Welcome

Rapid Gear - 25th Anniversary We design and build quality gears, gear boxes and special purpose machinery.

We are a member of AGMA and located in Southern Ontario.

Rapid Gear's engineering staff design new gears and reducers, both planetary and parallel in-line units.

Whether working on new gear assemblies or redesigning an out-dated or worn out assembly, Rapid Gear can provide its customers with assembly drawings, detailed drawings and complete parts lists.

Although gear-cutting is our specialty, we are fully equipped to produce a wide range of special purpose or custom machinery.

Some of the industrial sectors we service include:
  • OEM
  • Steel
  • Mining
  • Pulp & Paper
  • Marine
  • Chemical
  • Forestry
  • Aggregates
  • Oil & Gas
  • Cement
  • Material Handling
  • Sugar Processing

We work with metric or imperial specifications and specialize in a wide variety of materials including bronze, cast iron, fibre and nylon to alloy steels with case hardened and ground teeth.

CNC turning and machining centers provide uniformity, conformance, quality and precision on production runs.

Our skilled craftsmen are knowledgable at repairing, rebuilding and restoring old gears and gear boxes to original specifications.

Our Exchange Program was designed to solve the following problems:
  • The OEM is out of business.
  • The units are discontinued or replaced with new series.
  • Parts are only available from over seas with long delivery times.
  • There are no drawings available.

Check out our capacities for spur, helical, double helical, herringbone, internal, worm, bevel gears on our gear cutting capacities page. Chain sprocket and rack capacities are also listed here.

See our Employment page for a listing of positions that we are trying to fill. Depending on our company's needs at the time they include Gear Cutters, Lathe Operators, CNC Lathe/Mill operators, Horizontal/Vertical Boring Mill Operators, Tool & Cutter Grinders, and Cylindrical Grinders.
