Engineered product

Gearboxes, designed and cut
in the same building.

Customised and application-specific gearbox solutions for industrial and automotive applications — designed, cut, ground, assembled and inspected in house, with the report to prove it.

Our flagship capability,
built on decades of know-how.

We manufacture customised gearboxes for industrial and automotive applications, from spur, helical and bevel drives through to complete assemblies with housings, shafts and bearings.

Gear cutting is our deepest capability. Ground gears, hob-finish gears, sprockets, spline shafts and timing-belt pulleys are produced on Reishauer grinders and Liebherr, HMT, TOS and WMW hobbing machines that we own and operate ourselves.

Case study / Design + Make

Motion-harvesting gearbox for a UK renewable-energy customer.

The challenge

The customer had a concept their team could not design or source, in-house or through outsourcing. The mechanism converted bi-directional oscillation into uni-directional output — complex to design and harder to manufacture.

Our solution

We designed, simulated and analysed it using 3D solid modelling and CAE, released the BOM with casting and machining drawings, and manufactured the prototypes.

Customer benefit

The gearbox exceeded all quality and performance expectations, first time right, and is now in ongoing supply.
