Industrial Gearbox Applications & Industries Served

How Gearbox Requirements Vary by Industry

Not all industries are created equal, and each one has its own unique set of requirements. This means the equipment they use must be built to deliver a different standard of performance for each industrial application. Fortunately, STOBER has the engineering and manufacturing expertise to provide our customers with the perfect industrial gearboxes for their specific needs.  
 
As the leaders in the industry, STOBER delivers gearboxes made specifically for each industry’s unique requirements. Just take a look at the many markets we serve:  

Automation

Machine Tool
MACHINE TOOL

Accuracy and repeatability are must-haves for machine tools. STOBER’s industrial gear drive solutions can successfully do both.

Packaging
PACKAGING

Continuous or intermittent applications may require environmental considerations. STOBER has gearboxes for packaging machines that provide the solution. 

Additional Industries

STOBER engineers understand the intricacies of each industry’s unique needs. The aerospace sector needs gearboxes that are lightweight and compact to cut down on the mass of aircraft. These gearboxes also must provide low backlash and high torque density for precision motion control. On the other hand, the material handling industry desires consistency above most other qualities, meaning they want their gearboxes to give them the maximum levels of uptime as well as dependable output speed.  It’s this attention to detail and product diversity that keeps customers from these additional industries coming back to STOBER again and again:

STOBER’s Modular Approach to Industry Challenges 

Our success when it comes to serving such a diverse range of clients across multiple industries is our modular product architecture. This enables us to configure our gearboxes, motors and rack and pinion systems to match the application without the need to redesign the entire product from scratch. The components we use — including motor adapters, input options and gear ratios — can be mixed and matched to meet requirements. This helps us keep lead times down and increases the flexibility of our design work.

This modularity also supports easy retrofitting, which means less downtime when replacing or upgrading existing systems. Combined with the fact that our assembly is performed in the United States, our approach means we can provide shipping within one day in many cases. When time is short, industries trust STOBER to help them get the capabilities they need.

Choosing the Right Gearbox for Your Application 

When selecting a gearbox for a specific application, some of the key criteria include torque requirements, duty cycle, environmental exposure, mounting orientation and desired precision from the output. Any industry-specific needs such as washouts, IP ratings and hollow bore should be evaluated as early as possible to prevent redesigns.  
 
Working with STOBER means you gain access to an experienced application engineering team that assists with load calculations, thermal limits, service factor analysis and configurator support to match you with the right solution. With our collaborative planning, you can have optimized performance, reduced downtime and long-term equipment compatibility. You also can count on us to provide 24/7 troubleshooting and field support as well as installation, maintenance and repair services.
