The primary product lines include planetary gearboxes and right-angle gearboxes from both the Economy Line and Precision Line. The Economy Line features models such as PLE, PLQE, PLPE, PLHE, PLFE, PFHE, WPLE, and WPLQE, offering cyclic torque ranges from 5 to 800 Nm. The Precision Line includes PSNpro, PSFNpro, PSBNpro, and PSFN55 models, characterized by minimal backlash and high torsional stiffness. Additionally, the company provides rack and pinion systems for maximum precision and efficiency, along with application-specific gearboxes like NDF, NDFC, and NGV for Delta robots and industrial automated guided vehicles (AGVs), and hygienic design gearboxes (HLAE) for the food and pharmaceutical industries. Key technologies encompass high torque density, minimal backlash, superior rigidity, vibration-free performance, high torsional stiffness, smooth and quiet operation, high efficiency (94-97% even at high RPMs up to 13,000 RPM), optimized tooth geometry, and advanced materials for enhanced dynamic load resistance. Software tools like Tec Data Finder (TDF) for technical data sheets and CAD models, and the Neugart Calculation Program (NCP 4.2) for optimal motor-gearbox combinations, support customer engineering processes.Theprimaryproductlinesincludeplanetarygearboxesandright-anglegearboxesfromboththeEconomyLineandPrecisionLine.TheEconomyLinefeaturesmodelssuchasPLE,PLQE,PLPE,PLHE,PLFE,PFHE,WPLE,andWPLQE,offeringcyclictorquerangesfrom5to800Nm.ThePrecisionLineincludesPSNpro,PSFNpro,PSBNpro,andPSFN55models,characterizedbyminimalbacklashandhightorsionalstiffness.Additionally,thecompanyprovidesrackandpinionsystemsformaximumprecisionandefficiency,alongwithapplication-specificgearboxeslikeNDF,NDFC,andNGVforDeltarobotsandindustrialautomatedguidedvehicles(AGVs),andhygienicdesigngearboxes(HLAE)forthefoodandpharmaceuticalindustries.Keytechnologiesencompasshightorquedensity,minimalbacklash,superiorrigidity,vibration-freeperformance,hightorsionalstiffness,smoothandquietoperation,highefficiency(94-97%evenathighRPMsupto13,000RPM),optimizedtoothgeometry,andadvancedmaterialsforenhanceddynamicloadresistance.SoftwaretoolslikeTecDataFinder(TDF)fortechnicaldatasheetsandCADmodels,andtheNeugartCalculationProgram(NCP4.2)foroptimalmotor-gearboxcombinations,supportcustomerengineeringprocesses.
Economy Line planetary gearboxes are lightweight, powerful, and utilize low-friction bearings, making them suitable for demanding production cycles. Precision Line gearboxes are engineered for servo motor applications, ensuring high precision, reliability, and easy integration. The HLAE hygienic design gearbox is notably the world's first to receive 3-A RPSCQC certification, meeting stringent hygiene requirements in the food and pharmaceutical sectors. Custom gearboxes and geared parts are manufactured to specific customer needs, leveraging extensive machining capabilities from hobbing to honing. High-speed planetary gearboxes are precision units designed to handle input speeds up to 13,000 RPM while maintaining high torque output, low backlash, and exceptional efficiency. The company's modular system allows for a wide range of applications, providing quick and economical solutions.EconomyLineplanetarygearboxesarelightweight,powerful,andutilizelow-frictionbearings,makingthemsuitablefordemandingproductioncycles.PrecisionLinegearboxesareengineeredforservomotorapplications,ensuringhighprecision,reliability,andeasyintegration.TheHLAEhygienicdesigngearboxisnotablytheworld'sfirsttoreceive3-ARPSCQCcertification,meetingstringenthygienerequirementsinthefoodandpharmaceuticalsectors.Customgearboxesandgearedpartsaremanufacturedtospecificcustomerneeds,leveragingextensivemachiningcapabilitiesfromhobbingtohoning.High-speedplanetarygearboxesareprecisionunitsdesignedtohandleinputspeedsupto13,000RPMwhilemaintaininghightorqueoutput,lowbacklash,andexceptionalefficiency.Thecompany'smodularsystemallowsforawiderangeofapplications,providingquickandeconomicalsolutions.
