Patented output sealing systems design eliminates friction and heat generation which is accomplished by applying our hi-tech coating to all output contact surfaces. This coating reaches a hardness of 3700Hv and is ground to Ra 0.2 µ m finish to ensure sealing.
NEW -
Patented input sealing system design eliminates break away torque and decreases friction/heat. The hi-tech coating bushing (3700 Hv, Ra 0.2 µ m finish) interfaces with our proprietary seal which decreases wear and erosion of both sealing surfaces. This new patent prevents leakage and has a service life of over 30,000 hours.

True Helical Gear Design
Precision helical gearing increases tooth to tooth contact ratio by over 33% vs spur gearing. The helix angle produces smooth and quiet operation with decreased backlash (less than 1 arc-minutes and ≤ 56dB).
Equipped with solid uncaged needle roller bearings, provides maximum contact points to increase stiffness and generates high output toque.
A high setting gear performance is achieved by using our HeliTopo technology. This eases off the tooth profile and crowns the lead of each tooth. This optimizes the gear mesh alignment and overlap to achieve maximum tooth surface contact.
Our in house plasma nitriding heat treatment process maintains the tooth surface hardness at 840Hv for superior wear-resistance and a core hardness at 30 HRc for toughness.
One piece planet carrier with extended bearing design provides maximum radial load capacity and increases system reliability and stiffness.
Lubricated with Nyogel 792D synthetic grease (Smart Grease) and sealed to IP65 standards prevents leakage and is maintenance free.
Patented planet carrier design puts the sun gear bearing directly into the planet carrier. It minimizes gear misalignment to gain higher accuracy.
Triple split collet with dynamic balanced set collar clamping system provides backlash free power transmission and eliminates slippage. 100% concentricity allows for smooth rotation and higher input speed capability.
Precision taper roller bearing support to increase radial and axial loading capacity
