Powerful and compact
Achieving high speeds and torque and known for efficient and long-term performance, Voith BHS planetary gears are powerful and compact. Built according to the Stoeckicht principle, these units enable ideal load equalization between the sun wheel, planetary, and ring gears. This load equalization ensures less stress on the components and dramatically reduces power loss in the gear unit.
With more experience than any other firm in the market, we look forward to supplying powerful planetary gear units that will reduce operating costs over the long term.
