Gearbox Build Process
Not all gearboxes are created equal—and neither are gearbox suppliers. At CEM Industrial Supply, we don’t just swap out a unit and call it a day. We custom-build, test, and optimize gearboxes for each customer’s application.
Here’s how we do it.
Step 1: Application Review
We start by understanding your system. Torque, speed, mounting orientation, motor specs, shaft dimensions—every detail matters. You can bring the old unit in, or just the specs. We’ll reverse-engineer what you need.
Step 2: Sourcing or Machining the Right Components
We pull from our deep stock of parts and partner brands like Nord, Cone Drive, and Radicon. Need a replacement that fits an older system? No problem. Our team can get you what you need or machine it.
Step 3: Assembly and Bench Testing
We don’t ship anything untested. Every gearbox is:
- Aligned for precision
- Sealed with correct oil or grease
- Fully tested under simulated load
If something doesn’t meet spec, we fix it before it ever leaves our bench.
Step 4: Delivery or Install Support
We offer jobsite delivery (call to check our delivery radius and locations), plus guidance for alignment and mounting if needed.
Whether it’s a simple single-reduction unit or a complex multi-stage setup—we get it right the first time.
