Special machine building: one task, one solution.
When standard solutions reach their limits, we develop drive solutions from the ground up — matched to load profile, installation space and operating conditions. Together with your team, from specification to commissioning.
- Engineered-to-order
- FEA-verified
- one-off & small series
For your task there is no data sheet.
Special machines combine unusual loads, tight installation spaces and requirements no catalogue has an answer for. A standard gearbox bent into shape quickly becomes the most expensive compromise in the machine — and when development, manufacturing and responsibility are spread across several parties, nobody stands behind the result in the end.
- Unusual load cases and motion profiles
- Extreme installation-space or weight constraints
- No suitable off-the-shelf product
- Multiple suppliers, fragmented responsibility
We develop the drive around your task.
Instead of an off-the-shelf adaptation, a fully thought-through new design is created — FEA-verified, supported through to commissioning, from a single source.
New design instead of compromise
We calculate material, gearing, bearings and lubrication precisely for your task — not for an existing housing.
FEA-verified
We verify the critical points by finite element simulation — for reliable safety margins without costly over-dimensioning.
Full responsibility, one partner
From design through manufacturing to commissioning — dedicated contacts and one party responsible for the result.
Where we are at work.
For machines and plants that do not yet exist in this form.
- Drives for prototypes and special machines
- Test, experimental and research rigs
- Drives with extreme installation-space constraints
- Multi-axis special drivetrains
- Replacement of legacy gearboxes without documentation
- Pilot and small-series plants
- Robotics and automation systems
The knowledge behind the design.
What matters in special machine building:
- drives that simply do not exist off the shelf,
- unusual load and motion profiles,
- tight installation-space or weight constraints,
- one responsible partner instead of a fragmented supply chain.
Engineered-to-order
We develop the drive around your task — material, gearing, bearings and lubrication concept calculated precisely for the load and motion profile.
FEA-verified
We verify novel load cases by finite element simulation. That yields reliable safety margins without costly over-dimensioning.
Supported through to commissioning
From design through manufacturing to on-site commissioning — with dedicated contacts and full responsibility for the result.
FEA simulation
Finite element analysis: computational strength and stiffness analysis of housing, shafts and gearing — for reliable safety margins instead of costly over-dimensioning.
Reverse engineering
Reconstruction of a gearbox without existing documentation: measurement, material analysis and redesign of a fitting — often improved — replacement.
Configuration (coaxial / parallel / right-angle)
The position of input and output relative to each other: coaxial (single axis, planetary), parallel-shaft (helical) or at an angle (bevel/crown gear). It determines installation space, stiffness and integration.
Load spectrum
The time-based distribution of all occurring loads — continuous load, peaks, starting and shock torques. A serious design calculation works with the load spectrum, not with a single nominal rating.
Drives for Special Machine Building — designed, built and tested in Marchtrenk, Austria.
Your partner for Special Machine Building.
Designed for your load profile
We calculate every gearbox on the actual load spectrum and the real operating conditions of your plant — not merely on a theoretical nominal rating.
Brand-independent service
We maintain, repair and replace gearboxes from all manufacturers — including reverse engineering of legacy equipment and spare parts to original dimensions or with an improved design.
Fast support when it matters most
Downtime does not keep office hours. Our service hotline is staffed around the clock — we assess the situation, agree the next steps with you and dispatch our service technicians right away.
Engineering from Austria
Design, manufacturing and service from a single source in Marchtrenk — since 1995. Short paths, dedicated contacts, full responsibility for the result.
Frequently asked questions.
/ 01Do you also develop for one-offs?+
Yes. Engineering-to-order pays off from a single unit — for example for a prototype, a test rig or the replacement of a failed legacy gearbox./ 02How do you verify the design for novel tasks?+
At the critical points we verify by FEA simulation and work closely with your team — creating reliable safety margins instead of costly over-dimensioning./ 03Do you also support commissioning?+
Yes. On request we support you from design through manufacturing to on-site commissioning — with dedicated contacts.
