Our services complement each other perfectly

We have developed from a manufacturing company into a highly specialized system provider of gearing solutions. Research & development, prototyping & testing, production, assembly and gearbox revision are perfectly interlinked. You are free to combine individual services, work with us in just one discipline or purchase the complete package from us.

System solutions

Customised system solutions

Are you looking for a suitable system solution for your specific application? We offer customised system solutions that are adapted to exceptional applications. With us, there is no standard gearbox, but a gearbox that meets the specific requirements with the greatest possible efficiency. Our solutions set standards in terms of installation space, weight and power density, noise level and cost-effectiveness. We combine the technical solution with the manufacturing implementation in a unique way. Tell us about your challenge and we will convince you with our clever, innovative and high-quality solutions – all from a single source.

Engineering

Next generation technology

Through research, we are always one step ahead of the state of the art. Do you have a challenge? We’ll find the right solution.

Research: We are also reinventing the gear wheel

In our research, we focus on increasing power density and efficiency, reducing mass and installation space while maintaining the same transmission ratio, minimizing sound pressure levels and introducing innovative materials and manufacturing methods.

Development: You have the problem, we have the solution

To meet your specific requirements in the best possible way, we develop a customised solution for you. You benefit from our many years of project experience and the use of synergies from application examples from various industrial sectors. As a family business, we have short decision-making paths within our powerful development team. With us, you get everything from a single source, from development, prototype production and testing under load to a validated product – in the shortest possible lead time.

Thanks to our proximity to production, we optimise technical feasibility, functionality and costs at an early stage. The range of services includes the complete gearbox design, including gearing, bearing and housing design, testing and validation, support in technical calculation and analysis, as well as training and the optimisation of production technology.

Prototyping & testing

Efficient prototype development and reliable drive testing

Speed, flexibility and precision are crucial in prototype development. Our many years of experience in the manufacturing sector enable us to produce components quickly and precisely, even without technical drawing specifications. At the same time, we offer comprehensive support in the testing and documentation of drive components. Our experts are on hand to assist you with new topics and take care of the entire test planning, design, execution and documentation so that you can concentrate on your innovations.

Production

Quality down to the last detail

A high level of vertical integration enables us to have direct control over the individual sub-operations and ensure the highest quality with short delivery times.

In order to always offer you the best solutions, we continuously invest in innovative manufacturing processes and technologies. Our many years of experience in manufacturing implementation, coupled with our engineering expertise, guarantee that we will successfully realize your project.

Gearbox revision & repairs

To keep you up and running

To keep your machines running smoothly for as long as possible, we offer complete overhauls regardless of origin and brand. We dismantle the gearboxes on site, measure all relevant parts for production and manufacture new ones if required. Standard parts are procured by us. If necessary, we also carry out a repainting so that we can return the gearbox to you as new. We also offer support in analyzing gearboxes and their components. This includes damage assessment and suggestions for optimisation.
