Understanding Your Large Gearbox Needs
Choosing the right large gearbox is critical for industries where uptime, precision, and efficiency cannot be compromised. Gearboxes transfer power, manage torque, and regulate speed in demanding applications — from high-speed automation systems to heavy-duty mobile platforms.
Where Large Gearboxes Are Used
-
Automation & Robotics – High-payload robotic arms and gantry systems.
-
Intralogistics & AGVs – Automated guided vehicles requiring compact, high-torque drives.
-
Packaging & Processing – Large rotary systems and indexing applications.
-
Machine Tools & Material Handling – Heavy workpiece handling and precise positioning.
Beyond automation, large gearboxes are also critical in mining, marine, power generation, and heavy manufacturing — sectors where durability and torque handling are essential. While Neugart focuses on precision planetary gearboxes, our largest frame sizes bridge the gap for applications requiring higher torque and reliability than typical servo gear units.

Precision Planetary Gear Reducers
Engineered for applications requiring exceptional accuracy in torsional backlash and rigidity. These high-performance reducers offer superior IP protection ratings, enhanced load capacity, and versatile gearing options.
Large Gearboxes for Heavy Industries
The term large gearbox often applies to mining, marine, and power generation sectors, where oversized gear drives manage megawatt-scale loads. While Neugart does not produce these mill-drive systems, we provide some of the largest frame sizes in the precision planetary gearbox category, allowing automation and machine builders to access higher torque solutions in compact designs.
By combining scalable frame sizes (up to PLFN-200) with customization, Neugart enables engineers to bring planetary gearbox advantages — efficiency, compactness, low backlash — into applications traditionally dominated by bulkier gear reducers.
