Outsourcing custom gears, gear assemblies, and sprocket products from Commercial Gear & Sprocket Co. offers manufacturing companies a range of compelling benefits. Based in East Walpole, Massachusetts, this third-generation, family-owned business has over 70 years of expertise, delivering precision-engineered solutions to industries worldwide. Here’s why partnering with them pays off:

First, expertise and quality shine through. Commercial Gear & Sprocket Co. crafts high-quality bevel gears, helical gears, worm gears, spur gears, and sprockets using advanced machining techniques like hobbing and thread milling. Their rigorous quality control—aligned with ISO 9002 and AGMA standards—ensures parts like rack-and-pinion sets or jaw clutches meet exact specs, reducing defects and enhancing reliability for applications in construction, defense, or medical equipment.

Second, cost efficiency is a win. By outsourcing, you skip the hefty investment in CNC lathes, milling machines, or trained machinists—costs that can exceed $500,000 for an in-house setup. Commercial Gear’s state-of-the-art facility, featuring tools like the Doosan Lynx 220LMS, handles everything from prototyping to high-volume runs, saving you overhead while delivering on time.

Third, customization and flexibility set them apart. Whether it’s a unique spline for a rock drill or a timing pulley for power tools, their engineers tailor solutions to your needs, offering materials from steel to bronze and finishes like heat treating. This adaptability boosts product performance without you managing complex design shifts.

Fourth, faster turnaround keeps you competitive. With decades of experience and a stocked inventory of U.S. Tsubaki chains and sprockets, they expedite delivery—crucial for industries like mass transit or mining facing tight schedules. A marine pump maker, for instance, saw smoother operations after Commercial Gear fixed noisy gears fast.

Finally, focus on core strengths frees you up. Outsourcing to Commercial Gear lets you prioritize innovation or sales while they handle gear cutting and assembly. Their proven track record—solving binding issues for a rock drill builder or outfitting a machine tool firm—means you get dependable parts without the hassle.

From cost savings to precision craftsmanship, Commercial Gear & Sprocket Co. delivers value that’s hard to match in-house—making outsourcing a smart move for your next project.
