Capabilities

Overton Gear offers precision custom Spur & Helical Gear cutting and grinding and Bevel Gear cutting and hard finishing. We're always looking for new ways to meet our customers' gearing needs. See our newest capabilities below.

Capabilities

Our fifteen state-of-the-art Gear Tooth Grinders provide the versatility to perform both generative and form grinding, including CBN Grinding. Over 100 machine tools – most NC or CNC controlled – allow us to control turning, milling, drilling, broaching, hobbing, shaping, and grinding for improved efficiency.

All of our gears are manufactured to customers' predetermined specifications. Let our sales and engineering personnel assist you in transferring your design from blueprints to cost-effective manufacturing.

Carburizing Furnace Systems
Overton is adding two new vertical pit furnaces. These state-of-the-art carburizing systems:

Employ the latest U.S. and European technologies
Accept work pieces up to 80" in diameter and 100" long
Have four controlled heating zones to ensure consistent and uniform results
Continuously monitor the entire carburizing process
Can display the actual carburizing profile via carbon content in real-time
Have rapid cooling systems that cool both the retort and workload

84" Quench Press
Our new 84" diameter Quench Press is possibly the largest in the world.

Custom designed and manufactured
Hydraulic cylinder applies pressure to clamp the gear flat while the expander ram applies hydraulic pressure to hold the gear concentric
Minimizes distortion during the hardening process
Gives hardened gears more uniform stock removal during post heat machining
