Press release | Nabtesco Precision Europe takes over the entire OVALO sales organisation

OVALO GmbH has been a wholly owned subsidiary of the Nabtesco Europe GmbH since 2017. Now comes the next step – integration of the sales and marketing activities in Nabtesco Precision Europe GmbH. The bundling of competences generates valuable synergies and opens up new potentials for customers.

The decision to purchase precision gears from Nabtesco Precision Europe is a decision for maximum quality, safety, availability, and durability, as well as first-rate customer service. For more than 35 years, the largest and most experienced manufacturer of precision cycloidal gears has been defining technological standards, as a highly sought-after partner specialising in robotic and automation solutions. The integration of the OVALO sales and marketing activities in Nabtesco Precision Europe GmbH marks yet another achievement for the gear specialist.

Zero backlash strain wave gears with high reduction ratios

Nabtesco Precision Europe offers the most extensive and most diverse range of precision gear products. The line of cycloidal gears will now be supplemented by strain wave gears of excellent quality. The compact precision gears feature absolute zero backlash, outstanding repeatability and a high torque capacity – all in a compact and lightweight design. They are especially suitable for low-torque applications and are used wherever high performance is required in a tight installation space. In this respect, the zero backlash strain wave gears ideally supplement cycloidal gears, which due to their high rigidity are especially suitable for higher torques.

All strain wave gears are developed to exact customer requirements and the individual application. Production is compliant with automotive standards to guarantee the highest quality, large volumes, short development times and a high level of cost-effectiveness.

One face to the customer: Cycloidal and strain wave gears from a single source

“The synergy effects resulting from the merger generate genuine added value for our customers. Combining cycloidal gears and strain wave gears in one product range allows us to achieve complete scalability from 7 to 28,000 Nm. That puts us in a unique position as the only manufacturer capable of implementing suitable precision gear solutions for every single axis and application – from small to large, in robotics or mechanical engineering,” explains Marcus Löw, Managing Director of Nabtesco Precision Europe GmbH. He adds: “Having only one point of contact for all gears makes it possible to optimize engineering processes and speed up development cycles. The result: a seamless gear strategy, optimally matched systems, and a higher service level.”

All-inclusive automation bundle

With the full integration of OVALO’s sales and marketing activities, Nabtesco Precision Europe is starting a new chapter in the company’s success story, reinforcing its position as a reliable problem solver, an important innovator, and world market leader in the field of robotic gears. “As an experienced technology partner, we are familiar with the challenges of our customers, whom we support with sustainable solutions. No matter what they need or where they are: We are at their side, to take care of everything having to do with gears and drives – from initial consultation to selection and design, as well as production and maintenance”, emphasises Marcus Löw.

The strain wave gears are produced by the Ovalo GmbH in Limburg (wholly owned subsidiary of Nabtesco Europe Precision GmbH).
