MINEOLA, NY—For over 80 years, the Kohara Gear trademark KHK has been synonymous with stock metric gears. Recognizing the fact that 80 percent of the gears consumed in the USA are inch pitch, KHK USA has announced the availability of diametral pitch (DP) spur gears that have the same quality, performance, and cost as its traditional stock metric gears. These DP spur gears are detailed at https://www.khkgears.us/products/inch-gears/
KHK USA, based in Mineola NY, stocks approximately 4,500 SKUs (stock-keeping units) of metric gearing in the New York for same day warehouse shipping and can, within three business days, make shipments direct from the factory in Japan. With over 181 configurations of stock metric spur gears, helical gears, internal ring gears, gear racks, straight and spiral tooth miter gears, spiral, hypoid and Zerol bevel gears, screw gears, worms and wormwheels, ratchets and pawls, gear couplings, involute spline shafts and bushings, and right-angle gearboxes, KHK USA offers an unmatched selection of standardized products with unbeatable availability.

“With this new product line, we are able to leverage the factory expertise and provide a solution for those customers still using inch gearing,” says KHK USA general manager Brian Dengel. “We are responding to the markets demand that we offer stock inch gears in 4DP, 6DP, 8DP, and 10DP. Our customers have looked to us for a solution to other vendors who either offer a ridiculous lead time or an astronomic price. KHK USA can now fill that need with a KHK quality standard product, that meets the customers need for quality, cost, and delivery.”
