Rush Gears can assist you in developing prototype gears to
your specifications. Please give us a call to discuss these
custom services. Call 1.800.523.2576
We have thousands of pre-engineered parts and specifications
to choose from, or we can work with your drawings and sample parts to create a working prototype.
By pre-engineered we do not mean they are in stock. They are not. Every gear we make is custom made.
Prototype scenario:
You, or your customer, would like to order 1000 gears for a new project, but you don't want to spend a fortune on 6 prototype parts.
Solution:
Order the prototypes at whatever delivery you need. Then, when you place the large quantity order, we will rebate the prototypes for the price difference.*
Example:
Say you need 6 gears in 1 week to test the design. The price for those gears at the 1 week production time might be $791.67ea for a total of $4,750.00.
A few weeks later the design is proven and you are ready to place an order for 1000 pieces at the quantity discount of $38.13ea.
*Please keep in mind that this is just an
example of our prototype pricing. You will need
to request a quote to see what your cost and discount will be.
Quantity Discounts
We will now go back and re-price the prototypes at the 1000 piece price.
*Note: Total rebate not to exceed 10% of the total discount order quantity amount.
Rebate for this example
Prototypes$791.67ea
1000pc price- $38.13ea
Difference= $753.54ea
x 6 pcs
total rebate for this example:= $4,521.24
*10% Check:
1000 pcs
x $38.13ea
= $38,130.00
x .10
max rebate for this example= $3,813.00
The $4,521.24 rebate exceeds the $3,813.00 allowable for this example, so you would receive the maximum rebate of $3,813.00 for these prototypes.
The end result is that you get 6 prototypes at the 1 week production time option for $937.00 ($4,750.00 - $3,813.00), or $156.17 each!!
