Frequently Asked Questions

A gear shaft is a mechanical component that combines a shaft with integrated gear teeth or gear profiles. It serves as both a rotating shaft and a gear element, providing power transmission and speed/torque conversion in mechanical systems.

The four main types of gears are: 1) Spur gears - straight teeth parallel to the shaft axis, 2) Helical gears - angled teeth for smoother operation, 3) Bevel gears - conical shape for intersecting shafts, 4) Worm gears - screw-like teeth for high reduction ratios.

There are several types of shafts including: transmission shafts, machine shafts, spindle shafts, counter shafts, line shafts, flexible shafts, and gear shafts. Each type is designed for specific applications and load requirements.

Gear shafts are typically made from alloy steels (4140, 4340), carbon steels (1045, 1144), or stainless steels (303, 304, 316). Material selection depends on load requirements, operating environment, and performance specifications.

We ensure gear shaft quality through precision machining, heat treatment, surface hardening, and comprehensive inspection. Our process includes dimensional verification, hardness testing, and performance validation to meet AGMA and ISO standards.

Yes, Partsproto specializes in custom gear shaft manufacturing. Our engineering team can design and produce gear shafts with custom profiles, specific gear ratios, and tailored specifications for your unique application requirements.

Gear shaft manufacturing typically takes 3-6 weeks depending on complexity. This includes design review, material procurement, gear cutting, heat treatment, grinding, and quality inspection. Rush orders may be accommodated when possible.
