⚙Product Spotlight ⚙ This part is one of the smallest gears we’ve ever manufactured at just .400" long and .600" in diameter. Made from pre-hardened 4140 steel at 28-34 HRC, this 20DP, 10-tooth gear features two precisely ground hubs held to within .0005" to ensure accuracy during hobbing. It’s another example of how we deliver high-precision components no matter the scale.

Precision that takes off ✈✈✈ These aerospace spline coupling may be just over half an inch in diameter, but their complexity tells a much bigger story. Machined from heat treated H11 tool steel, each part features precision wire-cut internal splines and a clean electropolished finish to remove EDM recast. Despite their size, these components pack a serious level of complexity and are a great example of the tight tolerances and high standards we deliver every day.

Another precision part in progress-- machined from 17-4 stainless steel and heat treated to Condition H1075 featuring an internal spline, this one’s a perfect fit in more ways than one. After heat treat, this part goes through passivation and MPI to ensure strength and integrity. Designed to fit with an external spline this one also features a cut slot to allow it to flex and clamp tightly to the mating component. Mostly mill work, except for the spline itself, which we shape in-house, our capabilities really shine through.

Two gears, one mission: precision in every step. This 13-8PH stainless steel part starts with a normalizing process to reduce the risk of distorting later on. We then turn the net shape, leaving two hubs oversized. The finer 64DP gear teeth are shaped first due to tool clearance limits, followed by hobbing the larger 48DP gear. After initial shaping, the part is core hardened to 34 HRC. Then we turn the hubs for final size before sending it for a nitriding treatment.

Precision in action! ✨ This CNC broaching process cuts a splined bore one tooth at a time. Using a custom insert, the broaching head moves up and down, shaving off just .010” with each pass until we reach the final depth of .150”-.200” per tooth! ⚙️ Though it takes time, this method lets us achieve the deep, clean splines that the customer specified for. 💥 #CNCBroaching #ManufacturingMagic #MachiningProcess #SplineCoupling #HomeMadeManufacturing #PrecisionProducts #Innovation
