At JK Pulley & Manufacturing, we are experts in handling a wide range of gear types, including:

An example of gear cutting, gear hobbing

  • Spur gears. Also known as straight-cut gears, spur gears are among the most commonly used and ideal for applications requiring simple, efficient power transmission.
  • Helical gears. With their angled teeth, helical gears provide smoother, quieter operation compared to spur gears, making them ideal for high-speed or high-load applications.
  • Pinion gears. Essential for applications like vehicle drivetrains and other systems requiring high torque, our precision-cut pinion gears are crafted to meet the most demanding specifications.

Our facility is capable of producing gears of various configurations and sizes tailored to each customer’s unique requirements. This flexibility allows us to provide fully custom solutions that integrate seamlessly whether you need gear hobbing, broaching, milling, grinding, or skiving.
