Geared motors from Ruhrgetriebe in over 50 industries
Ruhrgetriebe geared motors are used in a wide range of industrial applications. On a farm, for example, a manure conveyor belt is used to transport the excrement from livestock with the help of these drives. The company's portfolio covers over 50 industries. From traditional sectors such as tool, machine and plant construction to automation, aerospace and medical technology through to mechatronics and renewable energies, Ruhrgetriebe develops customized drive solutions. One example is the drive for a filling system in the clean room of a large corporation, which comes from Ruhrgetriebe. The toy industry is also one of the company's customers, as is the manufacture of drives for stair lifts that make obstacles surmountable in old age. Gearmotors from Ruhrgetriebe also contribute to the production of building blocks with which children can express their creativity. The intelligent drives are also used in automated machines and processes.
