Power and Speed with Precision. We develop and manufacture high-precision spur and planetary gearheads as well as screw drives that perfectly match maxon electric motors with respect to speed, torque, or inertia. From Plug-and-Play to Customer-specific Solutions. If performance is required at high torque levels and correspondingly low speeds, maxon precision gearheads come into their own. All maxon gearheads are mounted onto the selected motors on site at the factory. The motor pinion is the input gear of the first gear stage and is rigidly connected to the motor shaft. In addition, we offer customized modifications for specialized power requirements as well as customer-specific requirements. maxon Gearheads: Key information at a glance. In most cases, the selection of the gearhead type is based on the maximum transmissible power. We have structured our series in accordance with key parameters to help you find the appropriate gearhead faster. GSW GPX GP No ✓ (SPEED) No No No Size Size Open Close Strain wave gearheads are ideal for high-precision positioning tasks in robotics or other demanding applications. High precision Zero backlash Compact design Zero backlash High precision Compact design Open Open Close High power in a compact design Planetary gearheads are compact and due to their robust design, they are ideal for all applications that require very high torques in confined spaces. Compact design High torques Sterilizable High torques Sterilizable Plastic or ceramic versions High torques Sterilizable Plastic or ceramic versions Configurable planetary gearheads The GPX planetary gearheads also combine high power transmission with a very short design. As a result of their modular design and scaled stages, we can implement customer-specific solutions quickly. Different versions are available to optimally match the gearhead to the corresponding application: Standard, ceramic, high-power, high-speed, reduced noise level, or reduced backlash.
