Düsseldorf serves as the headquarters, European head office and the cradle for success of Nabtesco Precision Europe GmbH. Here you will find the heartbeat of the precision gears. Here is where ideas transform into innovations. Here is where drive technology is re-conceived. Whether it be cycloidal gears, strain wave gears or mechatronic systems: The capital of North Rhine-Westphalia is the place where know-how and experience are turned into solutions that pave the way into the future and set new standards across the globe.

Nabtesco in Düsseldorf

Established in 1992, the Nabtesco Hub houses the departments of development, manufacturing, assembly, sales, and service under one roof. Spanning a surface area of 5,000 sqm, the site allows teams from different fields to collaborate on solutions “Made in Germany” – from singular gears to drive units to complete mechatronic systems. The gear and drive concepts are distinguished by their supreme level of precision, dynamics, reliability, and economy, delivering substantial boosts in performance and efficiency – whether it be in robotics or in general machine and plant engineering. Meanwhile, well over 13 million Nabtesco gear systems are in use worldwide (complaint rate = 0.01 %).

Expertise, experience, engineering

For years, Nabtesco has been driving forward the hybridization, digitization and integration of their products, consolidating them into valuable synergies for the family of companies. Pairing exceptional engineering expertise with patented manufacturing processes, the company from Düsseldorf has the right experts on the team and can draw from a wealth of experience as well as a highly versatile and modular product system. The product portfolio comprises both high-torque cycloidal gears and zero-backlash strain wave gears – developed and manufactured at the Ovalo GmbH location in Limburg / Lahn – making it the most extensive and most diverse precision gear portfolio on the market. Full scalability from 7 to 7,000 Nm guarantees a seamless gear strategy, as well as optimally matched systems. The result is impressive performance - especially when these two factors work in concert. If the larger axes of a robot or machine are equipped with cycloidal gears and the smaller axes in the vicinity of the end effector with strain wave gears, this combination achieves the best possible precision from all interlinked axes.

Focus on mechatronic systems

At present, the company places particular focus on the areas of mechatronics and the development of data-driven services. Whether it be digital strain wave gears, precision actuators, tailor-made drive solutions for exoskeletons, the world's first purely electric steering and drive solution without hydraulics for commercial vehicles (CV-EPS) or a condition monitoring system with fail-safe (CMFS) for wind turbines: The mechatronic solutions devised by Nabtesco meet the requirements of the markets consistently and create true added value.

Innovative solutions that promote technological progress

Those who wish to shape the future require innovative technologies, progressive concepts, and unconventional solutions. The Nabtesco Precision Europe GmbH in Düsseldorf is the perfect partner for accomplishing this goal. As an experienced technology expert and global innovation leader, the company knows the requirements of their customers to a T and implements future-proof and scalable solutions that are sure to master all current and future challenges.
