The fundamental mode of operation for gearing and its transmission of mechanical power remains unchanged — as has that for the electric motors with which they pair. But innovative variations have become increasingly common and include more custom gearing, compact designs, and better gearboxes and servogear sets (including helical gearing) for efficiency. Gearing and gearmotors […]

New gearhead family features high torque, wide range of gear ratios
New pure metal GPT gearheads from FAULHABER MICROMO feature performance values comparable to more expensive technologies on the market like ceramic components. The gearheads are available in diameters of 22, 32 and 42 mm. Compared to predecessor models, the continuous input speed was more than doubled above 10,000 rpm, and can support input speeds up […]
How do cycloidal gears work and where are they used?
One way to classify gears is by the profile of the gear teeth: involute, cycloidal, or trochoidal. (Note that trochoidal gears are used primarily in pumps.) The majority of gears used in motion control applications — including spur, helical, and bevel designs — are involute gears. However, cycloidal gears are a good choice for motion control […]
Pedal electric cycles (pedelecs) employ FAULHABER electric motors
In many parts of the world, bicycles are central to the culture — both for recreation and practical transportation for everyday tasks such as shopping or commuting to and from work. Efforts to reduce CO2 emissions, concerns about climate change, and rising fossil-fuel costs in many areas (along with congested roadways) have only spurred more […]
New DieQua PGW Series hollow-bore-output planetary reducers
Now DieQua Corp. (solution-based supplier of gear drives) sells PGW Series reducers in variations that are particularly suitable for belt and leadscrew-driven axes. The manufacturer works with engineers to find optimal products from a wide range of available gearbox technologies for design requirements. DieQua’s PGW planetary reducers are: Low-backlash designs — with backlash down to […]
NORD extends single-stage, helical gear unit line with three new sizes
NORD Gear Corporation has added three single-stage gear units to its NORDBLOC.1 line.
