PACIFIC NORTHWEST — August 17, 2026 — Northwest Gear Repair, Inc. is helping industrial facilities address discontinued components and extended OEM lead times through in-house reverse engineering and precision manufacturing of obsolete gears and shafts.
The service supports legacy gearboxes, process machinery, material-handling systems, pumps, and other critical equipment for which original drawings or replacement components may no longer be available. Technicians document the application, inspect the failed component, measure critical geometry, evaluate the mating parts, and identify the failure mechanism before a replacement is manufactured.
Engineering and inspection may include tooth count, pitch, pressure angle, helix angle, face width, bore, keyway, spline, hub, shaft, runout, center-distance, hardness, and material evaluation. The manufacturing plan is developed around the equipment’s load, speed, shock, lubrication, environment, and expected service life.
New components are machined, gear-cut, heat-treated, finished, and inspected for dimensional accuracy, tooth contact, backlash, surface condition, hardness, and fit. When performed as part of a complete rebuild, the company also evaluates bearings, housings, seals, lubrication, alignment, and vibration before verification testing.
