GEARBOX SOLUTIONS
Machine tools
Powerful in application and efficiency.
Machine tool construction requires high precision, repeat accuracy, maximum acceleration and productivity for complex applications. At the same time, the focus is on reducing production costs and thus increasing cost-effectiveness. We score points with high-precision, high-performance and high-torque series. Whether you need a wide torque range, minimized backlash, high acceleration or low maintenance with a long service life – we help you maximize your profitability.
Woodworking
Overload-proof and robust gearboxes with high torque.
The woodworking industry demands maximum flexibility and efficiency. Individual production, rapid changes in demand and the wide variety of products on offer in the furniture industry require high production speeds on the manufacturing side without compromising on quality and process reliability, as well as minimizing manufacturing costs. For every application, our product portfolio offers high-performance and high-torque gearboxes in various sizes that are robust and overload-proof to ensure many years of use.
Automation
Process-safe handling completely automatically.
In the field of automation and handling, the requirements in terms of productivity, speed and cost-effectiveness are constantly increasing. We impress with high-performance gearboxes that can be individually adapted and offer a long service life and maximum process reliability.
Food and medicine
Hygienic and corrosion-resistant for the highest cleanliness requirements.
The food industry places the highest demands on hygiene and cleanliness. This applies to people, machines and components. Dirt deposits on systems must be largely eliminated, or at least easy to remove. Toxic contamination of the goods produced by the lubricants used must be avoided 100 percent. The machines and components must be resistant to corrosion even with regular and intensive cleaning. Maximum availability, energy efficiency and component dynamics are our requirements for every gearbox. We also supply food-grade lubricants (NSF H1).
Robotics
Repeat accuracy and maximum precision for more efficient throughput times.
In the fields of robotics and handling, machines work with maximum precision – often around the clock. Our planetary gearboxes are optimally designed for these special requirements. Individually configured according to your needs, robust components increase the running performance of highly dynamic and linear handling applications. The low dead weight of our gearbox components leads to a positive control effect in multi-axis systems and therefore to more efficient throughput times. The high torsional rigidity guarantees repeat accuracy in pick-and-place systems.
Logistics and transportation
Long-lasting dynamics and efficiency with maximum cycle rates.
Intralogistics is one of the most important areas of application for our drive solutions: Reliability, durability and efficiency are in demand in this industry. The requirements are high – especially due to the so-called Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) of e-commerce. Our drives can be individually configured for specific applications: Maximizing throughput by increasing the number of cycles, more dynamics for faster lifting and lowering, increasing energy efficiency by reducing weight and installation space: you define the requirements, we deliver the solution – competently, quickly and economically.
Packaging industry
Well packaged – smoothly, precisely and quickly.
We can look back on many years of experience as a supplier to the packaging industry. With our wide variety of gearbox solutions, we meet the high demands of the packaging industry. Our gearboxes can be individually adapted to all required areas of application with a wide range of performance: precise, fast and low-maintenance. Their robustness ensures smooth production with high quality and efficiency.
BRAKE SOLUTIONS
Mining
Solid systems for conveyor belt brakes.
They are true giants, defying the toughest conditions: XXL conveyor systems in mining, which extract millions of tons of raw material or move extensive materials. Our ultra-robust disk brakes do a great job around the clock for decades. Above or below ground, in the harshest environments, under extreme temperature and weather conditions, they perform reliably, for example in hoisting and closing gear or shaft hoisting systems. Corrosion and explosion-proof, safe and, above all, intelligent: because the clever control technology always ensures smooth downhill operation.
Cranes and hoists
Variable high-end systems for hoists and trolleys.
Used in various crane travel, trolley travel and crane slewing gears as well as winches, our brakes meet the highest customer requirements. Users from all over the world particularly appreciate the high response speed and the compact design of the electrically ready-to-connect brake units. The design is based precisely on the on-site conditions of the systems – not the other way around. The modular design of the EHS brake unit with integrated compact hydraulics offers the greatest possible degree of variability. Equipped with a monitoring system, nickel-plated and KTA-compliant, they are among the top international products.
Cable machines
Powerful and compact from the smart modular system.
From XXS to XXXL: In the stranding machine / cable machine application, we develop and manufacture customized brakes in all dimensions – Made in Germany. For every machine size! The ingenious modular principle makes it possible. Some of the brakes are successfully used in one of the largest machines for the production of submarine cables. Our highly controllable and compact continuous-slip brakes are in particularly high demand on the market. The stop and holding brake applications are characterized by above-average robustness.
Wire machines
Robust brakes in every size dimension.
They are robust, durable and extremely compact: our brake units preferred by the wire industry for a wide range of applications. Unique: The ingenious modular principle enables brakes in every size dimension – brakes that can be used in every conceivable machine size. In the case of continuous slip brakes, the systems are recommended for their efficient, highly developed braking technology in the tightest of spaces and perfect modulation. Due to their particular robustness, the brakes are also used for stopping and holding brake applications.
Amusement parks
Reliable solutions for demanding tasks.
Our brakes are used wherever hard work is carried out, including in the leisure industry. The industry has valued our expertise for decades. We are there where 100 percent solutions are required. In amusement rides, brakes have to brake quickly but gently and be tailored to specific requirements. The most important factor is reliability, because: Only when people trust your equipment does the fun get free rein.
Shipbuilding
Safety at sea.
More than the sum of its parts – in addition to individual components, we primarily offer fully assembled brake systems for shipbuilding.
