For over 90 years Kohara Gear Industry (KHK) has engaged in the production of acetal gears. The dedication to this product has resulted in sourcing world-class equipment and training of personnel in world-class production methods.
Acetal gears provide excellent dimensional stability, low friction, and superior wear resistance among engineering plastics. Ideal for precision instruments, medical devices, and applications requiring tight tolerances with self-lubricating properties.
Kohara Gear Industry is both ISO 9001:2015 and ISO 14001:2015 certified. Every acetal gear produced by KHK undergoes rigorous quality control including material analysis, dimensional verification, and performance testing.
With the largest selection of standardized metric gears in North America — over 27,000 configurations — KHK USA’s team of professionals look forward to assisting you with all your acetal gears needs.
Metric gears use the module system (designated by “m”) to define tooth size, as opposed to the diametral pitch (DP) system common in inch-based gearing. Module equals the pitch diameter divided by the number of teeth, expressed in millimeters. KHK USA provides the most comprehensive selection of stock metric gears in North America, making it easy to source acetal gears for any application.
In addition to acetal gears, KHK USA offers the full range of metric gear products: spur gears, helical gears, internal gears, miter gears, bevel gears, screw gears, inch gears, worm gears, gearboxes, CP racks & pinions, racks, and other products.
Because we are the largest and best source for acetal gears, we provide free resources including How To Select Gears, free gear calculation software, and free gear drafting software.
KHK’s acetal gears are available in a wide range of modules from 0.5 to 10, covering fine pitch, medium pitch, and coarse pitch applications.
