Gear types by Kleiss Gears:

Engineering - Design

At Kleiss Gears, we have created our own design software and developed Shape Optimized Gears Design™, which maximizes contact and strength.  Our engineers precisely correct for shrinkage and select the best material for your gear function, based on expected loads, operation speed, environment, required gear life, noise and vibration.  One example of our success is our precision worm gear design.  We design worm gears through complete 3-dimensional control of conjugate surfaces to correct for the unique non-linear shrinkage in worm gears.  We then confirm the proper shape with custom 3-dimensional inspection.

Quality custom design by Kleiss Gears enhances the other advantages of using polymers rather than metal, including manufacturing flexibility, light weight, chemical resistance, low cost, no need for lubrication, and low noise.
