Belon Gear is proud to announce the successful completion of a high precision custom bevel gear project for a renowned mining equipment manufacturer in North America. This achievement underscores our expertise in reverse engineering from drawings or physical samples, ensuring our clients in the mining industry receive durable, accurate, and performance optimized gear solutions.
Project Background
Our client a leading name in the mining equipment sector required a specialized bevel gear to replace a critical transmission component in their heavy duty machinery. The original part was no longer available from the OEM, creating the need for a fully customized solution. Belon Gear was chosen for our proven ability to deliver precision-crafted gears that meet or exceed original specifications, even in complex reverse engineering scenarios.
Reverse Engineering from Drawings or Samples
The process began with the client providing technical drawings and a physical gear sample. Our engineering team conducted comprehensive dimensional analysis using advanced coordinate measuring machines (CMM) and 3D scanning technology. Every tooth profile, helix angle, and material specification was carefully mapped to ensure the recreated bevel gear would integrate seamlessly into the existing gearbox assembly.
We also performed metallurgical testing on the original part to identify its material composition, hardness, and heat-treatment characteristics. This allowed us to match the performance properties of the original gear, ensuring reliability in the demanding conditions of mining operations, where heavy loads, dust, and vibration are constant challenges.
Manufacturing Excellence
Using high grade alloy steel and advanced CNC bevel gear cutting machines, we manufactured the new gear with tooth accuracy up to DIN 7–8 standards. Precision heat treatment was applied to optimize hardness and wear resistance, followed by grinding and quality inspection to ensure smooth meshing and extended service life. Our Klingelnberg gear measuring center verified every dimension, confirming the gear met strict tolerance requirements.
Benefits for the Client
The new custom bevel gear was installed successfully, restoring full operational capacity to the mining equipment. By providing a reverse-engineered replacement, we helped the client avoid costly downtime, extend the life of their machinery, and eliminate dependence on unavailable OEM parts. The gear’s enhanced durability also reduces maintenance frequency, lowering overall operational costs.
Commitment to the Mining Industry
This project further reinforces Belon Gear’s position as a trusted partner for the mining equipment industry in North America. We understand that mining operations demand rugged, dependable, and precisely engineered components. Our ability to reverse engineer from either technical drawings or physical samples allows us to deliver tailored gear solutions for even the most challenging applications.
