Company Description

APG Developments Ltd are one of the UK’s leading manufacturers of specialised transmission products, offering a precision cut range of customised gears, timing pulleys, poly vee pulleys, vee pulleys, chain sprockets, round section pulleys and toothed bars. With over 20 years of experience in the production of gears and pulleys for various industrial sectors, we are able to produce transmission solutions in line with almost any requirement, no matter how complex.

We operate out of our very own state-of-the-art 9,000 sq ft production facility in Kent, using advanced CNC technologies to manufacture the UK’s finest gear and pulley components which are now available in stainless steel, aluminium, plastic, Delrin and Tufnol. All of the components that we supply are manufactured in accordance with the precise requirements of our customers.

Our wealth of experience enables us to provide expert advice and guidance on all transmission related problems, while our manufacturing capabilities (which include CNC turning, gear hobbing and gear shaping) allow us to provide bespoke solutions. Other facilities available to APG customers are gear cutting, broaching, anodising and chemical blacking.

So if you have a transmission problem that requires a customised solution, speak to APG Developments Ltd. Our helpful, friendly team are available on + 44 (0) 1634 722420 / 722450. Or you can visit our website, www.apgdev.com.



CNC Turning

At our 9,000 sq ft facility in Kent we operate several CNC Turning centres which enable us to produce highly precise components in line with customer requirements. Computer controlled turning offers incredible repetition and accuracy, meaning even the most complex components can be produced with ease. Outstanding repeatability results in a faster manufacturing process and therefore minimises cost of production – these savings are passed on to our customers. A faster manufacturing process also results in shorter lead times, meaning our customers receive their components sooner. Please get in touch if you would like to find out more about our CNC turning capabilities.

Gear Hobbing

APG Developments also owns a series of hobbing machines, enabling us to produce high quality gears, splines and sprockets with a fast turnaround. Gear hobbing is a process most commonly used for the manufacture of spur or helical gears, but is also often employed for the production of cycloid gears, involute gears and worm gears. It is an inexpensive process that provides highly accurate results. To find out more about our gear hobbing capabilities, please visit the APG Developments website or get in touch with our experts on 01634 722420.

Gear Shaping

We also possess a range of gear shaping machines that enable us to cut gear teeth extremely quickly and with highly accurate results. This is a faster process than gear planning, since cutting is continuous and the cutting tool does not need to be stepped back. We use gear shaping machines to produce both internal and external gears, as well as close-coupled cluster gears and splines. You can find out more about our gear shaping capabilities by visiting the APG Developments website, or alternatively you can give us a call and speak to one of our experts for detailed advice and guidance.
