CHEMNITZER ZAHNRADFABRIK GMBH & CO KG

Because there are no standards for extraordinary ideas, the special and custom gearboxes from Chemnitzer Zahnradfabrik cannot be found in any catalog. With application-specific designs for spur gears, worm gears, and bevel gears, as well as their combinations, all special applications in mechanical engineering are addressed in the drive torque range up to 10,000 Nm, where demanding concepts do not allow for the use of a standard gearbox. Integrated switchable couplings expand the range of applications. Our designers support you: • in selecting the drive concept • in the calculation and optimization of gearing, shafts, and bearings • with extensive CAD data exchange options during project development According to the specific requirements, the following are included: • load-dependent gearing optimization • efficiency measurement • vibration and noise analysis • optimization of strengths and weight 1890 Company founded under the name "Bernhard Gläss Drehmaschinen" Chemnitz 1911 Gläss employed 325 workers and employees.
