This means you get manufacturer-direct pricing, full engineering support, and access to the deepest inventory of metric gears available anywhere in North America. Our J-Series custom gear program delivers made-to-order gears with secondary operations (bore modifications, keyway cutting, hub reduction, and tapped holes) in as few as 5 business days.
Pick-and-Place Systems demands gears that deliver ultra-precise positioning, rapid acceleration/deceleration capability, and minimal backlash for repeatable placement accuracy. As a specialized pick-and-place component manufacturer, KHK USA supplies gears engineered for the full range of pick-and-place systems applications — from high-speed pick-and-place robots, gantry systems, delta robots, vision-guided placement stations, and tray-loading machines.
Our metric spur gears and helical gears are the workhorses of pick-and-place systems, delivering smooth, efficient power transmission with minimal backlash. For right-angle drives, our bevel and miter gears provide reliable 90-degree motion transmission. Worm gears offer self-locking capability ideal for indexing and positioning, while our precision gear racks and pinions deliver the linear motion accuracy that modern pick-and-place systems systems require.
