Molds for Window Regulator Components

We build tooling for the gear housings and drive components that make up automotive power window regulator mechanisms. These parts combine fine gear tooth detail, wear resistance, and structural mounting features in a single mold.

Gear Housings

Motor gear housings with precise tooth profiles for smooth, repeatable window movement.

Drive Gears

Spur and sector gear components requiring tight tolerance and consistent wear behavior.

Mounting Brackets

Structural bracket and pivot components that anchor the regulator mechanism to the door frame.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Do you build molds for gear components inside the regulator mechanism?

Yes. We design precision cavity tooling for gear tooth profiles, working to the tolerances needed for smooth, repeatable gear meshing over the part's operating life.

What materials do your window regulator molds run?

Most regulator tooling is built for POM, PA66-GF, PBT, and PA6, depending on the wear and structural requirements of the specific component.

Can you tool for metal insert components, such as pivot pins?

Yes, we design insert molding tooling for metal pivots, shafts, and similar components that need to be molded directly into the plastic housing.

Do you handle production molding as well as tooling?

Our scope on this program is mold design and build. Production molding is typically run by the customer or their contracted molder.

Is PPAP support included?

We support mold trials, first article inspection, and optional CPK studies. Full PPAP submission is generally managed by the injection molder or production supplier.
