External Ring Gear Custom Machined From 4140 Steel Heat Treated Precision Ring Gear DIN 6 Standard
Product Spotlights
Henan San Kuang Machinery Technology Co., Ltd. proudly presents our Custom Machined External Ring Gear – a precision-engineered component crafted from premium 4140 steel, subjected to rigorous heat treatment and manufactured to meet the stringent DIN 6 standard. As a dedicated gear manufacturer with over a decade of experience, we combine advanced CNC machining capabilities with strict quality control to deliver ring gears that excel in strength, durability, and dimensional accuracy. Our ring gears are designed for high-torque, heavy-load applications across multiple industries, ensuring seamless power transmission and extended service life.
The 4140 alloy steel provides an excellent balance of toughness, wear resistance, and fatigue strength. Through a carefully controlled heat treatment process (quenching and tempering), we achieve a hardness range of 28–32 HRC, optimizing the gear for demanding environments. Each gear is then precision-machined to meet DIN 6 tolerance class, which guarantees tight runout and pitch accuracy. Whether you need a standard design or a fully custom configuration, our engineering team can adapt to your specific requirements.
Key Features & Technical Specifications
- Material Excellence: 4140 steel (AISI/SAE 4140) – known for high tensile strength (up to 1020 MPa after heat treatment) and good ductility.
- Heat Treatment: Quenched and tempered to achieve uniform hardness; optional case hardening or nitriding available upon request.
- Precision Grade: Manufactured to DIN 6 standard – typical pitch deviation ≤ 0.025 mm and runout ≤ 0.03 mm (dependent on gear size).
- Custom Machining: We can produce external ring gears with module range 1–20 mm, outer diameter up to 2500 mm, and face width up to 400 mm.
- Tooth Finishing: Gear hobbing, shaping, or grinding as required; surface roughness Ra ≤ 0.8 μm achievable on tooth flanks.
- Quality Assurance: 100% dimensional inspection using CMM, gear analyzers, and hardness testers; compliance with ISO 9001:2015 and other standards.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
-
What is the typical lead time for a custom external ring gear?
Lead time depends on complexity and quantity. Standard gears (simple profile, moderate size) are usually 4–6 weeks; larger or more intricate gears may require 8–10 weeks. Contact our sales team for a precise schedule. -
Can you provide ring gears with different heat treatment specifications (e.g., case hardening)?
Yes. While our standard is through-hardened (28–32 HRC), we can perform surface hardening (induction or nitriding) to meet higher wear resistance requirements. Please specify your hardness and case depth needs. -
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for custom gears?
Our MOQ is typically 1 piece for prototyping or urgent replacement. For series production, we can adjust based on material economy. No order is too small for initial samples. -
How do you ensure the gear meets the DIN 6 precision grade?
After machining, each gear is inspected using a CNC gear measuring center and coordinate measuring machine (CMM). Parameters like pitch deviation, radial runout, and tooth thickness are verified against DIN 3962 standards. We provide a certified inspection report with every order. -
Do you offer assistance with gear design or tooth profile improvement?
Absolutely. Our engineering team can review your drawing, suggest modifications to improve load distribution or manufacturability, and even perform 3D modeling and finite element analysis (FEA) upon request. -
What surface treatments are available for corrosion protection?
Common options include black oxide, manganese phosphate, zinc plating, and painting. We can apply any coating that suits your environment. High-temperature or food-grade coatings are also possible. -
Can you produce ring gears with internal splines or mounting holes?
Yes. As a fully custom service, we can incorporate any secondary machining features such as keyways, dowel pin holes, threaded holes, or internal splines directly into the gear blank. -
What payment terms and shipping methods do you accept?
We accept T/T, L/C, and other negotiable terms. For shipment, we work with reliable freight forwarders to deliver via sea, air, or express (DHL/FedEx). Most orders are shipped FOB from Shanghai, Qingdao, Tianjin, or Lianyungang.
