Custom gears are an important part of all machinery used in various sectors such as oil & gas, construction, ship building, automotive industries, and heavy manufacturing. In countries such as UAE, where industries need accuracy, reliability, and international standards, custom gear production is an important engineering service.
At Bright Side Steel, we have specialized in providing highly precise geared solutions based on specific operational requirements. In this article, a detailed explanation will be provided on how custom gear manufacturing in UAE takes place.
Custom gear production can be referred to as designing and manufacturing gears according to predefined specifications provided by clients without using standard sizes. Such gears are designed based on distinct load, torque, speed ratio, and operating environments.
In UAE, customized gears are widely used in:
As most industries in the UAE have to function in very hot, pressurized, and endlessly loaded environments, Off-the-shelf gears can sometimes prove insufficient. Customized gears are always a better option.
Kinds of Gears Produced in UAE
Customized gear production in the UAE encompasses different kinds of gears such as:
Spur Gears – For parallel shafts & high efficiency applications
Helical Gears – Reduced noise and increased load-carrying capability
Bevel gears – For angular power transmission
Worm Gears – High torque and speed reduction
Rack and Pinion Gears – Linear motion systems
Planetary Gears – Compact and high-performance gearboxes
At Bright Side Steel, gears are designed based on a given application requirement, operating conditions, and standards.
Preparation of design parameters
Requirement Analysis & Engineering Consultation
The whole starts with an insight into clients’ requirements. Engineers examine:
Load and Torque Requirements
Where:
Speed ratios
Speed
Operating temperature
Environment Exposure (dust, corrosion, water)
Mounting and space requirements
Such a phase is important for ensuring that the equipment functions properly in UAE industrial settings.
Gear Design & CAD Modeling
With the aid of sophisticated CAD and CAM computer software, engineers have produced accurate designs of gears in both 2D and 3D formats. These designs involve
Tooth Profile Geometry
Tooth
Pitch diameter and module
PTC530
Pressure Angle and Helix Angle
As in most Tolerance calculations
Backlash calculations
Design validation will make sure that the gears are globally compliant with ISO, AGMA, and DIN standards, which have acceptance in UAE manufacturing industries.
Material Selection
Materials have a direct effect on gear performance and life. Usually, materials in custom gear production UAE include:
In oil & gas and heavy industry segments, alloy steel with high fatigue strength and wear resistance is considered preferable.
After completing designs and specifications, a production stage using CNC machines ensues. The production processes include:
One major benefit of CNC machining is accuracy, which is very important for making gears.
Heat treatment improves mechanical properties such as hardness, wear resistance, and fatigue life. Some of these include:
Quenching & Tempering
In the case of gears used in harsh environments in UAE, heat treatment is a critical factor in order to resist heavy loads and withstand operational cycles.
Grinding & Finishing
Grinding of gears increases accuracy of teeth and finish. Noise, vibration, and friction are reduced in this process, especially when working with high-speed gears.
Finishing operations can also include:
Quality Inspection & Testing
Quality control is a very important stage in the production of custom-made gears. The gears undergo inspection in the following ways:
Every gear at Bright Side Steel is tested for quality to fulfill UAE industrial standards as well as international standards.
The UAE industry environment is in need of reliable performance because of:
Such an approach is especially important in oil & gas, maritime, and infrastructure industries.
Examples of industries where Custom Gear Manufacturing can undertake projects:
Bright Side Steel serves a broad array of industries in UAE, such as:
