Precision Gear Grinding

Utilising Kapp Gear Grinding we can provide precision ground gears to meet the tightest of tolerances. With the capability of producing DIN 4 gears in production, we enable our customers to achieve exceptional NVH levels in EV transmission designs.

Point Icon

Helical Shaping

Offering both external and internal helical shaping with recently increased capacity and the latest shaping manufacturing technology. Significant increase in demand for our proprietary planetary transmission design alongside customer solutions has seen significant developments in optimising helical-shaped gears, particularly in EV.

Point Icon

Bevel Grinding

Due to the significant investment made in Bevel manufacturing capabilities, we can offer high-precision soft and finish machining of Duplex Taper design spiral bevels for a variety of applications. The closed loop systems enable economical manufacture of gears up to 600mm diameter and quality to Din 4.

Point Icon

Gear Cutting

Operating a range of Gleason hobbing assets, we have developed a significant range of gear cutting manufacturing capabilities to ensure we can offer our customer a manufactured solution for most parallel axis gear requirements.

Point Icon

Mass Volume Capability

Through the UK products and supply chain teams, access to our TS16949 accredited mass volume plants within the Group offers unrivalled cost leadership on mass volume transmission assemblies and components. With significant instilled capacity we can offer significant benefits with world-class quality to our customers.

Point Icon

Assembly & EOL

With World class assembly facilities and testing capability, we offer full assemblies with full traceability assembled by our experienced transmission technicians.

Point Icon

Heat treatment and Cryogenics

In-house sealed quench and tempering furnaces with electronically controlled and monitored protocols, Cryogenics can also be offered, allowing us to reduce lead times and assure quality.

Point Icon

Rapid Prototype

Leveraging many years spent producing for top level motorsports, we have the ability to design, manufacturing and verify complex parts in compressed lead times to support OEM’s increasing desire to be first to market.
