Specialized Gear Services
Specialized Gear Services
Application Engineering Services
Our engineers combine an expertise in gear design, manufacturing, processing, testing, assembly, and solving field problems. Gleason offers the complete package. We design and evaluate gears using Gleason software such as Tooth Contact Analysis (TCA), Under Cut Study, Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and 3-D flank form Generation.
In addition our Specialized Gear Services Group works with customers to develop prototypes which are evaluated for performance and further manufacturing process improvements. We also support pre-production and small lot production runs while you prepare for larger lot production runs at your facility.
Heat Treat
The Gleason Heat Treat facility provides our expertise in a variety of Heat Treat processes including carburizing, carbo-nitriding, normalizing and sub-zero treatments for bevel gears, cylindrical gears, and other components. Use of our Gleason Quenching equipment minimizes dimensional distortion and part variation. Our Metallurgical laboratory is capable of verifying the integrity of material structures before or after the Heat Treat process. Additionally, we have the capability to provide failure analysis services.
Bevel and Cylindrical Gear Engineering and Production
Gleason is recognized as the world leader in gear production machinery and tooling. We have the right Gleason equipment and expertise to provide you with high quality bevel and cylindrical gears for any application, from spur and helical gears, to straight bevels, spiral bevels and Hypoids, from the soft to the hard, whatever the process including cutting, lapping, grinding, and testing.
Curvic® Couplings
Gleason designed, developed and patented the Curvic® Coupling, along with the machines that produce the unique Curvic Coupling tooth form. We have unique expertise and comprehensive resources allowing us to provide Master, and Curvic Couplings – everything from the initial special design to manufacture including precision grinding, inspection and certification. Gleason can provide the same expertise for those customers seeking to upgrade an existing Gleason-Hurth serration coupling design to the higher precision and accuracy of Gleason Curvic Couplings.
Metrology
Gleason can validate your gears using the latest metrology equipment and inspection techniques. We can inspect and certify all types of gears from cylindrical, bevel and hypoid, worms and worm gears, special tooth forms such as Curvic Coupling, etc. We have the capability to perform elemental inspection checks, single flank and double flank composite checks and structure-borne noise analysis.
