Ring & Pinion gear sets are to be used, in most cases, as direct drop-in replacements to the OEM gear set
Design
- Use of the latest AutoCAD 3D CAD & FEA software alongside our own proprietary gearing tools & equipment
- Advanced gear geometry helps to increase tooth strength, reduce friction, and minimize parasitic drivetrain losses
- Helical and Straight-Cut tooth profiles available
Manufacture
- All of our Bar Stock is imported from Japan to ensure the purest steel grades
- Proprietary SNCM 6X Alloy, developed in partnership with our Japanese foundry, specifically for Extreme Duty drivetrain applications
- All OZ Performance Drivetrain gears are Forged. We do not use inferior Cast or Billet processes
- Forged components are upto 30% stronger & tougher than the equivalent 'Billet' component
- Advanced material processing, heat treatment & finishing techniques offer superior strength, durability and quality
- Primary Heat Treatment: After the forged parts come off the press, they are Normalized and Annealed to relieve residual stresses and make them machine workable
- Machining: After the forged blanks are completed, we use Industry-leading Multi-Axis Kashifuji and Mitsubishi CNC/CAM equipment to machine the parts
- Secondary Heat Treatment: State-of-the-art Case Hardening procedure achieved via computer-controlled Gas Carburization and Quenching
- Double-Tempering: A superior heat treatment technique used to decrease the brittleness and increase the toughness of our parts
- Surface Grinding: Through the use of our state-of-the-art Klingelnberg grinding machines, we ensure all parts are smooth, precise, and free of burrs
- Cryogenic Tempering: An advanced treatment technique whereby the parts are cryogenically hardened at -185°C, realigning the steel's crystalline structure for maximum strength, then heat tempered again for a 3rd time to ensure maximum toughness (resistance to fracture)
- 3-Stage Nano-Peen Process: Parts are subject to hyper-velocity bombardment with our proprietary nano media, creating a highly compressed outer surface, increasing durability by 30%!
- Molybdenum Disulfide (MoS2) Coating: All bearing journals are subjected to an advanced MoS2 surface coating to significantly decrease friction
- Ceramic Coating: In our final treatment stage, all tooth surfaces are subjected to an advanced ceramic surface coating, significantly decreasing surface friction and increasing surface hardness by 30%!
Quality Control
- ISO Regulated, multi-level quality control procedures ensure only the best products
- Designed and Manufactured to the latest AGMA gear standards
- State-of-the-art TESA, Zeiss Contura, Klingelnberg P40 and Osaka Seimitsu Kikai CMM's (Coordinate Measuring Machine) for extreme precision
- Strict Test Protocols, including advanced microscopy inspections, ensure the OZ Difference
At OZ Performance Drivetrain, we are proud to design & manufacture the most technologically advanced drivetrain products on the market. As a full-service R&D company, we
do not deal directly with the public. All designs are proprietary and are subject to minimum order quantities (MOQ).
Production of standard Ring & Pinions (FWD) are subject to a
10pc MOQ per fitment.
Production of hypoid Ring & Pinions (RWD) are subject to a
30pc MOQ per fitment.
