Engineered for high-torque performance, medical-grade compliance, and micro-drive mechanical configurations in Free Trade Zone manufacturing lines.
Costa Rica has rapidly transitioned into an advanced technology exporting powerhouse in Central America. Driven by key industrial hubs like the Coyol Free Zone in Alajuela and the Metro Free Zone in Heredia, the country stands as a leading global center for medical device assemblies, precision instruments, and green-tech aerospace systems. Multinational corporations operating in Costa Rica require a robust supply chain that can keep pace with strict technical tolerances and rapid prototyping loops.
As a seasoned supplier of high-precision gear injection and plastic molds, we recognize the specific operational and logistical pain points of Costa Rican businesses. Whether it's minimizing ocean transit cycles through streamlined shipping networks or aligning with CAFTA-DR customs processes, our engineering team acts as a Direct Manufacturing extension for San José, Cartago, and Alajuela-based OEMs.
Modern medical devices and consumer electronics require high wear-resistance, self-lubricating properties, and structural stability. Traditional metals are increasingly replaced by engineered polymers that reduce weight and minimize mechanical noise.
Discover our capabilities in mold design, gear optimization, and precision measurement systems optimized for global standard alignment.
Welcome to the future of micro-drive manufacturing. Kineto Motor operates a state-of-the-art facility designed for efficiency, precision, and sustainability. As a leading China exporter of micro DC and brushless motors, we combine twenty years of industrial heritage with a forward-thinking approach to lean automated manufacturing.
Quality and compliance are embedded in our DNA. Our entire production ecology conforms to rigorous international standards, including ISO9001, CE, RoHS, and REACH. By investing heavily in automated assembly lines and eco-friendly manufacturing processes, we ensure absolute consistency across high-volume production runs while minimizing our carbon footprint.
Micro-molding requires advanced temperature controls, precise gate planning, and accurate shrinkage calculations. Our molds are designed using advanced rheology simulation softwares. This enables us to predict polymer melt fronts, weld-line formations, and residual stresses before cutting steel.
By using premium Swedish steel cores (Stavax ESR or S136) hardened up to HRC 52-54, we ensure our tooling stands up to millions of cycles, minimizing the need for frequent refurbishments. This reliability is vital for maintaining production uptime in automated factories across Central America.
The rise of regional manufacturing hubs has led organizations to adopt hybrid supply chain strategies. Our advanced production center in China serves as a reliable manufacturing partner for Costa Rican tech hubs, offering:
| Material Designation | Tensile Strength (MPa) | Thermal Deflection Temp (°C) | Primary Industrial Use Case | Costa Rica Application Example |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| POM (Polyoxymethylene / Acetal) | 65 - 75 | 110 | Precision spur/helical gears, mechanical sliding elements | Medical insulin pumps, smart lock actuator assemblies |
| PA66 + 30% GF (Glass Fiber) | 160 - 180 | 250 | Structural housings, high torque load drive gears | Automotive under-hood sensors, industrial automation drives |
| PEEK (Polyetheretherketone) | 90 - 100 | 150 | Surgical devices, biocompatible gears, aerospace actuators | Medical instrumentation hubs (Coyol Free Zone) |
| ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) | 40 - 50 | 85 | Rigid covers, low-wear toy gears, custom consumer enclosures | Consumer electronic casings, smart waste bins |
These specific mechanical options provide high gear-reduction ratios, low acoustic profiles, and energy-efficient motor integrations.

For medical device manufacturers operating in San José or Cartago, certification alignment is a strict requirement rather than an option. Our manufacturing site operates in compliance with international quality frameworks, ensuring that raw material selection, tool steel preparation, injection processes, and final metrology verification steps are recorded and traceable.
Our raw plastics are sourced from certified global material partners, arriving with comprehensive material data sheets, RoHS certifications, and REACH compliance declarations. We work closely with our partners to ensure all components comply with international safety standards, making them suitable for export to North American and European markets.
Plastic gear wear typically results from high localized heat build-up at the pitch point during meshing. To mitigate mechanical degradation, we offer advanced plastic gear engineering modifications:

For custom precision gear tooling, the design and mold build phase typically spans 4 to 6 weeks. Following initial sample testing (T1 stage) and approval, production parts can be shipped via air express (3-5 days delivery to San José) or standard ocean freight (3-4 weeks transit to Puerto Limón or Puerto Caldera).
Yes, we offer cleanroom molding capabilities. Our automated setup helps control environmental particulates during injection and packaging, ensuring compliance with strict international cleanliness standards required by medical OEMs in Costa Rican Free Trade Zones.
We work within tight dimensional limits, achieving tolerances down to ±0.01mm on critical gear tooth dimensions. By monitoring key process parameters like mold temperature and injection velocity, we maintain consistent part quality and low defect rates across production runs.
All our raw resins (including engineering plastics like POM, PEEK, Nylon, and ABS) are sourced from certified global producers. We provide material compliance certificates (RoHS, REACH, and UL flame ratings) with each delivered shipment.
