Precision cycloidal gearboxes are the key to greater productivity, efficiency and flexibility in production.
Cycloidal gears use cam disks and rollers to transmit power. This ensures high efficiency, enormous resistance to shock loads and minimal backlash over the entire service life.
Due to their special design, they are significantly more precise, dynamic, and rigid than commonly used rotary tables and standard planetary gears, and can therefore achieve considerable efficiency improvements.
Cycloidal gears are specialists in precision, dynamics and durability and take production to a new level of efficiency.
Nabtesco’s cycloidal gears guarantee fast and precise positioning movements with high loads without resonance and thus ensure the precise positioning of assemblies, components, workpieces and tools, even with heavy loads or very fast and abrupt movements.
Features of Cycloidal Gears
