News | Precision gears: The advantages of a flexible modular product system

A flexible modular product system combines the advantages of series production with custom-tailored solution concepts and serves as a benchmark for efficiency, flexibility, availability, user friendliness, and cost-effectiveness with respect to gears. Discover the strengths of our modular solutions!

When gears have to fulfil specific requirements, the limitations of standard products soon become obvious. The need is for solutions that are custom-tailored to the particular application and that convince in terms of short delivery times, high availability, and a strong price/performance ratio. A flexible modular product system brings together all these advantages: It combines the efficiency of series production with the flexibility of individual solutions, thus solving seemingly contradictory requirements in an ideal manner.

Modular gears offer numerous advantages:

  • High level of individual customisation
  • Flexibility in application
  • Reduction of variants
  • Outstanding scalability
  • Simplified configuration
  • Shorter development times
  • Faster delivery times
  • Simplified maintenance
  • More efficient parts management
  • High availability
  • Optimal cost-effectiveness

Modular product system for gears

That is why we pursue a modular approach with our cycloidal gears and strain wave gears. The use of standardised elements, versatile combinable components, and adaptable interfaces allows the fast configuration of gears that are custom tailored to the requirements of your application. A high level of modularity and standardisation also allows economical large-scale production and guarantees high availability

Precision cycloidal gears: Custom-tailored flexibility

We are the world’s largest manufacturer of precision cycloidal gears and offer the most extensive and most diverse product portfolio. Our series cover a wide range of requirements and feature maximum flexibility and a high level of customisation – both for small series and large quantities. Large gears are likewise suitable for modular configuration and precise adaptation to the specific operating conditions.

Custom-designed strain wave gears

Our strain wave gears are especially suitable for low-torque applications. We can also customise them for your particular application in terms of performance, geometry, material, and interfaces, including functional, component and system integration, as required. Gear properties, such as backdriving torque, overload capacity, transmission precision, main bearing, efficiency, weight, and inertia, can also be customised.

Modular strain wave gears:

  • Gear sets: The simplest strain wave gear variant
  • Gear sets plus: Strain wave gears with output bearings
  • Gear units: Enclosed plug & play solutions
  • Actuators: Powerful complete systems
