FAQ : 01 Manufacturing & Processing

Q What is the maximum size of large gears you can manufacture?

A Ueda Heavy Gear Works Ltd. specializes in manufacturing large gears. Whether we can accommodate a request depends on factors such as outer diameter, tooth width, module, material, weight, and processing details, so please share your drawings or specifications with us for confirmation.
Q Can I consult you about different gear types, such as spur or helical gears?

A Yes. We welcome inquiries based on the gear shape, application, and required precision. Whether we can manufacture it depends on the tooth profile, module, pressure angle, material, and heat treatment conditions, which we confirm before providing an answer.
Q Can I consult you about large gears other companies have said are difficult to machine?

A Yes, that is possible. Large gears can be difficult to handle due to constraints in size, precision, or processing steps, but Ueda Heavy Gear Works Ltd. draws on the technology and equipment we have built up over the years to explore a way to accommodate your request.
Q Can I request a single gear, or a gear for repair or replacement purposes?

A Whether we can accommodate this depends on the product specifications and processing details, but we also welcome inquiries about single-unit production or gears needed for equipment replacement. If you have existing drawings or information about the current part, please share them with us as well.

FAQ : 02 Quality & Precision

Q Can you handle gears for drive units that require high precision?

A Yes. Gears used in the drive units of industrial machinery and production equipment are required to provide smooth power transmission and durability. At Ueda Heavy Gear Works Ltd., we proceed with manufacturing while confirming precision and quality according to the application and load conditions.
Q Can you also handle finishing and grinding after gear cutting?

A Depending on the product specifications, we handle each process, including gear cutting, finishing, and grinding. We confirm the required processing details and finishing precision based on your drawings and specifications before providing guidance.
Q Can you manufacture gears with a specified material or heat treatment condition?

A Yes, we can accommodate requests with a specified material or heat treatment condition. Since the strength and durability of a gear vary depending on the material, heat treatment, finishing precision, and operating environment, we determine whether we can accommodate your request after confirming the specifications.
Q How is inspection and quality confirmation carried out after manufacturing?

A Depending on the product specifications and required precision, we perform checks at each process step and quality confirmation using inspection equipment. We are committed to consistent quality control from processing through inspection, to achieve the precision required of the gear.

FAQ : 03 Consultation & Quotes

Q What information is required when requesting a quote?

A Please provide drawings, specifications, material, quantity, application, desired delivery date, and whether heat treatment or surface treatment is required. Documentation showing the gear specifications and required precision allows for a smoother review.
Q Can I still consult you if the drawings are old or some specifications are unclear?

A Yes. Even if the drawings are old or some information is missing, you are welcome to consult us using whatever documentation is available. If information is missing, we will organize the items that need to be confirmed and guide you accordingly.
Q Can I consult you about manufacturing on a short delivery schedule?

A Delivery times vary depending on the product size, processing details, quantity, material procurement, and whether heat treatment or finishing processes are required. Even for urgent requests, please share your specifications and desired delivery date first, and we will confirm whether we can accommodate it.
Q Can design, procurement, or production engineering staff consult with you directly?

A Yes. We accept inquiries directly from staff in various departments, including feasibility checks at the design stage, quote consultations during procurement, and gear manufacturing requests related to production equipment upgrades or maintenance.
