Product overview
Review the gear pair, assembly conditions, drawing requirements, specification checks, and inspection points before requesting a quotation.
Custom internal ring gears feature teeth cut on the inside diameter of a cylindrical ring, meshing with one or more external pinions. They are fundamental components in planetary gearboxes, epicyclic drives, slewing mechanisms, and compact speed reducers where high reduction ratios and coaxial shaft arrangements are needed. ZhongYi manufactures internal ring gears from customer drawings, CAD models, or physical samples. The technical review encompasses module, pressure angle, internal tooth count, rim thickness, outside mounting diameter, bolt circle patterns, dowel holes, heat treatment distortion control, and radial runout. Because internal teeth are less accessible than external teeth, cutter clearance and tool withdrawal spaces are verified during process planning.
Selection guidance
Use application and mating-component data to confirm geometry, materials, mounting details, and the acceptance plan.
Provide the internal tooth data alongside the mating external pinion (or planet gear) details. Verify that the difference in tooth count between the internal gear and pinion avoids tooth interference (trochoidal interference or trimming). Confirm outer diameter, rim wall thickness, pilot register dimensions, mounting hole circle, material grade, and heat treatment. Because thin-walled rings are prone to oval distortion during heat treatment and clamping, adequate wall section and post-treatment finishing allowance should be designed into the part.

Quality Control & Inspection Matrix
Overseas procurement teams require verifiable technical data, not unsupported claims. Every production batch at ZhongYi is inspected against approved CAD blueprints and international standards (DIN, AGMA, ISO).
Component-Specific Quality Focus:
Internal ring gear quality requires strict control of ring roundness, tooth pitch accuracy, and radial runout relative to the external mounting pilot. Checks are performed using dedicated internal pitch micrometers, pin gauges, and coordinate measurement equipment when specified. Heat treatment procedures are controlled to minimize distortion. Critical tolerances and acceptance criteria are agreed upon before manufacturing.
Validates 3D spatial GD&T, bore concentricity, center distance, and geometric tolerances down to ±0.002 mm.
Inspects involute tooth profile error (fα), lead crowning (fβ), pitch cumulative error (Fp), and radial runout (Fr).
Verifies surface hardness (58–62 HRC), core toughness, and effective carburized / nitrided case depth gradient.
100% chemical composition verification of alloy steel forgings (20CrMnTi, 42CrMo, 18CrNiMo7-6, Stainless, POM).
We maintain strict incoming material spectroscopy, in-process CNC tooth coordinate monitoring, and 100% final pre-shipment dimensional inspection. All custom gear batches are backed by our full manufacturing warranty.

Technical FAQ
Critical specifications are confirmed against final drawings before production.
Interference can occur if the external mating pinion has too many teeth relative to the internal ring, or if the cutter diameter is too close to the internal diameter. Reviewing the complete pinion and ring pair prevents design interference.
Thin walls can flex under cutting forces or warp during heat treatment, causing out-of-round distortion and uneven tooth contact. A recommended rim thickness of at least 2 to 3 times the tooth module helps ensure structural rigidity.
Yes. Ring blanks can include outer mounting flanges, through holes, tapped holes, counterbores, and precision pilot registers according to the engineering drawing.
