Power Transmission

Power Transmission transfers power and movement within equipment and machinery. The category brings together hydraulics, pneumatics, bearings, linear technology, mechanical power transmission, motors, gearboxes, frequency drives and Precision Motion and Control.

What is Power Transmission?

It comprises product groups that generate, transmit, guide, control or support movement. The disciplines can be applied separately or combined in an integrated solution.

Applications and industries

Power Transmission is used for maintaining equipment, machinery and production processes and for designing new applications. Services include engineering, programming, assembly, commissioning, repair and conversion.

How to select power transmission

First choose the transmission principle: hydraulic, pneumatic, mechanical, linear or electric. Then determine which product group must generate, guide, control or support the movement. Finally, decide whether standard products are sufficient or whether custom engineering, assembly, repair or co-engineering is required.

Key attributes

Key attributes are transmission principle, product group, system integration and the choice between standard products, custom engineering, assembly, maintenance, repair and conversion.

Frequently asked questions

Which disciplines are included in Power Transmission?

Power Transmission includes hydraulics, pneumatics, bearings, linear technology, mechanical power transmission, motors, gearboxes, frequency drives and Precision Motion and Control.

When should Power Transmission product groups be combined?

Combine product groups when one application requires several functions, such as generating movement, transmitting power, guiding and controlling. An integrated approach can connect hydraulic, mechanical and electrical disciplines.

Which custom services are available for Power Transmission?

Custom services may include engineering and assembly of hydraulic systems, pneumatic control cabinets, pulleys, drive belts and precision-mechanical systems. Electronics, software and mechanical development are also available.

Which maintenance services support Power Transmission?

Services include maintenance, repair and conversion of electric motors and remanufacturing of geared motors. The appropriate service depends on the product group and the condition of the equipment.
