RJ Link’s engineering team utilizes industry leading software to deliver top tier performance.
Consultation & Needs Assessment
During our initial project consultation our goal is to gain a deep understanding of our customer’s requirements and challenges in order to gain a better understanding of the customer’s concerns.
Design & Simulation
Utilizing KISSsoft gear design software, existing gears can be reverse engineered or new gears are designed.
- KISSsoft provides in-depth gear tooth interaction simulation allowing for optimal gear geometry.
- KISSsoft also provides full system analysis based on gear design. Allowing the gears, shafts, and bearings to all work together.
Validation & Integration Support
Utilizing Solidworks with Finite Element Analysis (FEA) analysis we are able to wrap the gearset in the most space efficient housing.
- 3D models are provided to support integration into the customer’s machine design.

FAQs
Is my project too small?
Absolutely not! RJ Link works with customers of all sizes. We are just as happy to sell 1 gearbox as 100 gearboxes.
How quickly can a project be complete?
Project lead time vary greatly depending on current manufacturing load and scope of the project. Typical lead time ranges from 20-52 weeks.
What information is needed to get started?
More information is always better. Ideally knowing the input Hp, input RPM, output Hp, output RPM, and rotation orientation is the minimum. Pictures are always a welcome sight as well.
Do I need to purchase the parts/gearbox from RJL?
No, while RJ Link has significant manufacturing capabilities; we understand some customer prefer to work with their local trusted manufacturers.
