At Brewer Machine & Gear Co., we specialize in manufacturing precision gears that deliver dependable performance for industrial power transmission and motion control applications. We engineer our gears with careful attention to material selection, tooth geometry, and machining accuracy, ensuring reliable operation under demanding loads and operating conditions. Our experience supporting a wide range of industries allows us to produce gears that balance strength, efficiency, and long service life.

We partner closely with customers from initial design review through final production, offering engineering support, custom machining, and thorough quality verification at every stage. Our capabilities extend into prototype development, small and large production runs, and the manufacture of complex gear configurations built to exact specifications. By combining skilled craftsmanship with modern equipment and responsive service, we deliver gear solutions that help customers maintain performance, reduce downtime, and achieve consistent results in their equipment.

Gears Power Pages

Bevel Gears

A bevel gear is a toothed rotating machine element used to transfer mechanical energy or shaft power between shafts that are intersecting, either perpendicular or at an angle. This results in a change in the axis of rotation of the shaft power…

Helical Gears

A gear is a particular kind of simple machine that controls the strength or direction of a force. A gear train is made up of multiple gears that are combined and connected by their teeth. These gear trains allow energy to move from…

Planetary Gears

A planetary gear is an epicyclic gear that consists of a central gear, referred to as the sun gear and serves as the input gear, which has three or more gears that rotate around it that are referred to as planets. The planet gears engage with a ring gear that encircles the sun…

Plastic Gears

A plastic gear is a toothed wheel made up of engineering plastic materials that work with others to alter the relation between the speed of an engine and the speed of the driven parts. The engineering plastic materials used in manufacturing plastic gears can be…

Spur Gears

A spur gear is a cylindrical toothed gear with teeth that are parallel to the shaft and is used to transfer mechanical motion and control speed, power, and torque between shafts. They are the most popular types of cylindrical gears and…

Worm Gears

A worm gear is a staggered shaft gear that creates motion between shafts using threads that are cut into a cylindrical bar to provide speed reduction. The combination of a worm wheel and worm are the components of a worm gear…

Types of Gears

A rotary circular machine with a tooth in its structure and is used to transfer torque and speed from one shaft to another is called a gear. Gears are also known as cogs and have cut teeth in the cogwheel or gear wheel…

Ball Screws

Ball screws are mechanical linear actuators that consist of a screw shaft and a nut that contain a ball that rolls between their matching helical grooves. The primary function of ball screws is to convert rotational motion to linear motion…

Lead Screw

A lead screw is a kind of mechanical linear actuator that converts rotational motion into linear motion. Its operation relies on the sliding of the screw shaft and the nut threads with no ball bearings between them…
