We manufacture custom gears to your specifications for industrial machines and other applications in various industries. Whether you are ordering more gear stock, replacing a custom gear, or in an emergency breakdown and repair situation, WDB will manufacture your custom gears to your specifications and deliver them quickly.
TYPES OF CUSTOM GEARS WE MANUFACTURE
Spur Gears
Spur gears are the most common type of gear, known for their simplicity, high efficiency, and straight teeth.
They are cost-effective to manufacture, operate at 95–99% efficiency, and transmit power between parallel shafts.
Spur gears are used for speed reduction, torque multiplication, and precise timing in industrial and mechanical systems.
Common Spur Gear Applications:
Automotive: transmissions, differential gears, gear pumps, oil pumps
Industrial Machinery: gearboxes, conveyors, pumps, compressors, machine tools
Aerospace: flight control systems, engines, landing gear systems
Power Generation: wind turbines, hydroelectric systems
Rack & Pinion Systems: steering assemblies, actuators, lifting mechanisms
WDB can manufacture custom spur gears to your exact specifications.

Bevel Gears
Bevel gears transmit power between intersecting shafts, commonly at 90 degrees.
Two main types include Straight Bevel Gears and Spiral Bevel Gears. Straight bevel gears feature straight teeth, while spiral bevel gears use curved teeth for smoother, quieter operation.
Common Bevel Gear Applications:
Automotive: differential drives, rear axles
Heavy Equipment: conveyors, material handling drives, machinery
Aerospace: helicopter transmissions, actuators
Marine: thrusters, stern drives
Railroad: gearboxes and differentials
WDB can manufacture custom bevel gears to your exact specifications.

Worm Gears
Worm gears transmit power between non-intersecting shafts, typically at 90 degrees.
They provide high reduction ratios, significant torque multiplication, and self-locking capability.
Self-Locking Applications:
Elevators & Lifts: brake-like holding without power
Winches & Hoists: secure load holding
Automated Gates: prevents forced opening
High-Reduction Applications:
Conveyor Systems
Industrial Mixers
Rotary Tables
WDB can manufacture custom worm gears to your exact specifications.

Helical Gears
Helical gears provide smooth, quiet operation with superior load capacity due to their angled teeth.
They are used for high-speed, high-load industrial applications.
Parallel Helical Gears:
Single Helical – angled teeth requiring thrust bearings
Double Helical (Herringbone) – opposing teeth cancel axial thrust
Crossed Helical Gears: used for non-parallel, non-intersecting shafts
Left-Handed & Right-Handed Helical Gears:
Left-hand meshes with right-hand on parallel shafts, and vice versa
WDB can manufacture custom helical gears to your specifications.
Contact us today.
Herringbone Gears
Herringbone gears combine left- and right-handed helical teeth to eliminate axial thrust, making them ideal for high-load industrial applications.
Their “V” pattern allows smooth, quiet, powerful operation.
WDB manufactures custom helical and herringbone gears to your specifications.

Rack and Pinion Gears
Rack and pinion systems convert rotational motion into linear motion.
The rack is a straight gear bar; the pinion is a round gear that drives it.
Common Applications:
Automotive Steering
Rack Railways
CNC Machinery
Linear Actuators
Lifting & Positioning Systems
Valve Control
WDB manufactures custom rack-and-pinion systems to your specifications.
