Industrial heritage and precision gear cutting traditions of Graessner
Established over 65 years ago in Dettenhausen (Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany), Graessner has built an international reputation for high-precision bevel and hypoid gearing solutions.
As part of Nidec Drive Technology Corporation, the manufacturer combines traditional German engineering standards with automated gear grinding and coordinate measuring technology.
The Dettenhausen manufacturing plant carries out complete production cycles: from mathematical tooth contact pattern analysis to vacuum heat treatment, laser surface roughness monitoring, and full load test benches.
Graessner gear units deliver continuous motion reliability across European and international automated manufacturing installations.
Mechanical efficiency and design advantages of PowerGear assemblies
The PowerGear spiral bevel gearbox family demonstrates peak energy conservation: optimized Gleason spiral bevel tooth geometry and reduced internal fluid friction yield verified efficiency ratings reaching 98 percent.
This minimizes operational power dissipation and thermal buildup within demanding metalworking lines, printing presses, and continuous rolling mills.
PowerGear gearboxes feature rigid box-section ductile iron housings with precision bearing bores and friction-locked shrink connections joining shafts to bevel pinions.
The portfolio spans twelve frame sizes from P54 to P450, offering nominal ratios from 1:1 to 5:1 with output torque capacity handling multiple thousands of newton meters.
Specialized speed and torque executions: PowerGear Version HS and X
To meet the requirements of high-speed cutting machinery, Graessner developed PowerGear Version HS.
Dynamic balancing of all rotating shafts and an aerated housing chamber allow continuous operation at input speeds up to 8500 rpm across five frame sizes, ensuring vibration-free motion on high-speed spindles and cutting gantries.
For severe shock loads, PowerGear Version X transfers torque ratings reaching 5500 Nm across nine standardized dimensions with a 1:1 gear reduction ratio.
Reinforced output shaft bearings absorb substantial radial and axial thrust loads, serving heavy plastic extrusion equipment, stamping presses, and drum winches.
DynaGear dynamic hypoid servo gearboxes for robotic automation
High-precision DynaGear hypoid servo gear units are engineered for dynamic motion profiles involving rapid acceleration and reversal cycles.
Single-stage Version D models cover gear ratios from 3:1 to 15:1, whereas two-stage Version D-HR units extend reduction up to 150:1 while keeping backlash below two arcminutes.
A key advantage of the DynaGear family is the consistency of external housing mounting footprints across all available gear ratios within a given frame size.
This modularity simplifies machine frame standardization, while hollow output shafts permit power wiring, fluid conduits, and sensor cables directly through the center axis.
EvoGear all-rounder servo gearboxes and KS TwinGear multi-stage units
Modular EvoGear right-angle servo drive units unite spiral bevel and planetary gear mechanisms inside a compact symmetrical housing profile.
Four standardized frame dimensions provide reduction ratios up to 100:1 with efficiency reaching 96 percent, while versatile mounting surfaces allow orientation in any spatial plane without lubrication starvation.
For machinery requiring elevated reduction ratios, the two-stage KS TwinGear series integrates a hypoid bevel input stage with a helical spur gear set to attain ratios up to 75:1.
Customized DesignGear special gear units feature non-contact labyrinth seals and high-temperature lubricant fills capable of operating continuously up to 300 C.
Engineering selection, maintenance intervals, and qualified Graessner spare parts
Routine operation of Graessner gearboxes relies upon factory-filled synthetic gear lubricants formulated for the service life of the unit under standard operating temperatures.
For heavy thermal duties, external oil cooling circulation manifolds and temperature sensors can be readily retrofitted to factory ports.
Selecting replacement assemblies or internal gear components requires only the machine nameplate data showing the serial number and gear ratio code.
Our technical engineering team provides kinematic calculations, motor adapter sizing checks, and timely shipment of qualified components with 22 percent VAT.
