With a gear you can Translations or change movement sizes. The transmission is driven by a motor. There are mechanical gears and fluid drives. You can find the latter in our section Hydraulic System. A gear sits between the Motor and the one to be driven machine element. The Drive Elements often over Couplings. There are the following types of gears: gear gears, cam gears, crank gears, roller gears, screw gears. The translation can take place in stages or continuously. Then there are electric transmissions, which we will not go into here.

Brand new gear

Below we present the latest Gear technology including from Getriebebau Nord, Neugart, Wittenstein. In the first block you will find industry-specific gear units, further down gear units for mechanical and plant engineering.

Smart cobot with digital ecosystem

16.03.2022 | Igus delivers from now on Service robot Rebel also available as a smart version. Just one year after the first presentation of the modular gearbox for cobots, igus is already recording 20 automation projects per week. The use of plastic makes the collaborative robots the lightest service at 8,2 kgrobot with cobot function in its class. All mechanical components in the Rebel are developed and manufactured by igus. The payload of the cobot is 2 kg and its range is 664 mm. 


 

Rack....coming soon

Wittenstein rack

Systems for positioning tasks in mechanical engineering and in the Food industry defy harsh environmental conditions. Such extremely high loads hold the Rack gear of Leantechnik stood easily. Such a rack and pinion drive is available in numerous Hubstemen, handling components and positioning systems in use worldwide. The following information is dedicated to the new developments.

The Timing belts is a universally applicable driving element for many industrial sectors such as automotive, packaging technology, mechanical engineering, tool making, printing technology, textile engineering. The latest new development is the Breco timing belt from Mulco, which comes with a new coating material can handle extremely hot temperatures. Details about this and other innovations can be found below in this article:

The compact design, the low-noise operation, the possibility of high torquee transferred to, the energy efficiency with high efficiencies and much more characterize the planetary gear out. Due to their high torsional rigidity, the arrangement of the Gears also for very good stability. Here we present new developments for industrial applications such as the smooth-running rotary gearboxes from Reccon or the industry 4.0 capable transmission von Wittenstein and various applications.

Strain wave gear are suitable for applications that require precise positioning and high repeatability. the Schaeffler Group puts on the Hannover Messe equal three new precision wave gears before: for Cobots, Industrial robots and torque applications. The kit for fully integrated Tribo strain wave gear of Igus has everything a Cobot needed to accelerate low-cost automation. We present these and other innovations to wave gears to you here:

Precision gears have a significant influence on the dynamics, positioning and repeat accuracy or the service life of a construction. Schaeffler effect in the young company Ultra Precision Drives Two types of transmission have been developed that exceed the current state of the art: the Strain wave gear Series RT and the planetary gear of the PSC series. Learn how to use your Robotic-Take application to a new level.

NORD has evolved from a gearbox manufacturer to a value chain partner for complete solutions Drive Technology developed. The product portfolio also includes the industrial gear Maxxdrive series for maximum output torques of 282.000 Nm for heavy-duty applications. Nord Drivesystem is currently presenting a new industrial gearbox for hoists. The example of a Bascule bridge shows how an individual drive solution with a short delivery time is created. You can find this and other news below:

schaeffler0819A complete virtual image of powertrains and gearboxes is only possible if gearbox, Rolling- and gearing specialists theirs simulation models digitally link with each other. Therefore, the cross-company and cross-system data exchange is one of the most important prerequisites for the generation of Digital Twins. Schaeffler and SEW have created such a data exchange.

systecA new addition to the Systec portfolio is the S030-50 worm gear, which offers a 90 degree force deflection with maximum precision. The mechatronics team has succeeded in putting together a particularly precise and powerful worm gear. The ratio of 50: 1 converts the maximum drive torque of 0,24 Nm into an output torque of 12 Nm. The high-precision gear not only shines with its maximum circumferential backlash of just 3,3 arcmin.

ZF Friedrichshafen presents a new one Hollow shaft gear for Main spindle drives in front. The new Transmission The series with hollow shaft will initially start with the HWG 280 and 380 variants. They belong to the “Duoplan” model family and, according to the manufacturer, have many advantages over conventional two-speed manual transmissions.

wittenstein0316Wittenstein Alpha presents the expanded portfolio of servo worm gears from the “V-Drive” product family. The newly developed V-Drive Basic is initially available in two sizes with the basic output types hollow shaft and solid shaft and a total of five gear ratios. The torsional backlash of 10 to ≤ 15 arcmin is specified for all versions.

wittenstein0218Wittenstein presents further developments of its "Galaxie" drive system, including a new size for axes with high requirements for compactness and precision with small to medium torques, an ultra-flat design and a gear version with or without hypoid pre-stage for space-saving machine integration. Practical exhibition models show these as well as the use and advantages of the gears in machine tools, milling heads and robot welding guns.
