Premier Increases Gear Shaping Capacity Premier Gear has added a CNC re-controlled and rebuilt Fellows 10-4 gear shaper to our growing list of gear manufacturing equipment. The addition of the Fellows 10-4 increases our face-width gear-shaping capacity to 4”, and increases the throughput capacity of our shaping department by twenty-five percent. Premier Gear is committed to growing with our customers; providing the machining capacity and expertise you need for all of your gear manufacturing and precision machining requirements now and into the future. You can count on it.

Premier Gear Management Buyout Steve Golden, Huy Nguyen and Steve McIntire, the core management team at Premier Gear and Machining for many years, have acquired the company from its founder, Bill Murphy. The buyout has been in the works for many months and was carefully planned and implemented in order to minimize disruption to our business operations. The new owners are committed to maintaining and expanding our reputation for outstanding quality and customer service in all areas of our business. As we look to the future, we are grateful for our relationships with our loyal customers; and we look forward to continuing to provide the best service in the business for all of your precision machining and gear cutting requirements.

Premier Gear Adds Precision Balancing Premier Gear and Machining is pleased to announce the acquisition of our new Hoffmann 12.1 Precision Balancing System. The addition of our Hoffmann means Premier Gear now controls more of the manufacturing process by balancing your rotor and shaft assemblies in-house. Premier Gear can now handle your balancing requirements for parts up to 35 lbs, and up to 18 inches in length and 18 inches in diameter. It makes a lot of sense to have your rotor and shaft assemblies manufactured and balanced all under one roof, and by people who really know the business. Save yourself time and money. Make Premier Gear your one-stop source for rotor and shaft assemblies.

Parts Machined from Vespel Material At a cost of more than $60.00 per inch, there is little margin for error when machining parts from Vespel. Premier Gear has perfected a manufacturing process to produce parts from this costly material with little or no waste. This means that Premier Gear is able to offer high-quality Vespel parts at very competitive prices. Bring your next Vespel requirement to Premier Gear and let us show you how to maximize your cost savings for this unique material.

The same commitment to quality and value that produces our exceptional manufactured parts is evident in our assemblies. With dock-to-stock shipments on a just-in-time basis, our customers save valuable time and money with our complete assembly services. Premier Gear is ready to solve your rotor and shaft assembly problems. Let us show you how it is done.

Matched Worm Gear Sets Premier Gear now produces individually matched and serialized worm gear sets. Each gear is cut to match the previously thread ground worm component to guarantee precision operation of the worm gear assembly. “Our advanced manufacturing methods allow us to eliminate the lapping operation for these matched sets,” explains Steve Golden, production manager. “This increased efficiency is passed on to our customers in the form of higher quality and better value.” Matched worm gear sets without lapping is yet another way that Premier Gear sets the standard in gear manufacturing technology.

Acme Gear Shaft Assembly Premier Gear machines each component part of your gear shaft assembly to exacting tolerances. These components are then welded, proof and torque tested, processed, and assembled under strict quality control to produce a finished product that performs as designed. The Premier Gear planning department coordinates each step of the process, from machining to outside processing to final assembly, delivering top quality gear shaft assemblies on time. Premier Gear is more than just a gear shop - we are your total precision manufacturing solution.
