I will engineer custom gearboxes and transmission systems


About this gig
Designing functional gears requires more than just making teeth in CAD. Standard 3D designers often generate visually pleasing gears that jam, overheat, or break under torque because they lack proper involute math, backlash, and load calculations.
As German mechanical engineers, we calculate and design gear systems ready for manufacturing (CNC milling, wire EDM, injection molding, or 3D printing).
What we handle:
- Spur & helical gears
- Planetary / epicyclic gear systems
- Worm gear drives
- Bevel gears
- Cycloidal drives for high-torque robotics
What you receive:
- Accurate Gear Geometry: True mathematical involute profiles, correct profile shifts, and functional backlash for your specific manufacturing process.
- Engineering Reports: Stress, safety factors, and durability calculations based on DIN 3990 / ISO 6336.
- Integrated Design: Selection of standard components (bearings, seals, retaining rings, keys) and custom-machined shafts and housings.
- Manufacturing Data: Native CAD files, STEP

FAQ
Why can't I just 3D-print standard gears downloaded online?
Downloaded models lack defined backlash, tip relief, and proper profile shift. Without clearance calculations tailored to your printer's shrinkage and tolerances, 3D-printed gears will jam or wear out within minutes under load.
What information do you need to start?
Input speed (RPM), input or required output torque, target gear ratio (or speed reduction), space constraints (max. envelope), and your intended manufacturing method.
Can we communicate and specify project requirements in German?
Ja, absolut. Als deutsches Ingenieurteam können alle Briefings, Berechnungsberichte und Zeichnungen vollständig nach DIN/ISO auf Deutsch abgestimmt werden.
