The planar spiral gearbox
TorusGear Planar spiral gearboxHighest possible quality and precision, limited weight, simple construction and minimal space requirement makes the TorusGear highly efficient.
With the TorusGear a new and unique gearbox was developed and patented. This new and unique gearbox has excellent characteristics compared to existing gearboxes.
One gear step is the Torus wheel with spiral shaped tooth and the curve wheel with the curved tooth shape. The contact surface and the load on the material can be substantially reduced with the novel gearing module.
The TorusGear is the first „Planar-Spiral Gear“ which is technically mature to be used for industrial applications.
Characteristics
The technical superiority of the TorusGear compared to conventional gearboxes can be described as follows:
plusTorque
The load is spread over a large contact surface and meshes with several teeth. Almost double the torque can be applied, compared to conventional worm gearboxes of the same size! The compact design and the excellent efficiency make it possible to obtain high gear ratios in only one step.

plusEfficiency
The efficiency remains, irrespective of the gear ratio, almost constant. This means that the TorusGear reaches at high gear ratios, above 100:1, a substantial higher efficiency, compared to the worm gear, where the efficiency factor reduces with increasing gear ratios.
