Explore our core product lines below to learn more about the precision components we manufacture and how we can help bring your design to production.
Custom Gear Manufacturing
We offer complete custom gear manufacturing services for small, high-precision applications. Our advanced powder metallurgy process enables us to create compact gears that have exceptional dimensional accuracy and wear resistance.
The small and miniature gears we manufacture are commonly used in motion control systems, medical devices, and small motors where quiet and efficient operation is required. Some custom gear types we provide include:
- Fine pitch gears
- Planetary gear drives
- Spinlock and timing gears
- And more
Miniature Fine Pitch Gears
We engineer our miniature fine pitch gears for precision motion control and compact assemblies. These gears are well-suited for applications that require precise tooth engagement and minimal backlash, such as timing mechanisms, actuators, and instrumentation systems.
Some of the ways they are used include:
- Precision actuators
- Optical and medical devices
- Small motors and control systems
- Robotics and instrumentation assemblies
Small Planetary Gear Drives
Small planetary gear drives deliver compact power transmission with high torque and efficiency. Allied Sinterings produces complete gear systems or individual components such as sun gears, ring gears, and carriers.
These gear drives are frequently used in electric actuators, medical devices, and industrial automation equipment where space and precision are key. Benefits of our planetary gear drives include:
- Compact design for space-limited systems
- High torque output with smooth motion
- Excellent load distribution across gears
- Consistent performance at high rotational speeds
Spinlocks and Timing Gears
We precision-engineer spinlocks and timing gears for locking, indexing, and synchronization functions in mechanical systems. The components are manufactured using high-strength sintered metal, and they can maintain tight tolerances and dependable engagement over extended lifecycles.
Applications include:
- Medical instruments
- Motion control assemblies
- Micro-actuation systems
- Timers and detonators
Sintered Stainless Steel Parts
We manufacture sintered stainless steel components that combine corrosion resistance with superior strength and dimensional accuracy. These components perform reliably in harsh environments found in aerospace, medical, and marine applications.
Available capabilities include:
- Controlled density for tailored mechanical strength
- Post-processing (machining, heat treating, and impregnation)
- Optional surface finishing for enhanced corrosion resistance
- Available in grades 300 and 400 series stainless steel
Structural Components
Small and miniature structural components deliver exceptional performance where strength and stability are required. Allied Sinterings produces a wide variety of structural parts, including brackets, levers, and housings.
Powder metallurgy enables cost-effective production of parts with high structural integrity, even for intricate shapes. Some of their key advantages include:
- High-dimensional accuracy for complex designs
- Uniform strength through powder metallurgy
- Cost-effective production for medium- to high-volume runs
Igniter/Initiator Components
Allied Sinterings produces precision initiator components for aerospace and automotive safety systems such as for airbag deployment. We design these parts for absolute reliability under critical conditions. Their controlled porosity, material uniformity, and rougher surface texture support consistent ignition performance.
