The right gearhead turns motor speed into usable torque. DNH pairs maxon precision gearheads, factory-mounted to maxon motors, with the Parvalux range of inline and right-angle gearboxes to gear any drive in our range to your application's speed, torque, and space requirements.
Key advantages
maxon gearheads are mounted to the selected motor at the factory, the motor pinion rigidly connected to the motor shaft.
Planetary, spur, worm, and strain wave options deliver high torque at low speeds in a compact design.
Bronze, composite, or steel gears, oil or grease lubrication, and plastic or ceramic versions for specialised requirements.
Ratios from under 10:1 to over 1000:1, with custom shafts, mountings, encoders, and brakes on request.

maxon: Gearheads
maxon high-precision spur and planetary gearheads, as well as screw drives, match maxon electric motors with respect to speed, torque, or inertia. From Plug-and-Play to Customer-specific Solutions.
If performance is required at high torque levels and correspondingly low speeds, maxon gearheads come into their own. The motor pinion is the input gear of the first gear stage and is rigidly connected to the motor shaft.
In addition, maxon offers customised modifications for specialised power requirements and customer-specific requests.
Parvalux: Right-Angle Gearboxes
Parvalux gearboxes are rugged, reliable and designed to suit a wide choice of applications. Parvalux right-angle gearboxes are designed to work efficiently in a range of industries, including for applications in mobility solutions and materials handling. Whatever your application, we can supply a range of gearing and gear material options and customise to suit your requirements.
Parvalux: Inline Gearboxes
Parvalux inline gearbox products are designed to work hard in a range of industries, including leisure, healthcare and industrial automation. Parvalux electric motor gearboxes are strong, durable and cost-effective. All inline gearboxes are fully customisable, and we can supply a range of gearing and gear material options.
Why these brands
DNH supplies two complementary ranges. maxon gearheads use precision spur, planetary, and strain wave stages, factory-mounted to maxon motors, for precise, low-backlash positioning and high power in a compact design. Parvalux gearboxes use robust worm, spur, and planetary gearing, in inline and right-angle configurations with bronze, composite, or steel gears, for high torque, durability, and cost-effective operation in industrial and mobility applications.
Where maxon's factory-mounted gearheads deliver unmatched precision and dynamics for positioning tasks, Parvalux fills the gap with higher-torque gearboxes, up to 120 Nm continuous, suited to duty cycles in leisure, healthcare, mobility, and materials handling applications.
