Overtorque protection keeps your agricultural robot from suffering damage or critical failure in case of an overtorque, keeping your crop and your robot safe.
Silent operation with a maximum noise level of 50.2 dbA creates a better working environment in your facilities. Your speed reducer won’t be the main source of noise anymore. The Archimedes Drive’s sound level and frequency is similar to that of a soft rain, making it more pleasant than traditional loud equipment.
Fast cycle times enable higher productivity, with an input speed of up to 8,000 rpm.
Longer lifetime due to reduced wear on internal components decreases the need for maintenance and lowers your cost of spare parts, so your equipment can run for longer without stress.
Smooth controllability & transparency thanks to the smooth surface, gear-free design. The drive’s internal components are in constant tractive contact, translating the power directly between the input and output, saving you time spent on recalibrations, and providing constant torque.
Continuous reduction ratios, and torque that can be customized to your needs. This way you can innovate outside the box.
