Precision Forged & CNC Machined External Spur Gears
External spur gears are widely used in industrial transmission systems where efficient power transfer, stable speed ratios, and long service life are required. At Weforging, we manufacture custom external spur gears based on customer drawings and technical specifications, combining closed die forging, precision CNC machining, heat treatment, and comprehensive inspection under one production system.
Whether the project requires a prototype, low-volume replacement parts, or long-term production, our engineering team works closely with customers to optimize manufacturability, material selection, and production efficiency while maintaining consistent quality throughout every batch.

- 42CrMo
- 40Cr
- AISI 4140
- AISI 4340
- 8620 Alloy Steel
- Carbon Steel
- Stainless Steel
Available heat treatment options:
- Carburizing
- Quenching & Tempering
- Nitriding
- Induction Hardening
- Normalizing
If material or heat treatment has not yet been specified, our engineering team can recommend a suitable solution based on your application and performance requirements.
Manufacturing Process & Capabilities
Every external spur gear is manufactured through a controlled process to ensure consistent quality, dimensional accuracy, and reliable performance.
- Closed Die Forging – Produces dense, high-strength gear blanks.
- CNC Machining – Machines critical dimensions before gear cutting.
- Gear Hobbing / Shaping – Generates accurate tooth profiles to drawing requirements.
- Heat Treatment – Improves hardness, wear resistance, and fatigue life.
- Gear Grinding (Optional) – Provides higher tooth accuracy and smoother operation.
- Final Inspection – Verifies dimensions, hardness, and quality before shipment.
From forging to final inspection, all key processes are managed in-house to ensure consistent quality and reliable delivery.
Precision Inspection & Quality Assurance
Every external spur gear is inspected before shipment to ensure compliance with customer drawings and quality requirements.
Inspection capabilities include:
- CMM Inspection – Accurate dimensional verification.
- Gear Measurement – Tooth profile, lead, and runout inspection.
