Our portfolio comprises two distinct segments meeting very different requirements: our High-End products are focused on technology and performance whereas in the General segment the emphasis is on cost-conscious, demand-based solutions.

Our unparalleled research and development expertise is also reflected in our solutions: from low-backlash planetary gearboxes through servo right-angle gearboxes and complete drive units to the Galaxie^® Drive System – a world first – or cymex^® 5, our fundamentally redesigned sizing software.

More than a million of our units are in use around the world – for example in machine tools and production systems, food and packaging machines, wood processing machines, robotics, transportation, automation and handling technologies.

Customers can benefit from our strengths in two very different areas of our portfolio: on the one hand, we offer a broad range of products in the low-to-mid performance range. On the other, we develop an array of solutions for even the most challenging drive applications.

The products we supply in the General segment are distinguished by high flexibility, rapid availability and economic efficiency. alpha Value Line, our modular gearbox series, is a good example here. It meets the requirements of performance classes where technical and economic aspects have to be simultaneously optimized.

When it comes to maximum performance and the very latest technologies, the products in our High-End segment are first choice. Our highly innovative solutions and exceptional quality are sure to excite you. Our alpheno^® series, for instance, sets new benchmarks in terms of power density. Our impressive portfolio underlies our ability to supply customers with complete solutions for driving any axis: whereas the primary axes of machine tools and production systems are equipped with High-End drive systems, drives in the General segment are used for secondary axes such as tool changers.

We are committed to giving our customers a clear competitive edge with our products – and this can only be achieved with unconventional thinking and a constant search for improvements. This is why our solutions operate reliably in the most extreme conditions and set industry standards in power density or service life.

The revolutionary Galaxie^® Drive System is just one outstanding example of our innovative vitality. The engineers did everything differently this time and achieved a fundamentally better design. Galaxie^® creates totally new opportunities for high performance engineering.

The new cymex^® select steers our customers to the optimum drive solution within a few seconds. The tool suggests the most suitable gearbox based on your application data or the desired motor.

With our CAD POINT, customers find performance data and CAD data for the product they are looking for in just a few clicks. Using the intuitive menus, it is easy to configure the appropriate drive system and request the required data. 

The universe of applications includes machine tools, logistics processes, conveyance and processing technology, medical technology, aerospace and more. In fact, eighty-five percent of our sales are generated with products less than five years old.
