Dunkermotoren WG Combination Gearboxes for High Ratios & Torque

Dunkermotoren Introduces New WG Combination Gearboxes for High Ratios, High Torque, and Precise Motion in Compact Spaces. Right-angle gearbox design combines worm and planetary stages to unlock new possibilities for demanding industrial and medical applications.

Dunkermotoren, a global leader in precision drive solutions, announced the expansion of its gearbox portfolio with a new generation of WG combination gearboxes, engineered for applications that require very high reduction ratios, precise positioning, and a compact right-angle design – all in one integrated and economically efficient solution.
The new WG series combines a worm gearbox with an integrated planetary gearbox, enabling reduction ratios that conventional right-angle or single-stage gearboxes cannot achieve. While right-angle gearboxes are already relatively compact by nature, the WG design offers an especially favorable ratio of reduction to installation size, making it possible to realize very high ratios without a disproportionate increase in gearbox dimensions.
This clever combination of proven technologies delivers high torque transmission and excellent positioning accuracy, while helping OEMs simplify mechanical design and create more flexible machine layouts.

Solving Space, Torque, and Precision Challenges – Simply and Efficiently

Many modern machines – especially in automation, robotics, and medical technology – must balance tight installation spaces with increasing demands for torque, accuracy, and cost efficiency. The WG combination gearboxes are designed to address these challenges in a simple, robust and application-oriented way.

Compared to single-stage bevel gearboxes, which are very compact but offer only a limited reduction range, the WG series enables significantly higher reduction ratios while remaining space-efficient. At the same time, spur gearboxes are typically more economical at low ratios, but are also limited in terms of achievable reduction.
The WG combination gearbox closes this gap by offering a balanced solution in terms of reduction range, installation size, and overall system cost, especially for applications that exceed the limits of single-stage concepts.
By transmitting power at a right angle while supporting multi-stage reduction in a compact form factor, the WG series enables:

• » Very high reduction ratios with an excellent ratio of reduction to gearbox size
• » High acceleration and peak torque capability for dynamic motion 
• » Accurate, repeatable positioning for sensitive adjustment and swivel movements

This makes the WG gearboxes particularly well suited for swivel arms, positioning systems, lifting and adjustment axes, and other applications where simplicity, precision, and load capacity must go hand in hand.
