When a gearbox fails, the problem is often traced back to worn, damaged, or obsolete gears. Replacing the entire gearbox isn’t always necessary, or cost-effective. Houston Pump & Gear provides custom gear cutting services to help restore industrial gearboxes, reduce downtime, and extend equipment life. Whether you need a replacement gear for a discontinued OEM unit, a reverse-engineered component, or a precision-cut gear built to your exact specifications, our team can help. From emergency repairs to planned rebuilds, we manufacture high-quality gears designed to get your equipment back in service quickly and reliably.

What is Custom Gear Cutting?

Gears are integral to the transmission of movement between two systems. Custom gear cutting is the process of producing gear products to fit your exact specifications. The typical steps include hobbing, broaching, milling, and grinding. These services are especially popular with customers who need:
  • A specific part
  • A part from a gearbox manufacturer that is no longer manufactured or obsolete
  • Quick turnaround
  • A particular brand of gear (and they don’t want to invest in buying the part directly from the manufacturer)

Whether you’re looking for a spur, helical, herringbone, worm gear, or another type of gear or gearbox type, or gearbox manufacturer, our experts are ready to discuss your needs!

FAQs

What are gear cutting services?

Gear cutting services create or replace gears by machining teeth, profiles, bores, keyways, and other features needed for the gear to operate properly inside a gearbox or mechanical drive system.

Yes. Custom gear cutting can be used when OEM replacement gears are discontinued, delayed, or unavailable. HP&G can inspect or reverse engineer the damaged gear to help produce a replacement.

Precision gear cutting supports gearbox repair by creating replacement gears for worn, broken, or damaged internal components. This can help restore gearbox performance without replacing the entire gearbox.

Yes. HP&G is based in Houston, Texas, but supports industrial gearbox repair and gear cutting needs for customers across the U.S. and internationally.
