Special Design Gearboxes

At Tandler, we understand that not every application can be met by an off-the-shelf solution. That is why we offer thousands of special designs based around our proven standard range, giving customers the flexibility to achieve the exact performance, installation and durability requirements their application demands.

From non-standard seals and lubrication arrangements through to fully customised housings, shafts and mounting configurations, we work closely with customers to develop gearboxes that integrate seamlessly into their machine or test environment. By building from established Tandler design principles, we are able to provide tailored solutions without compromising the precision, reliability and quality for which our gearboxes are known.

Our consultative approach means we begin by understanding the operating conditions, available installation space, load demands, duty cycle, environmental factors and performance targets of your application. With that information, we can recommend the most effective route forward, whether that is a modified version of an existing design or a more extensively engineered solution developed around your specific requirements.

Special design gearboxes can be developed for a wide range of sectors and operating environments, including industrial machinery, automotive test systems, aerospace applications, marine systems and other precision-driven equipment where dependable power transmission is essential. Whether the priority is compact installation, higher torque capacity, optimised shaft arrangement, improved sealing, or performance under challenging operating conditions, we can help deliver a gearbox solution engineered to fit the task.

Common customisation options may include:

• non-standard input and output shafts

• bespoke housing designs

• alternative flange and mounting arrangements

• special sealing solutions

• tailored lubrication systems

• modified ratios and gear stages

• materials and finishes suited to the application

• adaptations for restricted installation envelopes

Because every project is different, we welcome early-stage discussions. Even where a design challenge appears complex, there is often an efficient and practical solution when the gearbox is considered as part of the complete drive system.

Designed Around Your Application

We pride ourselves on finding the solution that meets your design demands. Our team works in collaboration with you to understand both the technical objective and the commercial realities of the project, helping you move from initial concept through to a practical, manufactured solution.

Whether you are refining an existing assembly, improving the performance of a current drive train, or developing an entirely new machine, Tandler can support you with gearbox design expertise based on decades of precision engineering experience.
