Product information
The Apiro® modular gearbox system includes a wide selection of optional accessories.
Couplings for other shaft diameters (up to 12mm) are available upon request.
This gearbox allows drylin® shafts to be easily connected to the output side of the gearbox via the built-in coupling. The worm gear can be used as a cost-effective angular gearbox. The standard design allows shafts with a diameter of 8mm to be connected. Other diameters up to a maximum of 12mm are also possible on request.
The version with position indicator, manual clamp and hand wheel is used as a compact manual drive unit when several Apiro® rack and pinion gearboxes are synchronised. Application examples are mainly format adjustments in the packaging industry.
At igus®, Apiro® stands for inexpensive worm gears and flexible, customer-specific solutions. The modular gearbox system offers a wide range of products based on the combination of various designs on input and output of the gearbox, different transmission ratios and a wide range of accessories. In addition to worm gears, the modular gearbox system also includes bevel gears and linear gears.
A modular structure and simple connection of individual components provide cost-effective solutions for an infinite number of applications. This is where the name comes from: "Apiro" is the Greek word for "infinite".
Apiro® can also be used to implement special solutions quickly and with little cost.
