Ondrives Ltd is a UK-based manufacturer specialising in precision gears, gearboxes, and mechanical drive systems for aerospace, defence, robotics, automation, and advanced industrial applications. We support customers requiring high accuracy, reliability, and repeatable performance in safety-critical environments.
Through ongoing investment in advanced CNC machining, gear cutting and grinding, heat treatment control, and high-precision inspection, Ondrives delivers consistent quality from prototype and development through to low- and medium-volume production. Our vertically integrated manufacturing capabilities enable us to support complex, high-performance systems commonly found in aerospace actuation, robotic motion control, and defence platforms.
Our experienced in-house engineering team provides full technical support, including gear design, optimisation, and modification, working closely with customers from concept through to production release. Using industry-leading software such as KISSsoft , can perform load analysis, durability and life prediction, noise and efficiency optimisation, helping to reduce technical risk early in the design cycle.
Quality, traceability, and compliance underpin every project we deliver. Ondrives is approved by Lloyd’s Register Quality Assurance (LRQA) to AS9100 Rev D and BS EN ISO 9001:2015. Our quality system includes full material and process traceability, First Article Inspection Reports (FAIRs), detailed dimensional inspection, and secure digital document control—providing confidence, auditability, and supply-chain assurance for aerospace, defence, and robotics customers worldwide.
