Industrial gear units from SEW-EURODRIVE combine power, quality, and exceptional durability – even under the most challenging conditions. They work reliably in any application where high torques are called for, such as in hoists, conveyor belts, mixers, and crushers.
Our product range includes a wide variety of high-performance gear units:
Did you know that we do more than just supply the ideal gear unit for your needs? We offer the entire drive train from a single source. That means all the components are perfectly coordinated, without any interface risks. Whether you're looking for an inverter, a motor, a gear unit, a coupling, a brake, or a complete steel frame, we can supply you with a sophisticated and reliable complete system that suits your application perfectly.

Industrial gear units transmit high torques reliably and are used wherever heavy loads need to be moved. Unlike our standard gearmotors, industrial gear units – with a few exceptions – are not directly connected to the drive motor. Instead, power is transmitted via connecting elements such as couplings or belt drives. What's more, industrial gear units offer excellent potential for extensive customization, so they can be tailored perfectly to the relevant application requirements.
Typical applications include conveyor systems, cranes, mills, agitators, and extruders in everything from the cement industry, mining, and port logistics to the energy sector and the metal industry.
SEW-EURODRIVE offers a comprehensive range of helical, bevel-helical, and planetary gear units for a whole host of torque ranges and applications. In addition to offering its modular system of standard gear units with customization options, SEW-EURODRIVE can also design special gear units that are precisely tailored to the customer's specific requirements.
A complete drive system consists of elements that are perfectly coordinated with each other – for example, the gear unit, motor, inverter, couplings, brakes, cooling systems, and condition monitoring. The product range is complemented by a comprehensive array of services, warranty packages, and our own premium lubricants. Consequently, we can offer you a complete high-performance solution from a single source.
Components that are perfectly coordinated with each other minimize interface risks and ensure maximum operational reliability. What's more, the fact that all drive components come from a single source reduces the amount of coordination work involved, as there is no need to coordinate between different suppliers, and responsibilities are clearly defined.
SEW-EURODRIVE uses a specially developed calculation program to design a gear unit that optimally factors in both the relevant application requirements – such as torque, speed, and service life – and the ambient conditions in question. Besides mechanical parameters such as bearing service life and tooth root and tooth flank load-bearing capacity, the thermal design, in particular, is a key factor when it comes to choosing the appropriate gear unit.
SEW-EURODRIVE offers numerous services to complement its comprehensive product range – from engineering, startup, and condition monitoring to industrial gear units to go, extended warranty packages, and a global network for services and spare parts. We therefore support our customers throughout the entire lifecycle of their system.
