Gear Re-Profiling

We specialize in the restoration of traction (bull) gears. Our Cubic Boron Nitride (CBN) grinding procedure restores the proper involute tooth form for proper gear contact. By removing minimal stock to restore the profile, the restored surface has sufficient hardness and case depth to extend gear life. Typically, we grind in increments of 0.015”, or approximately 3% of tooth thickness.

As a general rule, we recommend re-profiling gear teeth to industry standards when wear exceeds 0.010” of tooth profile. Our re-profiled gears come with 12-month warranties on the profiles only.
