Introduction

Custom Precision Machining for Complex Gearbox Housings

Custom Precision Machining for Complex Gearbox Housings

Large gearbox housings require precise bearing bore alignment, flat sealing surfaces, and controlled wall thickness. Maintaining coaxiality between shafts and ensuring smooth assembly fit are key challenges.

At DEK, we use multi-axis CNC boring and milling centers, combined with rigid fixturing, to maintain bore-to-bore positional accuracy within ±0.01 mm. Sealing faces are precision milled and surface-finished to meet required Ra values.

Our inspection process includes CMM verification of shaft alignment, surface roughness measurement, and thread gauging, ensuring every housing meets functional requirements before shipment.

Gearbox Housings Buying FAQs

We review your drawings, tolerances, and material before selecting the best machining route. Submit files via quote form.
Housing size, bore tolerances, surface finish requirements, and post-treatments all impact cycle time and fixturing cost.
For simple housings, 7–10 days; complex multi-bore housings, 15–20 days, including CMM inspection.
Yes, CMM verifies coaxiality ≤0.02 mm. Our fixtures are designed for stable alignment during machining.
Standard CMM report, surface roughness data, and thread gauge results. Request full FAI if needed.
Yes, from 1 unit to small batches, ideal for repair or prototype builds.
Commonly cast aluminum, ductile iron, and steel alloys; heat treatment optional.
Custom wood crates with internal bracing to protect bores and flanges during transport.
Yes, but we recommend a 2D drawing for tolerance details. Upload both for faster review.
Yes. All files are protected, and NDAs can be signed on request.
