Frequently Asked Questions

A gear-based structural toolkit is a modular system of interlocking gears, brackets, panels and connectors designed to build mechanical frameworks that translate motion into precise linear or rotational movement.

We use high-strength polymer composites and anodized aluminum alloys for gears and structural parts. This combination delivers durability, wear resistance and lightweight performance.

Yes. Each kit provides multiple gear sizes and spacer elements to fine-tune gear ratios. You can assemble compound gear trains or simple meshing pairs for tailored torque and speed.

Our components click and snap into place, then lock with metal set screws or quick-release cams. This approach ensures firm connections without the need for specialized tools.

GearTopin provides downloadable CAD models and step-by-step guides for standard assembly patterns. These resources help you plan layout and test fit before physical prototyping.

Individual gears, brackets and specialized adapters can be ordered separately. Browse our parts catalog on GearTopin.link to select the exact components you need.

Ideal applications include robotic linkages, conveyor prototypes, educational models, kinetic art installations and any system requiring scalable mechanical motion.

Wipe components with a soft cloth and mild solvent. For aluminum parts, apply a light coat of industrial lubricant to maintain smooth meshing under continuous operation.

Yes. Our engineering team at 630 W 5th Street, Los Angeles, CA 90071 provides email support and live chat to troubleshoot assembly questions and offer design advice.

Absolutely. All kits use standardized fastening points, so additional modules and gears integrate seamlessly to grow your framework as your project evolves.

We ship domestically and internationally via ground and expedited carriers. Delivery schedules vary by destination; tracking details are provided once packages leave our Los Angeles facility.

Volume pricing is offered for orders above set thresholds. Please contact our sales team through GearTopin.link for detailed tiered rates and lead times.

Use the integrated shims and micro-adjustment screws in our alignment modules to correct backlash and ensure perfect gear engagement.

Yes. Our parts have standard hole patterns and mounting dimensions, making them compatible with many consumer and industrial 3D-printed materials.

GearTopin conducts virtual workshops and on-site seminars demonstrating best practices for modular gear assemblies, alignment techniques and system expansion.
