Industry: Motorcycle Manufacturing
Location: Russia
Product Requirement: High-precision gear shafts and drivetrain components for performance motorcycles
The client, a growing Russian motorcycle manufacturer, needed a reliable gear shaft manufacturing partner to supply critical transmission components. Their key requirements included:
Non-Standard Design Compliance
Complex gear profiles with custom tooth modules (1.5-3.0mm)
Tight tolerance (±0.015mm) for smooth meshing with other drivetrain parts
Material & Durability Demands
High-strength alloy steel (20CrMnTi, 4140, or SCM440)
Hardened surface (HRC 58-62) for wear resistance in high-RPM applications
Stable Supply Chain & Fast Turnaround
Initial order: 300 pieces/month with potential scaling
Lead time requirement: ≤30 days from order confirmation
Cost Efficiency Without Sacrificing Quality
Needed 30% cost reduction vs. European suppliers while maintaining ISO-grade precision
Reviewed client’s 3D models (STEP files) and provided DFM (Design for Manufacturing) suggestions to reduce machining costs
Proposed material substitution (from EN36 to 20CrMnTi) for better cost-performance ratio
Conducted FEA simulation to validate load-bearing capacity
Stage | Technology Used | Quality Check |
---|---|---|
Material Cutting | CNC Sawing | Ultrasonic material testing |

Gear Cutting | CNC Gear Hobbing (Gleason machines) | Gear tester (profile/pitch error) |
Κατεργασία με θερμοκρασία | Carburizing & Tempering | Hardness tester (Rockwell scale) |
Τρίψιμο | CNC Cylindrical Grinding | Surface roughness tester (Ra 0.4) |
Dynamic Balancing | High-speed balancing machine | ISO 1940 G2.5 standard |
100% Dimensional Inspection (Mitutoyo CMM)
Metallurgical Lab Testing (Grain structure analysis)
Salt Spray Test (720hrs corrosion resistance validation)
Batch Traceability (QR code tracking per component)
25-day standard lead time (from raw material to finished parts)
DDP Shipping to Moscow with anti-rust VCI packaging
Inventory buffer system to prevent supply chain disruptions
✅ Zero PPM (Defect Rate) in 12-month continuous supply
✅ 22% cost savings vs. client’s previous German supplier
✅ 15% longer service life due to optimized heat treatment
✅ Scaled to 800 pcs/month within 6 months
Client Testimonial:
*”The gear shafts outperformed our OEM parts in durability testing. Their ability to customize both design and material saved us €18,000 annually. We’ve now approved them as Tier-2 supplier for our transmission assembly line.”*
