Highest Precision for Your Application – High-Precision gearboxes by AKIM
When the smallest deviations are critical. For exact positioning and reproducible movements.
What You Achieve:
- You achieve highest precision
- Hochdynamische Bewegungen
- 24/7-Dauerbetrieb
Every tenth of a degree counts?
Then you've come to the right place.
Your robot axis must position precisely. Your machine tool requires maximum repeat accuracy. Standard gearboxes have too much backlash – that is your problem.
Our solution:
low-backlash precision gearboxes with adjustable backlash < 0.02°. For applications where precision determines success or failure.
In a nutshell:
Cycloid gears or eccentric gears are often used where precise positioning, freedom from play and repeat accuracy are important. They are ideal for applications with high requirements for accuracy and dynamics.
Where high-precision gearboxes are used
Our gearboxes are used wherever failures, inaccuracies or downtime are not an option.

ACBAR Eccentric Gearboxes
Compact & indestructible for the toughest applications
ACBAR Eccentric Gearboxes are engineered for applications where maximum robustness, high overload capacity and reliable continuous operation are essential. They withstand extreme shock loads and harsh industrial environments.
What you achieve:
Maximum availability and minimal downtime — in conveyor systems, cranes, cableways, travel drives and demanding industrial applications.
Ideal for:
- Compact & virtually indestructible
- Gear ratio: up to 13,600:1 per stage (multi-stage possible)
- Torque: up to 1,000 Nm possible
- Universally applicable
- Lifetime lubrication, low maintenance
Technical highlights:
- 6 sizes: Type 11 (80 Nm) to Type 501 (1,000 Nm)
- Gear ratios: up to 13,600:1 in a single stage
- Design versions: flange-mounted, foot-mounted housing, direct motor mounting
- Overload capacity: high robustness due to cycloidal kinematics
- Smooth operation: uniform load distribution instead of point contacts
Servo Cycloid Gearboxes
Maximum precision for dynamic motion
Servo cycloidal gearboxes are designed for applications where minimal tolerances and exact motion profiles are critical. They enable precise power transmission combined with exceptionally smooth operation.
What you achieve:
Precise motion that performs reliably — in robotics, machine tools, rotary tables and positioning systems.
Ideal for:
- Compact & highly robust
- Gear ratio: up to 100:1 per stage (multi-stage possible)
- Torque: up to 4,000 Nm
- Universally applicable
- Zero backlash possible (< 0.02°)
Technical highlights:

- Adjustable backlash: torsional backlash adjustable down to < 0.02°
- Gear ratios: up to 100:1 in a very compact design
- Moment of inertia: extremely low for fast acceleration
- Torsional stiffness: high for precise positioning
Alignment & Slewing Gearboxes
Precise positioning of large masses
Alignment & slewing gearboxes are designed for applications where large masses must be aligned or slewed precisely, repeatably and safely. Each gearbox is consistently engineered to customer specification.
What you achieve:
Precise positioning and repeatability — in alignment and tracking drives, antenna and radar systems, as well as slewing drives in heavy machinery.
Ideal for:
- Custom-engineered design
- Torque: up to over 100,000 Nm
- Multi-stage design possible
- Low-backlash or adjustable backlash
- High repeatability
- Maximum overload capacity
Technical highlights:
- Design: engineered consistently to customer specification
- Torque: up to over 100,000 Nm
- Low-backlash: low-backlash or adjustable (on request down to < 0.02°)
- Design concept: multi-stage possible for very high overall reductions
- Torsional stiffness: high for precise positioning
