Your advantages
Planetary gearboxes, worm gears and spur gears combined with modern converter technology
Whether pallet conveyors, roller conveyors or lift tables – in intralogistics, drives must be reliable, efficient and flexibly controllable. With our low-backlash planetary gearboxes (RPL/RPS) and robust worm gearboxes, we offer you proven solutions for a wide range of conveying tasks. In combination with our frequency converters, this becomes an all-round intelligent drive system – tailored to your requirements.
Benefits for your industry
Advantages of worm gears in conveyor technology
Compact, robust and quiet – ideal for conveyor technology with limited installation space. Due to the high gear ratios, they are particularly suitable for light to medium loads.
- Compact, easy-to-install designs
- Endurance-resistant & low-maintenance – ideal for 24/7 operation
- Flexible connectors & flanges for easy integration
- Immediately available from stock – for standard configurations
- Intelligent control through inverter solutions (SmartLine / EasyLine)
- Individual adaptation possible: flange, shaft, tension, painting – depending on requirements
Advantages of cylindrical gears in conveyor technology
In multi-storey logistics centres, pallets and containers are transported to different levels via vertical conveyors. Our HG series helical gearboxes offer the necessary power and smoothness here – combined with a standard motor or intelligently controlled via the SmartLine.
- High power density
- Smooth, low-noise running
- Efficient efficiency
- Robust design for continuous operation
- Easy integration with IEC standard motors
- Versatile in use
- Optionally with intelligent control
Advantages of planetary gearboxes in conveyor technology
Planetary gearboxes are ideal for applications in conveyor technology where compact design, high torque density and precise controllability are required. They are used wherever movements have to be implemented precisely, dynamically and in a space-saving manner – for example in shuttles, lifts or rotating modules.
- High power density in a compact design
- Backlash-free or low-backlash design for exact positioning
- High efficiency for energy-efficient continuous operation
- Stepless speed control in combination with frequency converter
- Low-maintenance and long-lasting operation even at high clocks
- Flexible installation options in horizontal, vertical or inclined position
Experience the flexibility of our modular system
With our modular system, we offer flexible solutions that meet a wide range of requirements and industries. Thanks to modular components, gearboxes and motors can be individually combined to create customized drives for various applications.
Examples
Applications for worm gears in conveyor technology
Roller conveyors for general cargo transport
Worm gears drive conveyor rollers directly or via chains – ideal for light to medium loads in internal transport.
Belt conveyors for cartons and crates
Belt conveyors with a flat design use worm gears for space-saving power transmission – especially in shipping lines or packaging stations.
Diverters & Conveyor Belt Deflections
Deflection units and direction changers are driven by compact worm gears – often with lateral mounting directly under the belt.
Pusher / Slider for separation or sorting
Mechanical gate valves are driven by worm gears – e.g. for targeted transfer on branch lines.
Small conveyors in picking areas
Worm gear motors drive short conveyor lines, for example between the storage and retrieval machine and the packaging station.

Applications for helical gearboxes in conveyor technology
Vertical conveyors / vertical conveyors
Spur gears drive lifting platforms or lifts that transport containers or pallets between multiple levels.
Pallet conveyor systems
Drive of chain or roller conveyors in the field of pallet logistics – often with higher weight and greater drive requirements.
Lifting/lowering mechanisms at transfer stations
For example, for lifting roller conveyors, moving load carriers or controlling pneumatic elements via cranks.
Conveyor systems with deflection stations or branches
Where, for example, rollers are driven by chain hoists or carriers that run over a central axis.
Conveyor systems with deflection stations or branches
Guide units or stoppers can be moved precisely and synchronously via spur gear drives.
Rotary tables & rotary modules in conveyor systems
Spur gears drive rotating units that rotate transported goods by 90°, 180° or 360° – for example, at transfer stations, pallet changers or switches.
Applications for planetary gearboxes in conveyor technology
Shuttle vehicles in small parts warehouses
Planetary gears drive the traversing axes or lifting mechanics in shuttle systems – compact, lightweight and precise.
Compact planetary gearboxes for pick-and-place units
Positioned lifting movements in automated storage systems, e.g. at lift modules or transfer points.
Conveyor belt axles with change of direction
Loading and unloading of load carriers via intermittent conveyor belts with exact positioning.

Planetary gearboxes move rotating conveyor platforms that convey goods through 90° or 180°.
Adjustable guide and stop elements
Movable side elements or mechanical stoppers in intelligent conveyor lines.
Lifting modules with compact design
Compact lifting devices, e.g. in picking areas or intermediate stations, require backlash-free, powerful drives.
