Products & services
Neco® series
The user-friendly gears of our Neco® series have made robot technology accessible in conventional machine and plant engineering. The ready-to-install servo gearboxes set standards with respect to design, corrosion protection, motor interface and modularity, in order to achieve huge leaps in performance. Now we have expanded the successful series to include models that are dimensioned for heavy-duty applications. Neco®HT high-torque gearboxes deliver torques of 3,800 to 9,000 Nm and guarantee high-precision positioning in applications with high weights and forces. They feature a unique level of modularity and standardisation, which ensures cost-effective series production and high availability.
Strain wave gears
Our strain wave gears feature absolute zero backlash, outstanding repeatability and a high torque capacity – all in a compact and lightweight design. They 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.
Digital strain wave gear
Our digital gearboxes combine high-precision, backlash-free strain wave gear technology with smart sensor technology and artificial intelligence - without any change in size. The strain wave gears meet all the requirements for integration into intelligently networked and digital production processes and make a decisive contribution to increasing efficiency, optimizing performance, conserving resources and improving cost-effectiveness. All in all, this results in potential savings in the double-digit percentage range.
Short gears
Strain wave gear technology with impressive performance improvement: The Nabtesco strain wave gears have been equipped with new detailed designs through changes to the gearbox geometry. As a result, every core component has been optimized. Convince yourself of 120% power density, 140% service life (10,000h, market standard 7,000h) and all this with the same size. Specially developed for humanoid robots and cobots.
