Kleiss Gears specializes in the custom design and manufacture of injection-molded polymer gears with a full range of gearing services including design, tooling, molding, inspection, gear testing and prototyping. As a result of over 20+ years experience researching and developing polymer gears, we have advanced the traditional science of gearing to get the most out of modern polymer materials - resulting in precision gears that are stronger, lighter, quieter and more cost effective than traditional gearing methods.
As an ISO 9001:2000 certified manufacturer, Kleiss Gears partners with our clients to custom design gears for the unique application. We don't just manufacture a gear - we manufacture a total system that works as designed, every time. Our four step approach to gearing includes:
1. Design – our unique Shape Optimized Gear Design™ produces gears that are custom designed for their intended use, solving design challenges such as power transfer, strength, noise and weight.
2. Tooling – our tooling is cut for precision, correcting for non-linear shrinkage, and made for longevity.
3. Molding – we practice the science of repeatable precision molding, ensuring accuracy to within 0.0254 millimeter (0.001 inch).
4. Inspection – we’ve invested in the equipment and developed the software to accurately measure the variables of molded polymer gears, guaranteeing that the gears will do everything that we intend for them to do.
Kleiss Gears proves the suitability of the gear design with prototyping and gear testing services. By cutting a prototype of the gear from the selected material prior to tooling for full production, we can then test the gear in our lab to evaluate its performance under the expected operating conditions such as duty cycle, physical and chemical environments, tooth flank temperature and stiffness - saving time and resources by identifying the strengths and weaknesses of their gear before putting into the final application.
