Precision Gear

What Precision Gear does

Precision Gear Industries is a privately held, vertically integrated aerospace precision components manufacturer founded circa 1945 in College Point, New York. The company manufactures flight-critical, close-tolerance components — spur gears, helical gears, free-wheel cams, helicopter main rotor shafts, and engine output/torque sensor shafts — from specialty aerospace alloys (AMS6265/9310, AMS6308 Pyrowear, Nitralloy 135, maraging steel, stainless) for aircraft engine, helicopter transmission, and defense applications. Core technology comprises CNC precision machining, gear hobbing/shaping/grinding, in-house heat treatment and carburizing (up to 3x), chemical processing (copper, silver, cadmium plating per AMS/MIL specs), and precision inspection using Zeiss CMM, VMM, and Klingelnberg/Gleason gear inspection, all operating under ISO 9001, AS9100, NADCAP, and AGMA accreditations.

The company serves aerospace and defense OEMs through a direct enterprise field sales model: customers submit RFQs with specifications, quantities, and price targets, and Precision Gear quotes, manufactures, and delivers custom parts to blueprint, DMWR, or customer SOW. Revenue is generated through project-based manufacturing contracts (one-time license-style engagements under multi-year program frameworks) plus recurring aftermarket service revenue from its wholly owned subsidiary, Precision Gear Overhaul & Repair LLC (FAA Repair Station No. 9POR762B). The company is subject to I.T.A.R. regulations, restricting certain program work to U.S. citizens or lawful permanent residents. Precision Gear operates as a subsidiary of Precision Arrow Gear Group, which also includes Precision Arrow Gear and Arrow Gear, and has no public funding, listing, or disclosed financial metrics.
