Versatile solutions for every requirement
Custom gearbox solutions
In addition to our extensive standard range of worm gearboxes, Ruhrgetriebe offers a wide selection of gear types with varying ratios, gearbox positions, and installation orientations. However, sometimes the standard is not enough: When space constraints or specific performance data such as torque and ratio don’t fit, custom solutions are required.
For cases where geometry or technical requirements exceed the standard, we develop customized drive solutions that are perfectly tailored to your needs.

When standard solutions are not enough
The customized Customer-Line
If our modular system for standard gear motors is not sufficient to meet your specific requirements, the Customer-Line provides the perfect solution. With the Customer-Line, we develop customized drive solutions that are precisely tailored to your needs – whether in terms of geometry, performance, or special mounting positions. This ensures you always get the perfect solution, even when standard options don’t fit.

Wide range of electric motors
Special motors like air motors
In addition to three-phase asynchronous, direct current and direct current permanent magnet motors, customers have almost all possible motor types to choose from during project development. For example, customized projects with air motors, synchronous motors have already been implemented. To keep drives in position, a large partner network for pulse and incremental encoders can be accessed for motor feedback. Stainless steels are suitable for special material compositions of the housing parts. This selection is mainly used in the food or packaging industry. But standard materials such as cast or aluminum components are also available. Ruhrgetriebe KG ensures that gear motors remain recyclable.
Together with the customer, not only technical specifications of the gearmotor are optimized. In order to meet the highest quality requirements, the application engineers also pay attention to the correct selection of the associated components such as bearings, shaft seals or lubricants.
