NIDEC-SHIMPO prides itself on delivering innovative solutions for our mutual customers in varying industry sectors, applications and locations all over the world. Their aim is to provide optimal performance solutions for our industry partners. Their strong product quality foundation drives us to continually expand our technology base and become a reliable partner for all customers.
For their traditional core gearing and powertrain technologies, we make a distinction between High Precision gearboxes and Heavy Industrial power transmission products. Our High Precision gearboxes would generally be applied to servo grade applications and utilize either helical planetary and worm gear technologies. Our Heavy Industrial products would be more relevant within more extreme manufacturing environments where durability is more critical than fine control and movement.
Wash Down, Food Grade & Hygienic Solutions
NIDEC-SHIMPO offers standard washdown and food grade options for our planetary products in a select group of configurations.
These options include stainless steel output shaft and fasteners, IP65 ingress protection, white epoxy, Steel-it paint or nickel plating and NSF H1 Certified food grade lubrication. These options are outlined below. Our industry experts can help you determine the right protection for your application and environment.
PR Series Economy Planetary Gearboxes
PRE is part of the latest generation economy product family from NIDEC-SHIMPO. The PRE redefines the economy planetary gearbox segment by featuring helical cut gearing and a robust internal structure. Our customers benefit from a cost-effective, flexible, reliable design that can be adapted into a wide range of servo and stepper motor axes.
The PRE features industry-standard output mounting geometry with simple adaptation to any motor. Frame sizes from 062-160, along with ≤ 8-10 arc-minute backlash, allow the PRE to cover a broad range of application requirements where cost is a key consideration. As with all NIDEC-SHIMPO planetary products, PRE is designed for maximum heat reduction and running efficiency through the use of special sealing and lubrication technology.

Rack and Pinion
NIDEC-SHIMPO offers a comprehensive lineup of rack and pinion drive systems with exceptional accuracy, system rigidity, feed forces, torque density and efficiency. Each component of the system—gearbox, rack and pinion—is optimized to meet these demands. Although we focus on highly dynamic applications, we also offer more cost-effective options for less challenging axes.
