Sunnen manufactures systems for high precision gear honing, including helical, pinion, worm, spline, sprocket, and spur gears. Our precision bore machining technology creates gear tooth profiles from a more accurate bore for smoother, quieter running gears that transfer more power. Our improved bore geometry in the gear blank results in a higher quality finished gear. And Sunnen's improved process control and greater accuracy delivers gear drives that last longer and run smoother, quieter, and more efficiently.
