Question

Accepted Answer

Protect the gear before it reaches the export carton

A good overseas-shipping package controls three risks together: corrosion, impact and tooth-to-tooth contact. Clean and dry the parts, apply the agreed rust-prevention method, wrap each gear separately and use a rigid carton or crate with enough cushioning for the part weight and geometry.

PairGears describes its cleaning, anti-rust and separate-carton process as part of the manufacturing route.

PairGears gear cleaning and anti-rust treatment before shipment

1. Stop corrosion

Remove machining residue and moisture, then use the agreed anti-rust fluid, paper or VCI method. Seal the package only after the preservation step is complete.

2. Prevent contact damage

Separate mating or finished tooth surfaces with sleeves, paper or formed inserts. Do not let loose gears rub against one another during handling.

3. Control movement

Match cushioning and carton strength to gear mass, shaft length and route. Immobilize heavy parts so shock loads do not transfer into teeth or thin sections.

Specify these packing details on the order

Rust-prevention method and expected protection period
Individual wrapping or separator requirements
Protection for teeth, bores, keyways and machined datums
Carton, pallet or crate strength and maximum package weight
Part labels, quantity marks and moisture-control instructions

For a broader checklist, review the pre-shipment gear inspection guide.

Packaging should match the quality plan

Confirm whether the inspection report, photos, packing list and rust-prevention record must be supplied before dispatch. If the gear is a matched set, label the pair and keep its orientation clear.
