A BROAD RANGE OF GEAR TYPES

We make spur gears, helical gears, internal gears, worm gears, splines, and complex gear sets, covering gear, spline, sprocket, worm and worm gear, and serration tooth forms.

Spur Gears

External and internal spur gears. Diametral pitch and module. Hobbed and precision ground to AGMA 15. Prototype through high-volume production.

Spur Gear Details →
Helical Gears

External helical gears with controlled helix angle. Ground and hobbed. Low noise, high load capacity. Ideal for high-speed gearboxes and servo drives.

Helical Gear Details →
Worm Gears

Worm and worm gear sets. Bronze and steel. High reduction ratios in compact envelope. Manufactured for medical motion systems, packaging, and industrial applications.

Worm Gear Details →
Internal Gears

Ring gears and internal spur gears for planetary gear systems and epicyclic drives. CNC shaped with controlled involute profile to tight tolerances.

Internal Gear Details →
Splines, Shafts & Pinions

Pinions and pinion shafts, internal and external splines, spline shafts, gear and worm shafts, sprockets, pulleys, and serrations, hardened and ground to your print.

Component Details →
Gear Assemblies

Gearbox and mechanical sub-assemblies built to print. We put the whole unit together and test it, for customers who want a complete assembly rather than loose parts.

PROTOTYPE THROUGH HIGH-VOLUME PRODUCTION

INSCO works with customers from a single prototype gear through full production. Carousel-loaded, fully automated CNC hobbers and grinders produce blanket-order quantities up to 100,000 gears annually, while our extensive in-house tooling library and on-site hob and cutter sharpening keep lead times short and consistent.

Gear quality starts with the blank, so we hold blank tolerances to a few ten-thousandths of an inch, even at 36 inches in diameter. Gears are rough-hobbed for finish grinding or hobbed complete to AGMA 10, with finish grinding up to AGMA 15. High-volume cells run under full Statistical Process Control with networked gear-inspection data collection.
