Food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics equipment builders compete on their ability to deliver more innovative processing and packaging, with higher throughput and less downtime.
Strict hygiene regulations require equipment to be cleaned often with water, steam, and harsh chemicals that can quickly destroy ordinary machine components.
These operating conditions pose challenges for gearbox manufacturers and Nidec is up to the task.
Nidec Drive Technology offers both, standard options and dedicated products designed to meet the needs of these challenging environments.
Nidec's High Precision Gearboxes
Nidec's high-precision gearboxes offer the ultimate in flexibility and ease of configuration with the highest level of precision, performance, and value that are unmatched in the industry.
Inline Planetary Gearboxes (VR Series) manufactured by Nidec offer a wide variety of frame sizes, ratios, and configurations that are unmatched in the industry.
Right-angle Planetary Gearboxes (EV Series) are the choice when space is limited. The core right-angle products are similar to the inline gearboxes with some differences in terms of internal bearing design and output mounting.
Flexwave is Nidec's latest strain wave (harmonic) gear unit that surpasses all others in accuracy and repeatability. Flexwave's compact design achieves zero backlash. It's ideal for any assembly automation application requiring fine positioning.
Right-angle Worm Gearboxes (EJ Series) are ideal for complex applications that require a compact footprint without sacrificing performance and flexibility.
Rotary Index Tables (ST Series) provide precision, flexibility, and options that are unsurpassed in the industry.
Traction Drives manufactured by Nidec excel in handling higher input, smoother rotation, higher reduction ratios, and lower backlash.
The ERH Series Cycloidal Gearbox is a compact, robust cycloidal reducer designed for servo applications.
