SAVE BIG WITH GEARBOX REVERSE ENGINEERING
Is your gearbox out of service because critical components are worn, damaged, obsolete, or no longer available from the OEM? Gearbox reverse engineering provides a faster, more cost-effective alternative to replacing the entire unit or waiting months for hard-to-source parts.
Houston Pump & Gear specializes in reverse engineering gearbox parts for obsolete and damaged equipment. Our engineers analyze existing components, drawings, or partial samples to manufacture replacement obsolete gearbox parts to precise specifications.
The result is a reliable gearbox rebuild to OEM specs that gets your equipment back in service without the cost and lead time of a new gearbox.
WHAT IS GEARBOX REVERSE ENGINEERING?
Gearbox reverse engineering is the process of disassembling a gearbox and carefully analyzing its components to determine their original dimensions, materials, tolerances, and design requirements. This allows our engineers to recreate worn, damaged, or obsolete gearbox parts when OEM replacements are no longer available.
After reverse engineering gearbox parts, we manufacture the required replacement components and rebuild the unit to restore proper fit and function. The result is a reliable gearbox rebuild to OEM specs, with components manufactured to the precise dimensions and tolerances required for your application.

FAQ
Here are answers to the questions we hear most about gearbox reverse engineering.
What is gearbox reverse engineering?
Gearbox reverse engineering is the process of breaking a gearbox down into its core components, measuring and analyzing each one, and recreating the parts to the exact specifications of the original equipment. It lets you restore a gearbox to like-new, OEM-standard condition even when parts are damaged, worn, or no longer available to buy.
Can you make parts for a gearbox that's no longer manufactured?
Yes. HP&G specializes in recreating components for outdated, discontinued, and no-longer-supported gearboxes. Using your complete part, a portion of it, or a spec or CAD drawing, our engineers reverse engineer and manufacture replacement parts to original tolerances, even when the OEM no longer offers them.
How long does gearbox reverse engineering take?
Most projects are completed in weeks, not the 6–12 months increasingly common with OEM replacements and consolidated repair providers. Exact timing depends on the complexity of the gearbox and the condition of the parts, and we provide a clear scope and estimate before work begins.
What information do you need to start?
Send us a spec sheet, a CAD drawing, or a sample of the original part, whether it’s complete or partial. Our engineers inspect the gearbox or component to determine manufacturing requirements, then provide a scope of work and an affordable estimate before any parts are made.
What gearbox brands and types do you reverse engineer?
We service all makes and models of gearboxes, speed reducers, speed increasers, and reduction drives, including brands such as Lufkin, Falk, Flender, Western Gear, Philadelphia Gear, Foote-Jones, Amarillo, Horsburgh & Scott, Lightnin, and Marley. If your equipment isn’t listed, we can still help.
