What Are Gear Blanks?

A gear blank is a solid, CNC-machined piece of material that serves as the foundational starting point for gear production. These blanks are precisely cut to exact dimensions and can be further processed to meet the specific requirements of your application. Gear blanks are essential for industries that demand highly durable and accurate components, and we specialize in crafting blanks that deliver excellent performance in a range of gear applications.

At Camco Precision Machining, we have extensive experience working with a wide variety of materials, including bronze, brass, fatigue-proof steel, stainless steel, carbon steel, aluminum, and more. Whether you need a small gear blank down to below 1/16″ in diameter or large blanks up to 14″, we have the expertise to deliver custom blanks in the exact size and material that your project requires.

CNC and Swiss Machining for Gear Blanks

At Camco Precision Machining, we are a custom gear manufacturer that utilizes CNC machining to produce high-quality gear blanks with both simple and complex features. We offer turned and milled features to ensure each blank meets the precise requirements of our customers, such as gear houses and gear companies. Whether the blanks are straightforward or require intricate geometries, our advanced CNC machining processes ensure accuracy and consistency across every part.

We also utilize Swiss machining for manufacturing the blanks, allowing us to provide high-precision, custom gear blanks for both small and large production runs. Our advanced machinery ensures that we can handle a wide range of sizes and geometries, providing you with blanks that meet your exact specifications.

We work with customers to supply furnished gear blanks that are ready for further processing, meaning we deliver blanks that fit the specifications of your gear manufacturing needs.

Gear Blank Machining Process

Our gear blank machining process is designed to maximize precision and efficiency, ensuring that each blank meets the highest standards of quality. Here’s a breakdown of the steps involved:

Material Handling: We work with materials such as bronze, brass, fatigue-proof steel, stainless steel, carbon steel, and aluminum. Each is selected to best suit your project’s needs for optimal performance.
CNC Machining: Using CNC turning and milling, we produce gear blanks with a variety of features—from simple bores to complex geometries—meeting exact specs for machined gears.
Multi-Spindle Turning: Ideal for high-volume production, our multi-spindle turning reduces cycle times while maintaining high precision, delivering cost-effective manufacturing.
Geometric Control: We ensure parallelism, perpendicularity, and concentricity throughout machining, using GD&T standards to guarantee form and fit requirements are met.
Rigorous Inspection: Every gear blank undergoes dimensional inspection using CMM technology to verify features like diameters, perpendicularity, and runout accuracy.
Fully Custom Blanks: From material to geometry, we manufacture custom gear blanks to your exact specifications for performance, durability, and reliability.
