Gears
Cross+Morse offer a comprehensive range of standard stock gears coupled with the capability to supply custom designed gears on short lead times; providing the design engineer with a wide spectrum of solutions from which to select open gear drives.
Bevel and Mitre Gears
Two series of gears are offered:
– The original T.D. Cross range to imperial dimensions from 16DP to 5DP pitch of standard Mitre and Bevel gears, stocked in pilot bore form with reboring, keywaying and induction hardening available. When correctly aligned, a bevel gearset with oil lubrication can operate with transmission efficiency up to 98 percent.
– The much improved metric range of gears from 1 Mod. to 5 Mod. pitch to provide the designer with a wider range of selection. All gears manufactured in medium carbon steels for high strength and durability and can be rebored, keywayed and induction/flame hardened for more arduous applications.
Modification of standard gears by reworking the bore and faces, and adding heat treatment often provides the most economical gear solution; but for those applications where standard gears cannot be used, special gears and racks can be manufactured to your specifications.

Spur Gears
A range of 20° PA spur gears all manufactured in medium carbon steel, provide selection from 1 Mod. through to 6 Mod. pitch with gears from 12 teeth to 120 teeth, with or without a hub. Gears have face width equal to ten times Mod. number to provide sensible power transmission capability.
Straight Racks
These provide the ideal method to convert rotary into linear motion for table drives etc. or linear to rotary motion as in feeds. In addition to the standard range of racks special constructions can be provided with pitch size up to 16 mod.
Available in standard lengths of 0.5, 1, 2 and 3 metres is a range of 20° PA straight cut racks with pitch range 1 Mod. to 8 Mod. These are designed to combine with the standard spur gears to provide low cost conversion of rotary to linear motion.
Racks can be supplied modified to enable easy mounting by addition of plain or tapped holes.
Special Custom-Made Gear Products
Mitre and Bevel Gears: Straight cut gears to the Gleason system up to 500mm diameter, in a variety of materials.
Spur Gears: In diametrical, circular or module pitches with tooling available most pitch sizes in both 141/2° and 20° pressure angle for gears up to 730mm diameter.
Helical Gears: With helix angles up to 45° and pitch diameter up to 710mm.
Straight Racks: Racks of Module or Diametrical (DP) pitches can be supplied up to 2 Metre length and pitch up to 5 Mod or 5 D.P.
Internal Gears and Splines: Hubs up to 635mm can be machined to a depth of 100mm either standard spur gear or internal splines.
Splines and Serrations: Involute, flat root, or fillet root splines and serrations can be cut on machined shafts or customer blanks.
Special Gearboxes: Custom designed gear systems can be supplied to suit individual drive requirements, using spur gears, helical gears, or inverted tooth chain. Shaft centres to 11/2 metres and power ratings to 1000KW have been provided. We welcome the opportunity to quote for your requirements.
