ZIPP GEAR specializes exclusively in the design and mass production of precision gear reducers for drum motor assemblies. Our proven manufacturing experience—supplying gear reducers to global conveyor and automation brands — enables OEMs to develop new drum motor models faster and at significantly lower cost.
How Our Expertise Helps Drum-Motor Manufacturers
1 · Cost Reduction Through Proven Mass-Production Platforms
Economies of scale: Our existing high-volume gear-reducer platforms are already in mass production for world-leading conveyor applications, allowing partners to avoid costly new tooling.
Shared component families: unified gears, shafts, bearings, and seals across torque ranges — cut procurement complexity and part pricing.
Optimized manufacturing: CNC-machined housings, hardened gears, and modular stage assemblies are produced using lean, cell-based processes to achieve lower per-unit costs.
2 · Rapid Customization for New Drum-Motor Designs
Flexible adaptation: We can tailor shaft dimensions, reduction ratios, gear-stage configurations, bearing loads, and seal interfaces to fit your motor and drum housing precisely.
Interface compatibility: Our engineers match existing motor shafts, end-cap geometries, and mounting footprints—no need to redesign your shell or stator assembly.
Fast prototype turnaround: Because our base designs are validated and tooled, new customized reducers can be delivered for testing within weeks.
3 · Reliability from Proven Field Use
ZIPP GEAR drum-motor reducers are already running in airport logistics systems, food-grade conveyors, parcel sorting lines, and mining conveyors worldwide.
The same tested gear-train designs and lubrication systems are used for partner projects, ensuring predictable durability and simplified certification.
4 · Design Support and Co-Development
Our R&D team provides torque-speed calculations, gear-train selection, and thermal/lubrication modeling to align the performance of the reducer with your target motor specifications.
2D/3D CAD libraries and finite-element validation data accelerate your internal design integration.
Private-label and co-engineering programs are available to shorten your overall product-release cycle.
Key Advantages for OEM Partners
Cut development time by reusing validated reducer platforms.
Reduce tooling and qualification costs through proven gear-train modules.
Improve manufacturing yield and product consistency.
Launch customized drum-motor models in a fraction of traditional lead time.
Proven Performance
Our gear reducers cover multiple torque classes (from light conveyor drums to heavy-duty material-handling units) with ratios optimized for 2-stage, 3-stage, or planetary-helical configurations. All are built under ISO-certified quality systems and tested for durability, vibration, and thermal stability.
