Technology

“Give me a lever long enough, and I can lift the world”

 

Ground breaking technology

Almost every major industrial advancement was a result of a fundamental improvement in the way we were able to transfer mechanical power. The Archimedes Drive, like the groundbreaking innovations that came before it, is the first technology in the last half century that has the potential to advance industry by greatly improving the accuracy, speed, efficiency, and durability of current systems.

Extreme Accuracy

Having continuous tractive contact removes backlash and makes the drive incredibly stiff. This results in, best-in-class accuracy.

Unparalleled Efficiency

The drive’s rolling characteristics resemble that of a bearing. This results in similarly low internal friction, increasing efficiency.

Overload Protection

If overloaded (high instantaneous shock-load), the drive acts as a friction break until the torque returns to the operating regime.

Archimedes Drive

The Archimedes Drive is a new traction-based speed reducer, engineered to outperform current systems on key aspects. It combines two working principles.


These are the ‘compound planetary principle’ (also known as a Wolfrom drive) and traction rollers. These two principles form the patented theory at the core of the Archimedes Drive, named the ‘compound planetary traction drive’.
