bronze worm wheel can be used.

Worms and worm wheels can be manufactured according to technical drawings and the operating requirements of the machine.

Gear Shaft and Pinion Shaft Manufacturing

In some machine designs, manufacturing the gear and shaft as a single component may be preferred instead of mounting a separate gear onto the shaft.

These components are commonly referred to as gear shafts or pinion shafts.

An integrated design can provide advantages in suitable applications, including:

• More compact construction

• Reduced number of connection components

• High torque transmission capability

• Reduced backlash at the gear-to-shaft connection

At Erdişli Makina, we manufacture spur and helical gear shafts as well as custom pinion shafts according to technical drawings.

Cast Polyamide and Bronze Gear Solutions

Not every machinery application requires steel gears.

In suitable applications where quiet operation, low weight, or specific friction characteristics are important, cast polyamide gears can be used.

Bronze gears, particularly bronze worm wheels, may be preferred in certain mechanisms involving sliding contact.

Material selection should be evaluated according to machine load, operating speed, temperature, and environmental conditions.

Prototype and New Machinery Projects

Newly developed machinery may require non-standard gears and mechanical components during the initial manufacturing stage.

At Erdişli Makina, we manufacture custom gears according to technical drawings for machinery manufacturers involved in:

• New product development

• Prototype machinery

• Custom machinery

• R&D projects

• Machine development

• Modernization projects

From the prototype stage through to final machine production, the required gears and power transmission components can be evaluated according to the technical requirements of the project.

Solutions for Custom Machinery Manufacturing

The use of non-standard mechanical components is common in custom machinery developed for manufacturing requirements that cannot be met by standard equipment.

For custom-designed machines, we can manufacture:

• Custom-module gears

• Custom-hub gears

• Stepped gear shafts

• Rack and pinion systems

• Custom sprockets

• Timing pulleys

• Worm and worm wheel sets

• Power transmission components with keyways

This allows components to be manufactured specifically for the project rather than requiring the machine design to be adapted to standard off-the-shelf products.

Gear Manufacturing from Existing Samples

Spare part requirements may arise not only during new machinery projects but also as part of the after-sales services provided by machinery manufacturers.

A gear from an older machine without an available technical drawing can be evaluated and reproduced using the existing component as a sample.

Parameters such as:

• Gear type

• Module

• Number of teeth

• Tooth geometry

• Shaft and hub dimensions

• Keyway

• Material properties

can be determined from the sample and used for reproduction.

Machine Overhaul and Modernization Projects

Overhaul and modernization projects may be carried out to increase the production capacity of older machinery, adapt equipment for different products, or renew existing mechanical systems.

These projects may require existing gear systems to be modified or entirely new power transmission mechanisms to be developed.

Custom gears and mechanical components manufactured according to technical drawings can support the adaptation of existing machinery to new operating requirements.

Material Options

The material used for gears in machinery manufacturing should be selected according to the technical requirements of the application.

Depending on the project, materials may include:

• 4140

• 8620

• 1040

• 17CrNiMo6

• Bronze

• Cast Polyamide

• Aluminum

as well as other materials suitable for the project's technical requirements.

Transmitted torque, operating speed, impact loads, operating temperature, service duration, and the characteristics of mating gears should be considered when selecting the appropriate material.

Heat Treatment Options

For gears operating continuously or under high loads, it may be necessary to improve the mechanical properties of the tooth surfaces.

Depending on the application and material requirements, heat treatment methods such as:

carburizing, induction hardening, and nitriding

may be considered.

The appropriate combination of material and heat treatment is intended to provide mechanical properties suitable for the operating conditions and improve component service life.

Spare Part Support for Machinery Manufacturers

Long-term spare part availability is an important aspect of after-sales service for machinery manufacturers.

The ability to reproduce gears used in previously manufactured machines from technical drawings or existing samples can help manufacturers provide long-term spare part support to their customers.
