High-Speed Gearbox Solutions
High speed gearbox manufacturers play an essential role in developing gear units that can operate reliably under elevated rotational speed and torque requirements. These gearboxes are designed to support demanding industrial applications where efficiency, precision, and durability are critical.
A high speed planetary gearbox is a precision gear unit engineered to handle input speeds of up to 13,000 RPM while maintaining high torque output, low backlash, and exceptional efficiency. Like all planetary gearboxes, it uses a coaxial configuration of a sun gear, planet gears, and a ring gear, with the planet carrier transferring power to the output shaft.
What makes high-speed versions unique is their ability to:
-
Support continuous operation at high RPMs without thermal degradation
-
Maintain tight backlash tolerances (<1 arcmin) even at speed
-
Deliver high torque multiplication through deep gear ratios
-
Reduce reflected inertia, improving motor responsiveness
These qualities make high-speed gearboxes well-suited for applications that demand compact design, continuous operation, and precise motion control — from automation systems using planetary gearboxes to larger industrial units requiring high ratio gearbox options.

Types of High-Speed Gear Units
Neugart provides a wide range of high-speed gearbox designs, including:
-
Inline planetary gearboxes – compact and efficient, these gearboxes deliver high torque density in a small footprint. Their coaxial design ensures balanced load distribution and reliable operation at elevated speeds.
-
Helical gearboxes – featuring an angled tooth profile that ensures smoother engagement, higher efficiency, and quieter operation than spur gears, making models such as the PSN and PSBN well-suited for continuous duty.
-
Custom gear units – engineered to match exact specifications and configurable for specific torque, backlash, and mounting needs; ensure seamless integration into specialized machinery.
Applications of High-Speed Gearboxes
High-speed gearboxes are essential in demanding environments where performance, precision, and reliability are required. Their compact design, high-duty cycle capability, and role as precision speed reducers make them valuable across industries. Typical applications include:
-
Robotics and automation – ensuring dynamic motion control with compact planetary gearboxes that handle high duty cycles
-
Machine tooling – delivering precision and reliability in spindles, milling, and grinding machines operating at high rotational speed
-
Printing and packaging machines – supporting continuous production with efficient, low-noise gear units designed for high throughput.
-
Medical equipment – providing smooth, accurate motion in devices where compact design and tight tolerances are critical.
-
Rotary and linear actuators – enhancing responsiveness by reducing reflected inertia and maintaining accuracy at speed
