THE POWER OF PRECISIONThe right people, processes, and technology make it possible.
RubiconGearRubiconGear
Rubicon Gear provides contract-manufacturing
solutions for high precision power-transmission and
motion-control components—the parts that ultimately
make things move.
They're the components that drive flight-critical
aerospace applications mission-critical defense
applications and business-critical industrial and
commercial applications including:
• Turbine Engines (Aerospace & Industrial)
• Turbine Engine Starter Systems
• Auxiliary Power Systems
• Fuel & Lubrication Pumps
• Mechanical Actuation & Flight Control Systems
• Rotorcraft Drive Systems
• Centrifugal Gas Compressors
• Weapons Launch & Guidance Systems
• Automation and Robotic Systems
• Machine & Medical Tools
• Auto & Marine Racing/Performance Products
• Air & Thermal Management Systems
Two business divisions, infinite capabilities
Custom Gear Division
Our custom gear division provides turnkey or complete-
to-print manufacturing, assembly, and
inventory-management solutions. Products include spur,
ring, pump, helical, bevel and compound gears; geared
or splined shafts, couplings and carriers; and precision
machined parts and complete mechanical assemblies.
Gear Service Division
Our gear service division provides individual gear and
spline manufacturing solutions on customer-furnished
components. These include hobbing, shaping, internal
and external grinding, bevel gear cutting and grinding,
curvic coupling grinding and highly specialized solutions
for flight-critical aircraft components.

PRECISION IS POSSIBILITIES PRECISION IS MOTIONWe were founded in 1972 as G&N Gear to serve the Southern California aerospace and
defense industry. By 1992, the company had become one of the largest privately owned
gear manufacturers on the West Coast. Over the past two decades, we've continued to
fuel growth by diversifying and reinvesting millions of dollars in plant and machine tool
upgrades. Going forward, we'll further extend the scope and sophistication of our
manufacturing and assembly solutions to address the growing outsourcing needs of the
world's most demanding OEMs.
Access the power of precision
Delivering the power of precision hinges on three valuable strengths.
Experienced people. Disciplined processes. And advanced technology. For
over 35 years, that's been our formula for gear-manufacturing excellence. And
today it's still keeping our customers on the cutting edge.
Our valued customers
We have over 150 different customers involved in many industries, ranging
from small job shops to the most respected Fortune 500 companies. Major
customers include:

or visit www.rubicon-gear.com
Manufacturing engineering
Our engineering staff has over 50 years of combined
experience in gear manufacturing. Using the latest
versions of AutoCAD, SolidWorks and MasterCam, they
craft detailed engineering process plans to meet your
exacting part tolerances.
Supply chain management
Over the years, we've developed the vital infrastructure
to provide you with turnkey manufacturing solutions. This
includes partnerships with the leading, NADCAP-
approved companies that provide heat-treating; shot
peen, anodize, coating, plating and painting; and non-
destructive testing.
Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP)
We use Visual Manufacturing ERP by Infor to manage the
production of your parts from concept to delivery. This
dynamic foundation ensures you're getting maximum
performance and value from a lean, metrics-driven
company.
Value-added services
In producing your critical parts, we become integral
to your manufacturing process. To make the interface
seamless, we provide many value-added services
such as LTA contracts, JIT delivery and DFC
manufacturing engineering consulting.
RubiconGear
Precision gear manufacturing hinges on a culture of
craftsmanship—in other words, finding, training and
retaining the best talent. Most of our machinists are
journeymen who've been with Rubicon Gear for over
15 years. Similarly, our manufacturing engineering and
quality control team members have spent the lion's
share of their careers in the gear-manufacturing niche.
Quality in action
It's nothing new for a manufacturing company to talk
about quality. But when it comes to precision gears, your
record speaks louder than words:
• Our quality systems are certified to ISO
AS9001:2008 AS9100 Rev. C.
• We have quality approvals from the world's most
recognized names in aviation and defense.
• Since we routinely execute at >98% OTD / <500
PPM, many customers put us on self-release to
slash their receiving inspection costs.
Supplier quality management
Rubicon Gear customers benefit not only from our
disciplined internal quality standards, but also from those
extended to our supply chain. Each of our suppliers is
surveyed, audited, formally approved and measured on a
continuous basis against rigorous quality and delivery
performance metrics.
PRECISION IS PEOPLEUltimately, technology is the backbone of our entire
manufacturing process. Lots of machine shops can
make run-of-the-mill gears. But it takes unique expertise
and modern CNC equipment to manufacture parts that
push the envelope in terms of complexity, precision and
performance.
Machining capabilities
We utilize 25,000 feet of floor space in two buildings
outfitted with the latest CNC machine tools for turning,
milling, hobbing and shaping; cylindrical grinding; gear
and spline grinding; and bevel and curvic coupling
grinding.
Inspection capabilities
The precision and quality of all your components and
assemblies are verified using state-of-the-art CMM
inspection tools including a Zeiss CMM with GearPro
Software capable of 1.6-micron accuracy.
