Capabilities in Aerospace Gear and Spline Manufacturing

Aerospace Gears and Splines

We produce high-performance gears, splines, and other components for a wide range of aerospace systems, including aircraft engines, flight control systems, landing gear, and more. Each component is designed to meet the stringent requirements of the aerospace sector, ensuring optimal performance, durability, and safety in critical applications.

Other Aerospace Components

In addition to gears and splines, we manufacture a range of essential aerospace components such as shafts and couplings. These parts are vital for the smooth operation of aircraft and aerospace systems, ensuring they can withstand the demanding conditions of flight, high speeds, and environmental factors.

Commitment to ISO 9001 Quality Control

As an ISO 9001-certified manufacturer, we apply rigorous quality management practices across every stage of production. This ensures that all our gears, splines, and components meet the highest aerospace standards for performance, durability, and safety.

Key Aerospace Gear and Spline Types

  • Spur Gears – Ideal for power transmission between parallel shafts, ensuring reliable operation in aerospace systems.
  • Helical Gears – Designed for smooth, quiet operation in high-speed, heavy-load applications, commonly found in aircraft engines and control systems.
  • Bevel Gears – Crucial for transmitting power between shafts set at various angles, enabling efficient operation in diverse aerospace mechanisms.
  • Worm Gears – Compact and highly efficient, perfect for space-constrained applications requiring high torque and minimal maintenance.
  • Planetary Gears – Used in lightweight, high-efficiency power transmission systems in aerospace equipment, offering enhanced durability and performance.
  • Splines – Essential for transferring torque between connected components, ensuring secure and reliable connections in aerospace systems like engines and landing gear.

Materials Tailored for Aerospace Durability

Our gears and splines are made from high-strength materials such as stainless steel, titanium, and specialised alloys. These materials are selected for their ability to withstand extreme conditions, including high stress, temperature variations, and vibration, which are common in aerospace environments.

Precision Manufacturing for Critical Aerospace Applications

We utilise precise manufacturing techniques in gear cutting, spline production, and finishing to meet the strictest tolerances. Every part is manufactured to withstand the unique stresses encountered in aerospace systems, ensuring safe and reliable performance in critical applications.
