Backlash-free strain wave gears in excellent quality
Strain wave gears are characterized by absolute zero backlash, excellent repeat accuracy and a high torque capacity - all with small dimensions and low weight. We can also design all strain wave gears individually and tailor the performance, geometry, material, interfaces and gearbox properties precisely to your application, including function, component and system integration if required. This means that you do not have to compromise on the design of your machine or robot. Our motto: It is not the application that has to be adapted to the gearbox, but the gearbox to the requirements.
Our strain wave gears
We take backlash-free technology to a new dimension and offer you unique high performers with the best cost efficiency. Our strain wave gears redefine quality, flexibility, availability and integration and give you maximum design freedom. This is unique on the market and a real game changer for robotics and automation.

The advantages of our strain wave gears
Our strain wave gears stand for maximum performance, the highest level of quality, incredible flexibility and consistent customer orientation. Production is carried out in accordance with automotive standards and guarantees the highest quality, large volumes, short development cycles, complete traceability and a high degree of cost-effectiveness.
Strain wave gears Next Level:
- Adjustable backdriving torque, e.g. very low for cobots, high for chassis
- Adaptation of torsional rigidity to your control systems and requirements
- Maintenance-free over the entire service life
- Higher economic efficiency possible through material selection and process adaptations, automotive DNA
- Higher dynamic torques compared to conventional strain wave gears, keyword Super High Torque
- Better efficiency than with conventional strain wave gears
- Cross-size integration through combination of different components
- Torque capacity is higher compared to conventional strain wave gears
- Operating temperature: -20 °C to +70 °C
- 100 % traceability
You have the choice
All strain wave gears can be realized as hat type gear (HTG) and cup type gear (CTG).
The main advantage of the hat gear is the larger hollow shaft, while the cup gear has a higher overload capacity.
