Case

A well-known industrial equipment manufacturer in Europe was facing challenges with the precision and durability of its cutting machines. The gears in their system suffered from rapid wear under continuous heavy-duty cycles, leading to frequent downtime and increased maintenance costs. This directly impacted production efficiency and customer satisfaction.

DDGear provided a tailored solution by developing custom small-module spur and helical gears optimized for cutting machine applications. Using carburized alloy steel with precision grinding, the gears achieved ISO Class 4 accuracy, ensuring minimal backlash and excellent load distribution. Advanced surface finishing and optimized tooth geometry reduced vibration and noise, allowing the machines to run more smoothly.

After integrating DDGear’s gears, the client reported a 40% increase in gear lifespan, reduced unplanned downtime, and improved cutting accuracy. The machines became more reliable for high-volume industrial use, giving the manufacturer a competitive edge in both quality and operational efficiency
