Extreme torques or high speeds? High-performance gearboxes from AKIM

Your benefits at a glance:

  • Handle extreme torques
  • Achieve high speeds
  • Indestructible gearbox solutions
  • Your application needs robustness, not just precision.

    You need high speeds, extreme torques, or maximum robustness. Standard gearboxes are not enough – that's your problem.

    Our solution: Robust gearboxes for the toughest industrial applications – up to over 10,000 rpm or up to 100,000 Nm. For applications where reliability matters.

    In a nutshell:

    For high-performance applications, we primarily rely on robust planetary gearboxes and powerful cycloidal gearboxes that reliably transmit high torques. Depending on the load profile and lifetime requirements, we select the appropriate gearbox principle together with you and adapt the design to your specifications.
