Gear capabilities
The Rhino Gear team works with small and midsized OEM manufacturers across many industries to provide the reliable gearing that keeps operations running smoothly.
CNC gear hobbing and CNC gear shaping
Gears are cut in-house on our CNC and manual hobbing and shaping machines, with a second CNC hobber, an Eifco, on order, so we control quality and schedule from blank to finished gear.
- CNC hobbing: external spur and helical gears, worm gears, external splines and sprockets
- CNC shaping: internal (ring) gears, internal splines, and gears cut close to a shoulder or in cluster gears
- Broaching for keyways and internal forms
- Prototype, repair and production quantities
