Apiro iDeas: Simply recreate ideas for automation systems

Select automation solution

Triple mock-up of the drygear Apiro iDeas brochure with open pages and gear diagrams.

Our modular gearbox system "Apiro" for a wide range of kinematics and superstructures was named after the Greek word for "infinite". It allows individual applications to be realised in an extremely modular and cost-effective way.
Typical application areas are

  • lane adjustments,
  • pusher tasks,
  • gearboxes with different ratios,
  • slewing rings and rotary axes

Thanks to the large drygear® product portfolio, we can provide you with the right motor, motor control system and cables.
