Introduction to high-torque hypoid gearboxes for heavy-duty conveyors
Heavy-duty conveying systems often reach performance limits or require a lot of space. ATEK hypoid gearboxes, especially high-torque hypoid gearboxes for heavy-duty conveyors, provide solutions for performance enhancement and efficiency increase. This article explains the advantages of this advanced gearbox technology.
What exactly are hypoid gearboxes?
Hypoid gearboxes (bevel gearboxes with offset shafts) allow for high gear ratios and torque densities (models up to 20,000 Nm); compact units transmit large forces. This design enables power in a small space, making it ideal for drive solutions in heavy-duty conveyors . Our hypoid gearboxes offer a variety of options.
Characteristic features at a glance
Characteristic for this type of gearbox are high torque transmission, a compact design (installation volume reduced by up to -30%), quiet operation, and high efficiency. This enables cost savings and better working environments, especially when it comes to powerful hypoid gearboxes. Also, see our integrated drive units.
Typical fields of application for hypoid gearboxes
Typical fields of application are heavy-duty conveyors (belt, chain, roller conveyors) in heavy industry, where torque-strong hypoid gearboxes show their strengths. For example, a cement plant increased its conveying capacity by 15% with our specialized heavy-duty gearboxes. Robustness and precision also make them suitable for machine tools and robotics.Advantages of hypoid gearboxes in heavy-duty conveying systems
Superior efficiency and power density
The high torque capacity of hypoid gearboxes enables the transport of extremely heavy loads (e.g., steel coils up to 50t) in conveying systems for high loads. Their compact design reduces the required installation space and equipment weight (up to -10%), which is particularly advantageous when planning new heavy-duty conveyors installations. Specific torque-strong geared motors are available for such applications.
Cost-effectiveness and reliable operation
A high efficiency can reduce energy costs by up to 8%, thereby lowering operating costs. The robust construction and high-quality materials ensure a long lifespan (>25,000 h) and minimize maintenance requirements, increasing system availability – a must for high-torque hypoid gearboxes in heavy-duty conveyors. Our standard hypoid gearboxes are designed for durability.
Quiet operation for better working conditions
Hypoid gearboxes operate remarkably quietly and reduce noise exposure in the workplace (often 3-5 dB(A) less than other types of gearboxes). This feature supports occupational safety, promotes concentration, and increases productivity, which represents a significant added value for drive solutions for heavy conveying technology.

Technische Aspekte und Design von high-torque hypoid gearboxes
Material selection and precise manufacturing
High-quality, heat-treated steels (e.g., case hardening) provide the necessary high strength and wear resistance (tensile strength >1000 N/mm² is standard). CNC precision manufacturing ensures optimal tooth quality and smoothness, crucial for the performance of high-torque hypoid gearboxes for heavy-duty conveyors.
- Use of high-quality, heat-treated steels for maximum strength and wear resistance.
- CNC-controlled precision manufacturing guarantees the highest gear quality and smoothness.
- Software-optimized hypoid tooth geometry for maximum load capacity and efficiency.
- Use of synthetic high-performance oils for effective lubrication and minimized wear.
- Careful selection of lubricant based on temperature and load, especially in drives for heavy conveying tasks.
- FEM-optimized housing designs for superior torsional stiffness and heat dissipation.
Optimized tooth geometry and lubrication
A software-optimized hypoid tooth geometry maximizes load capacity and efficiency – key factors for hypoid drive solutions for high moments. Effective lubrication (often with synthetic high-performance oils) minimizes friction and wear and ensures a long lifespan, even at extreme temperatures, as encountered in some heavy-duty conveying systems cases.
- Lubricant selection based on temperature and load.
- Regular oil level and condition checks.
- Special seals against contamination.
Robust housing construction
FEM-optimized housings, typically made of gray cast iron or steel casting, are designed to withstand high forces and moments. This ensures superior torsional stiffness and effective heat dissipation, extends the lifespan of internal components, and increases system reliability, which is essential when used in conveying systems for heavy loads is indispensable.ATEK Drive Solutions: Your partner for powerful hypoid gearboxes
