Gear and Transmission Repair for Machines, Equipment, and Special-Purpose Machines
We support companies in the repair of gears, gearbox components, and toothed parts. In doing so, we don’t just examine the visible damage—we analyze the root cause. In many cases, it becomes clear that a simple repair isn’t the most cost-effective solution. Instead, targeted remanufacturing or design modifications can significantly extend the service life.
Whether it’s worn gear shafts, damaged internal gear teeth, defective spur gears, or spare parts that are no longer available: We develop solutions for machine builders, maintenance engineers, operators of industrial plants, and companies in the agricultural and construction machinery sectors.
Repair of Damaged Gearboxes, Gears, and Machine Components
Typical situations include:
Particularly in the case of gears, gear shafts, splined shafts, or special tooth profiles, it is worth conducting a technical inspection before making significant investments in new assemblies.
One-Stop Service for Transmission Repair and Gear Restoration
Depending on the specific situation, different solutions may be appropriate:
Repair of Transmission Parts
Replacement of Damaged Components
Gear Repair
Manufacturing of New Gear Components
Repair of Internal Gears
Replacement of Gear Shafts
Repair of Splined Shafts
Manufacturing of New Spur Gears
From our project discussions with our customers, we know that often the damage itself is not the biggest problem—rather, it is the question of how to find a cost-effective and durable solution.
Benefits of Professional Gear Repair and Remanufacturing
These include:
Many of our customers initially come to us with a defective component and ultimately receive a solution that not only restores it to its original condition but also addresses the weaknesses of the previous design.

Spare Parts Manufacturing for Special-Purpose Machines
We frequently receive inquiries about machines for which the manufacturers can no longer supply replacement parts.
In such cases, we analyze existing components, prototype parts, or old drawings and use them to develop a technically suitable solution.
Another area in which we regularly receive inquiries is oval gears and non-circular gears. These specialty components are used, for example, in packaging machines or specialized drive systems, and often cannot be procured on the open market on short notice.
Gear Repair and Spare Parts Manufacturing with Over 25 Years of Experience
For more than 25 years, we have been specializing in gear technology, CNC machining, and the manufacture of complex mechanical components.
Our areas of focus include, among others:
We have extensive experience, particularly in the field of gear hobbing. This enables us to manufacture many gear sets in-house and respond flexibly to individual requirements.
Our clients include companies from:
In addition, there are numerous projects involving older machines and systems for which standard solutions are no longer available.
Repairing Gears and Gear Teeth: Why a Technical Analysis Is Crucial
Much of the damage to gears does not occur by chance.
Often, the causes run deeper:
That is why we do not view a repair in isolation.
Before we begin, we check:
It often turns out that minor adjustments to the design can prevent future failures.
Gear Repair and Transmission Repair
By combining gear cutting technology, CNC machining, and spare part manufacturing, even complex damage can be repaired cost-effectively.
Whether it’s damaged gears, worn gear shafts, defective internal gearings, or complete transmission components: We help companies keep their machines and systems operational in the long term.
Especially with older machines, custom-built systems, and spare parts that are no longer available, a technically well-thought-out repair often opens up possibilities that aren’t apparent at first glance.
Request a Gear Repair
You can use our contact form to send us drawings, photos, technical data, or existing sample parts.
Together, we’ll assess the feasibility and develop a cost-effective solution for your application.
The earlier we are involved in the process, the greater the chances of reducing downtime and avoiding follow-up costs.
Questions About Gear and Transmission Repairs
Can every gear be repaired?
Not every damaged gear can be repaired cost-effectively. The type and extent of the damage, the material, the operational loads, and the geometry of the gear teeth are all critical factors. In many cases, manufacturing a replacement is more cost-effective and technically sound than a complex repair. That is why we review each inquiry individually and recommend the most appropriate solution.
Is it possible to repair a transmission even without technical drawings?
Yes. Especially with older machines, the drawings are often no longer available. In such cases, existing gears, shafts, or other components can serve as templates. By measuring the geometry and analyzing the tooth profile, it is often possible to determine all the necessary data for a repair or remanufacture.
What types of damage occur most frequently in gears?
The most common types of damage include wear on the tooth flanks, material spalling, surface damage, deformation, and damage caused by overload. However, visible damage is often merely the result of other underlying causes. That is why we always consider the entire system and not just the individual component.
Can special-tooth and internal gears also be repaired?
Yes. Especially when it comes to internal gears, snap-fit gears, custom profiles, and special gear shapes, standard solutions are often unavailable. Thanks to our experience in gear technology, we can analyze, reproduce, or replace many of these components.
When is it better to repair something rather than buy a new one?
Repair is particularly worthwhile when the machine can still be used economically, replacement parts are difficult to obtain, or there is a risk of long delivery times. Often, a targeted repair or remanufacturing can result in significant cost savings compared to purchasing a completely new system.
Can gears for older machines also be reproduced?
Yes. The reproduction of gears for older machines is one of the most common applications. Even if manufacturers no longer exist or no longer supply replacement parts, existing sample parts can often serve as the basis for new production.
How quickly can a gear repair be completed?
The turnaround time depends on the complexity, material, size, and any necessary preparatory work. After reviewing the documentation or sample parts, we can assess the effort involved and provide a realistic estimate of feasibility and delivery time.
Which industries rely on gear repairs most frequently?
We receive inquiries particularly frequently from the mechanical engineering, plant engineering, packaging technology, material handling, agricultural machinery, and construction machinery sectors, as well as from general industry. Wherever machine downtime results in high costs, rapid repair or replacement plays a crucial role.
