Accurate Gear technician evaluating an industrial component for reverse engineering

Obsolete & discontinued parts

When the original part is gone.The machine doesn't have to be.

We evaluate worn, broken and undocumented components - then develop a practical path to a replacement.

OEM support ended
No usable drawing
One critical part

The drawing may be gone. The requirement isn't.

Reverse engineering from a sample

Start with what you have.

An original print is helpful, but it is not always available. A worn part, broken component, partial drawing or old equipment manual can give us a place to begin.

We look at the component in context - not just its dimensions - to identify the geometry, fits and manufacturing details that matter to the application.

Parts we can evaluate

More than replacement gears.

Gear work

Gears & splines

Spur, helical, internal and crowned gears, plus splined components.

Rotating components

Shafts & pinions

Machined features and gear geometry developed around the application.

Machined parts

Housings & manifolds

Complex industrial components with critical bores, ports, faces and fits.

Beyond the list

Other components

If it is machined and no longer available, send the details for an initial review.

A clear path forward

From unknown part to defined replacement.

Feasibility, requirements and timing are confirmed after our team reviews the application.

01

Review the application

We start with the part, its function, the equipment it runs in and the problem you need to solve.

02

Define what matters

Our team evaluates geometry, fits, wear points, material clues and the features critical to performance.

03

Build the replacement

Once the manufacturing path is approved, we machine, cut, grind and coordinate the work required.

04

Verify the result

The finished component is inspected against the agreed requirements before it leaves our facility.

Finished precision gears manufactured by Accurate Gear

For an initial review

What should you send?

  1. Photos or a sample

    Show the complete part, damage and any identifying marks.

  2. Equipment and application

    Tell us where it runs and what the part needs to do.

  3. Known requirements

    Include drawings, material information, mating parts or old manuals.

  4. Quantity and timing

    Let us know what you need and when you need it.

Common questions

Obsolete part replacement.

Every part starts with an evaluation. These answers cover the information that helps us begin.

Can you make a replacement when the OEM no longer supports the part?+

Often, yes. We first evaluate the sample, application and available information to confirm whether a practical manufacturing path exists.

Can you work without an original drawing?+

Yes. A worn or broken sample can be the starting point. Old prints, manuals, mating components and application details can also help define the part.

What kinds of obsolete parts can Accurate Gear evaluate?+

Typical candidates include gears, splines, shafts, pinions, housings, manifolds and other machined industrial components.

What should I send for an initial review?+

Send photos, any known part number or drawing, the equipment and application, required quantity and timing. We will tell you the best next step.

Keep the equipment moving

The part may be obsolete. The requirement isn't.

Send what you have. We'll help determine the next step.
