OVALO has been a wholly owned subsidiary of Nabtesco Europe since 2017. Now Nabtesco is taking the next step, and integrating the sales and marketing activities of OVALO into its business, saying that the bundling of competences generates valuable synergies and opens up new potentials for customers.
Nabtesco Precision Europe offers an extensive and diverse range of precision gear products. The line of cycloidal gears will now be supplemented by strain wave gears of excellent quality. The compact precision gears feature absolute zero backlash, outstanding repeatability and a high torque capacity - all in a compact and lightweight design.
They are especially suitable for low-torque applications and are used wherever high performance is required in a tight installation space. In this respect, the zero backlash strain wave gears ideally supplement cycloidal gears, which due to their high rigidity are especially suitable for higher torques.
All strain wave gears are developed to exact customer requirements and the individual application. Production is compliant with automotive standards to guarantee the highest quality, large volumes, short development times and a high level of cost-effectiveness.
"The synergy effects resulting from the merger generate genuine added value for our customers," explains Marcus Low, Managing Director of Nabtesco Precision Europe. "Combining cycloidal gears and strain wave gears in one product range allows us to achieve complete scalability from 7 to 28,000 Nm. That puts us in a unique position as the only manufacturer capable of implementing suitable precision gear solutions for every single axis and application - from small to large, in robotics or mechanical engineering
"Having only one point of contact for all gears makes it possible to optimise engineering processes and speed up development cycles. The result is a seamless gear strategy, optimally matched systems, and a higher service level."
All-inclusive automation bundle
With the full integration of OVALO's sales and marketing activities, Nabtesco Precision Europe is starting a new chapter in the company's success story, reinforcing its position as a reliable problem solver, an important innovator, and world market leader in the field of robotic gears.
"As an experienced technology partner, we are familiar with the challenges of our customers, whom we support with sustainable solutions. No matter what they need or where they are: We are at their side, to take care of everything having to do with gears and drives - from initial consultation to selection and design, as well as production and maintenance," emphasises Marcus.
