drygear® Apiro® hoist gearbox

The Apiro lift/push drive is used for height- and format adjustments or pusher applications. In contrast to the Apiro rack and pinion gearbox, significantly greater forces of up to 250N can be transmitted. Several gearboxes can be easily synchronised.

At igus®, Apiro® stands for inexpensive worm gears and flexible, customer-specific solutions. The modular gearbox system offers a wide range of products based on the combination of various designs on input and output of the gearbox, different transmission ratios and a wide range of accessories. In addition to worm gears, the modular gearbox system also includes bevel gears and linear gears.

A modular structure and simple connection of individual components provide cost-effective solutions for an infinite number of applications. This is where the name comes from: "Apiro" is the Greek word for "infinite".

Apiro® can also be used to implement special solutions quickly and with little cost.
