Beyond custom gear manufacturing, Rochester Gear provides a comprehensive suite of services. Our capabilities include reverse engineering of existing components, bevel gear design using advanced Gleason systems, and in-depth gear inspection with our state-of-the-art GMM analyzer. We are an ISO 9001:2015 certified manufacturer.

No, we do not maintain a public inventory of gears for sale. As a made-to-order gear manufacturer, we produce every part based on customer-supplied prints and specifications. For established, routine orders, we can maintain an inventory as a value-added service. We also offer engineering and design services to help with your project from concept to completion.

Lead times for custom gear fabrication typically range from 8 to 20 weeks. Simpler projects, such as cut-teeth-only (CTO), have a shorter lead time of approximately 4-8 weeks. Complex projects requiring additional outside operations may take 8-20 weeks. We are committed to on-time delivery without compromising quality.

We do not have a minimum quantity for custom part orders. While a higher quantity generally results in a lower per-piece price, we evaluate each new project individually, with a focus on delivering high-quality, precise parts regardless of the order size.

A Cut-Teeth-Only (CTO) project is a service where customers provide us with their pre-machined blanks or partially finished parts. Rochester Gear then performs the final gear cutting operations to complete the project to the customer’s exact specifications.

Yes, we are proud to support future engineers and offer assistance to collegiate teams, including Baja or Formula SAE, and First Robotic Clubs. We evaluate each project on a case-by-case basis. We encourage teams to contact us as early as possible to discuss project scope and lead time requirements.
