Our Promise

We know it takes more than just good gears to make a good company. It takes a special touch for service, because not every order is standard. We pride ourselves in knowing that we can handle the toughest custom job you have.

We will supply an enclosed gear drive to suit any special requirement you need. We will make a unit to fit your space limitation, a drive with custom shafts, units with special seals, or extra long bearing life. We will make vertical and horizontal drives, speed reducers, and speed increasers, cast iron and fabricated steel housings. We supply gearmotors with any type of electric motor, either flange mounted or scoop mounted, constant speed or variable speed.

Total Drive Source is more than a slogan – we are the only company that specializes in providing complete packaged assemblies of both mechanical and electrical drive components.

We coordinate your entire mechanical and electrical drive package including gear reducer, and electric motor mounted bedplate, with couplings and coupling guards, backstops, creep drives, chains, sprockets, clutches, shoe or disc brakes, or auxiliary lubrication consoles.

You receive it ready to run, not ready to assemble. You will also find our composite drawings are the best around. You can’t get this service from any other company in the world.

Nuttall Gear is a company with a history of high standards and performance and we work to keep it that way.
