Gearheads
Power and Speed with Precision.
We develop and manufacture high-precision spur and planetary gearheads as well as screw drives that perfectly match maxon electric motors with respect to speed, torque, or inertia.
From Plug-and-Play to Customer-specific Solutions.
If performance is required at high torque levels and correspondingly low speeds, maxon precision gearheads come into their own. All maxon gearheads are mounted onto the selected motors on site at the factory. The motor pinion is the input gear of the first gear stage and is rigidly connected to the motor shaft.
In addition, we offer customized modifications for specialized power requirements as well as customer-specific requirements.
maxon Gearheads: Key information at a glance.
In most cases, the selection of the gearhead type is based on the maximum transmissible power. We have structured our series in accordance with key parameters to help you find the appropriate gearhead faster.
