Client Profile

Industry: Motorcycle Manufacturing
Location: Russia
Product Requirement: High-precision gear shafts and drivetrain components for performance motorcycles

Customer Challenges & Procurement Needs

The client, a growing Russian motorcycle manufacturer, needed a reliable gear shaft manufacturing partner to supply critical transmission components. Their key requirements included:

  1. 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

  2. Material & Durability Demands

    • High-strength alloy steel (20CrMnTi, 4140, or SCM440)

    • Hardened surface (HRC 58-62) for wear resistance in high-RPM applications

  3. Stable Supply Chain & Fast Turnaround

    • Initial order: 300 pieces/month with potential scaling

    • Lead time requirement: ≤30 days from order confirmation

  4. Cost Efficiency Without Sacrificing Quality

    • Needed 30% cost reduction vs. European suppliers while maintaining ISO-grade precision


Our Custom Gear Shaft Manufacturing Solution

1. Technical Consultation & Design Optimization

  • 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

2. Precision Machining Process Flow

3. Quality Assurance Protocol

  • 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)

4. Logistics & Supply Chain Management

  • 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


Results Delivered

✅ 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.”*
