Gearbox Adapters & Transition Bases

Replacing or upgrading a gearbox doesn’t always go as smoothly as planned. Sometimes the new gearbox doesn’t line up with the old one, leaving you with extra work, higher costs, and more downtime than you can afford. That’s where Lawler Gear comes in.

From our shop in Lee’s Summit, Missouri, we design and manufacture gearbox adapters and transition bases that make installation easier and more reliable. With more than 45 years of experience serving businesses in Kansas City and across the Midwest, we know how to create solutions that save you time, money, and stress.

Why Adapters and Transition Bases Are Essential

A gearbox adapter or transition base acts like a bridge between your old setup and your new gearbox. Instead of redesigning or modifying your equipment, we build a custom component that makes everything fit together perfectly.

The benefits are clear:  

• Reduced Downtime: Get your equipment back up and running without costly delays.
• Cost Savings: Avoid expensive modifications to your machinery.
• Improved Performance: A custom-fit design ensures efficiency and reliability.
• Long-term value: Precision components help extend the lifespan of both gearboxes and connected equipment.

In short, an adapter or base can turn what feels like a complicated retrofit into a simple, stress-free upgrade.

Custom Solutions for Every Application

At Lawler Gear, we don’t believe in “one size fits all.” Every machine is different, and every customer has unique needs. That’s why we take a hands-on approach to designing and building adapters and transition bases.

Here’s how it works:

1. We listen. Our engineers and technicians take time to understand your equipment and challenges.
2. We design. Using advanced CAD modeling, we create a detailed plan for your part.
3. We build. Our machinists manufacture your component with precision and care. 
4. We deliver. You get a reliable, easy-to-install solution made to last.

This process makes sure your adapter or base is not only accurate but also simple to install and dependable in the long run.

Quality You Can Count On

We’ve been in the gear manufacturing business for decades, and one thing we never compromise on is quality. From the materials we choose to the way we machine every component, we hold ourselves to the highest standards.

That means:

• Careful planning before production begins
• Advanced machining for accuracy
• Durable materials designed for a long life
• Inspections to make sure every part meets your specs

This attention to detail has earned us the trust of companies all across Missouri, Kansas, and more.
