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 are often connected via 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.
Crown gear production improved
April 14.04.2024, 3967 | In the past, bevel gears had the edge due to their manufacturing advantages. Welter has now further developed its production processes for crown gears and can now produce them in quality 5 according to DIN 0. These gears are very flexible with axis angles from 150 to XNUMX degrees. They enable the pinion to be moved axially.
Plug-and-play transmission for cobots and service robotics
November 30.11.2023, XNUMX | The potential for service robotics is great. Here, cobots take on monotonous and non-ergonomic tasks. For the simple, cost-effective implementation of such lightweight robots, Igus is introducing a gearbox kit for cobots. The focus is on the fully integrated Tribo wave gear with motor, absolute value encoder, force control and controller.
Planetary gearbox for rotary tables
Sep 11.09.2023, 0,1 | The completely redesigned drive for swivel axes from Schaeffler was implemented with a PSC precision planetary gearbox with a servo motor. The constant torsional backlash of just XNUMX arcmin over the service life makes it possible for the first time to dispense with a second drive for tensioning and eliminating torsional backlash.
Racks now also up to 2 m long
Sep 05.09.2023, 1 | Wittenstein now also offers the proven racks with a length of 2 m with a length of 2 m for linear systems. They simplify assembly, especially in short linear axes. If you combine it with the simple, quick, ergonomic and precise “Inira” assembly concept, there are further advantages with the new XNUMX-meter version.
Precision planetary gear with patented toothing
April 29.04.2023, XNUMX | With the precision planetary gearbox from the Schaeffler PSC series for industrial robots, designers have a tenfold lower torsional backlash and a threefold longer service life compared to the market standard. Such major leaps in development are very rare.
Sensorized wave gears for robotics
April 20.04.2023, XNUMX | Schaeffler's RT precision shaft gearboxes were designed for particularly dynamic and demanding robotics applications with a high torque level. Wave gears with fully integrated torque sensors are available as an option.
Two-stage worm spur gearbox with high ratios
February 15.02.2023, 30 | The worm-helical gearboxes in Groschopp's ZK series have been expanded: The ZKXNUMX combination of worm and spur gear stages allows high gear ratios and offers good efficiency. Made of aluminum, the gearboxes are particularly efficient and economical in combination with induction or servo motors.

worm gear | For high torque transmission
An worm gear is characterized by its ability to achieve high torque transmission in a compact design. It finds Application in elevators, conveyor systems or in automation technology where low-noise operation and self-locking are required. Modern worm gears are efficient, durable and optimized for precise control tasks. In this article you will discover some of these gearboxes from various manufacturers.
wave gear | For industrial robots, cobots + handling
Wave gears 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 from Igus has everything a Cobot needed to accelerate low-cost automation.
rack gear | Highly accurate for precise movements
Systems for positioning tasks in mechanical engineering and in the Food industry defy harsh environmental conditions. Such extremely high loads hold the Rack gear from Leantechnik stood easily. Such a rack and pinion drive is available in numerous lifting systems, handling components and positioning systems in use worldwide. The following product information is dedicated to the new developments.
