Ring & Pinion Gear Shot Peening & Shot Blasting Machines
Engineered Abrasives® designs and manufactures custom ring and pinion gear shot peening machines. Ring and pinion gears are complex parts that must be finished with exact and uniform peening throughout the entire gear. The parts must fit into our specially designed tooling fixtures and perform under demanding conditions when using our special high hardness cut wire. Our patented power hold-down unit holds gears in place and keeps them rotating at the exact rotation settings.
How Our Ring & Pinion Gear Peening Machines Work
- Power hold-down arms keep each gear in its blasting station so it does not free spin during the blast.
- AC variable drives rotate parts at the same speed as the spindles, monitored by encoders and sensors.
- Spring-loaded holders allow for fixture wear, and loose-fit fixtures with poly inserts make loading and unloading easy for the operator.
- One-piece tooling hardened to 62 HRC all the way through, with poly inserts designed for different gears and easy on/off replacement.
The same machine platform peens EV and combustion engine transmission gears.

Ring & Pinion Gear Shot Peening FAQs
Ring and pinion gears are complex parts that run under demanding conditions. Shot peening leaves the surface under compressive stress, which increases resistance to cracks and fatigue, and the peening has to be exact and uniform across the entire gear.
Hold-down arms keep each gear in its blasting station so it does not free spin. AC variable drives rotate the parts at the same speed as the spindles, and encoders and sensors monitor the rotation.
Our ring and pinion machines run our special high hardness cut wire. We also offer glass bead, cast steel and ceramic media in a wide range of sizes.
Yes. One-piece tooling hardened to 62 HRC uses poly inserts designed for different gears, with easy on/off replacement.

Additional Shot Peening Equipment We Offer
Automated Shot Peening Machines
Shot peening is used to finish metal parts that require increased wear and fatigue properties. In the process, shot bombards the metal part, creating small dimples in the surface.
Transmission Gears for EV & Combustion Engines
Gear shot peening machines for EV, hybrid and combustion engine transmission gears.
Single Cell Machines
Single cell peening machines are used to provide peening for light to medium volume operations. Used for parts ranging from small gears to large gears, single cell blasting machines offer precision peening using a wide range of media.
Swing Door Machines
Grit blasting is one of the most effective methods used to prepare surfaces for finishing.
