New series of high-power gearboxes from Dunkermotoren for AGVs and other applications

April 26, 2017 By Lisa Eitel Leave a Comment

With applications needing designs with higher performance to deliver more dynamic motion profiles, there are more demands than ever put on gearbox technology. Plus the demands of the drive require more power in a smaller footprint — as in autonomous guided vehicles (AGVs) and other applications, for example. Dunkermotoren meets these challenging criteria with new high-power gearboxes including the PLG 63 HP, […]
