The Power Of Technology & Precision A Regal Brand Over 90 Years of Experience!
Value Proposition Milwaukee Gear manufactures custom steel gears, pinions and assemblies to OEM market leaders that require helical and spur ground gears to exacting specifications with traceability and reliable lead times. We help our customers to be successful with design assistance and process engineering optimization. Our engineering talent, on site heat treatment capabilities and passion for excellence for over 90 years has earned Milwaukee Gear a sustained customer base. Operational Excellence Sustainability Knowledge Base Lean Initiatives Milwaukee Gear Value Proposition Engineering Design Assistence Delivery Reliability Supply Chain Management Precision & Quality Reliability Technology Investments History Milwaukee Gear s history began in 1918 when Emil G. Borisch and Walter C. Kohls founded the two-man company in downtown Milwaukee. Borish and Kohls focused on their core values of providing exceptional quality and service. Milwaukee Gear still practices, and holds true to, the same traditions and values as our founding fathers. Milwaukee Gear was privately held until February of 2012 when they were purchased by Regal Beloit Corporation, located in Beloit, WI. Regal s interest in acquiring Milwaukee Gear stems from our capability to manufacture critical, highly engineered gears, gearboxes, pinions, and assembly components for leading global OEMs. Milwaukee Gear broadens Regal Beloit s mechanical segment by offering customers a larger scope of custom, precision gearing solutions. Throughout our history, we have consistently invested in the latest technology in order to provide more efficient solutions to our customers, expand our capabilities, and increase our capacity. We have the most advanced machinery and manufacturing capabilities in the industry today. A Regal Brand

Design assistance capabilities At Milwaukee Gear, we can assist our customers with gear optimization. Below is an example of our analysis on a customer s existing design which ultimately resulted in increased performance and longer life of the gear set. Milwaukee Gear worked with a customer who was not getting satisfactory performance from their existing design. The customer s existing design did not call for any micro geometry modifications, the resulting load distribution for non-modified teeth in Figure 1 was causing macro pitting. Milwaukee Gear suggested lead and profile modifications based on LVR analysis of the gear train based on the shaft deflection causing mesh misalignment. After making the suggested micro geometry corrections, the load distribution in Figure 2 eliminated the pitting and increased the performance resulting in longer life without increasing the cost of the gear set.
