IN 10 STEPS to your customer-specific special gearbox
Engineering: Welcome to the world of customized engineering! Because with us, there is no standard for ideas. If our modular modules do not offer the right solution, we are ready to develop flexible special gear units for you. Our dedicated team of experts looks forward to understanding your unique requirements and creating custom drive solutions that are perfectly tailored to your needs. No matter how complex your challenges may be, we are happy to take them on and turn them into innovative and high-performance gearbox solutions. With our years of experience and deep understanding of technology and precision, we are ready to make your vision a reality.
The right gearing for every task
We develop customized gearmotors from a wide range of gearing types:
- Worm Gearbox
- Planetary Gearbox
- Bevel gearbox
- Helical gearboxes
- Combinations of all types of gearing
This is because special gear units derived from our basic gear units can also be realized in the shortest possible time.
Collaborative power: 10 steps.
#1 | The first step to your solution.
Your inquiry reaches us easily via email, phone, or in person – for example, through a visit to a trade fair. No matter how you contact us, we look forward to understanding your requirements and developing the perfect solution together.
#2 | Joint exchange
A "personal" sales engineer accompanies your inquiry from the concept phase to drive component delivery and beyond. Your contact at Ruhrgetriebe will be happy to provide you with advice and support at any time. For us, delivery reliability and customer satisfaction are just as much a matter of course as the highest quality and precision in our gear units.
#3 | Design & Concept, Expert Consulting.
During the design phase, our design engineers discuss various options and determine whether your special gearbox can be realized on the basis of an adapted standard solution or whether a completely new design is required. If a new - specially designed for you - drive unit is created, a non-disclosure agreement can be made upon request.
#4 | Alignment & Further Idea Generatio
We enter into the second intensive consultation with you, exchanging ideas and suggestions based on examples, and develop an efficient drive unit based on the mutual consensus.
#5 | Precise Calculation of Your Gear Solution
In this phase, we carefully calculate the necessary efforts for your custom gearbox solution. Based on these detailed calculations, we create a final and tailored offer for you. We consider your specific requirements to provide you with a transparent and precise solution. Quality, efficiency, and cost transparency are our priorities, so you know exactly what to expect.
#6 | Fine-Tuning & Consulting
In this crucial phase, we take the time for a thorough discussion of the proposal presented by Ruhrgetriebe. Together with you, we go through the details to ensure that all your requirements and wishes are taken into account. If necessary, we make adjustments to fine-tune the solution even further to meet your needs. This intensive consultation ensures that the final product meets your expectations precisely, and that we find the best possible solution for your project.
#7 | Order & Sample Delivery
Once you have placed your order, you will receive the first gearbox sample tailored to your requirements. To provide you with even more assurance, we can also offer you a prototype from our 3D printer upon request. This allows you to test the drive solution on-site for the first time and thoroughly evaluate it. This ensures that all requirements are met before the final series production begins.
#8 | Re-Design & Optimization
In this phase, we ensure that theory and practice align perfectly. If adjustments are required during testing, we move into a re-design and modify the solution accordingly. We then create another prototype for you to test again in the application. This ensures that the drive solution works perfectly not only on paper but also in real-world applications. Our goal is to meet your requirements in every detail.
#9 | The Launch of Your Drive Solution
Once you have successfully completed the final adjustments and tests, you give us the 'go' by signing a framework agreement. With this step, we begin the series production of your customized drive unit. In this phase, we implement all the necessary steps to carry out the production efficiently and precisely. Your project now moves into the next crucial phase, and we ensure that your drive solution is delivered on time and with the highest quality.
#10 | Long-Term Support & Maintenance
After the commissioning, we remain by your side. With our comprehensive service and maintenance offering, we ensure that your drive solution operates optimally in the long term. We provide regular maintenance, the fastest possible response times in case of issues, and are your point of contact for any further adjustments or expansions. Your satisfaction and the long-term performance of your solution are our top priorities.
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.
Your advantages with our individual gearboxes
Moving the future together
Tailor-made design
We manufacture exactly according to your specifications – mechanically, thermally and electrically. The result: maximum performance with minimum compromise.
Short development times
Thanks to many years of experience and modular assemblies, we deliver quickly – without any loss of quality.
Maximum efficiency
Individual design means: minimal energy losses and an efficiency that pays off – in the long term and sustainably.
Fixed contact person
From the initial idea to series production, you will be accompanied by a fixed contact person. This means that communication, coordination and the course of the project remain transparent and efficient at all times.
Longevity with reserve
We think along with you: Our design takes into account load peaks and operating reserves for maximum service life.
Industry experience since 1953
For over 70 years, we have been developing drive solutions for a wide range of industries. This know-how flows into every project – practical, solution-oriented and with vision.
Optimal integration
Our gearboxes adapt to your application – not the other way around. Connections, dimensions and interfaces are adapted to the specific project.
Advantages for series projects
Investing in individual transmissions can also be economical for smaller series – especially for repeat use.
