Altra Industrial Motion Expands Global Gear Drive Product Offering

Altra Industrial Motion recently acquired Bauer Gear Motor, a privately-held company headquartered in Esslingen, Germany. Bauer is a leading European manufacturer of high-quality gear motors, offering engineered solutions to a variety of industries.

As part of Altra Industrial Motion, Bauer Gear Motor joins Boston Gear, a respected North American leader in gear drive technology with a broad offering of gearing products, including the industry standard 700 Series worm gear speed reducer.

“With strong expertise in both integral gear motor technology and C-face gear drive engineering, Altra now offers a comprehensive suite of application dedicated products,” said Craig Schuele, Altra Vice President of Marketing & Business Development. “Bauer Gear Motor, together with Boston Gear, provides our customers with the reliability of two world-class brands and more than 200 years of combined experience.”

Both Boston Gear and Bauer Gear Motor products have a reputation for superior engineering, quality manufacturing, and reliable performance. As industry leaders, they have extensive experience and application knowledge in industries including material handling, food processing, packaging, bottling, and metals.

Bauer Gear Motor is a globally recognized brand of quality integral gear motors. Known for  streamlined gear-train designs, market-specific features, motor manufacturing expertise and a broad offering of drive packages, Bauer is the preferred choice of many major original equipment manufacturers. Boston Gear is a trusted brand with experience in developing and manufacturing many types of enclosed C-face gear drives, including worm, bevel, and helical.

Altra has integrated the expertise of these two brands to develop the innovative new Series 2000 competitive displacement product line, a helical bevel offering that is dimensionally interchangeable with the industry standard envelope, and provides increased efficiency and performance in a design suitable for many markets. This C-face gear drive/integral gear motor line is loaded with unique features and performance advantages.
