Precision Gearbox specialist Apex Dynamics UK appeared at the PPMA Total 2025 processing and packaging machinery show in Birmingham, displaying its new SGM range of compact motors and geared motor units. The company’s stand at the event at the NEC from 23rd-25th September, which attracted a steady stream of visitors, also featured live demonstrations of precision planetary gearboxes and rack and pinion technology.
Versatile, compact SGM range suited to a wide range of applications
The new SGM series of compact AC and DC geared motors meets the needs of a wide range of industry applications; from small conveyors, sealing and filling machines, to label heads, check weigher and vision systems.
Suitable for low torque machines requiring a DC, single-phase AC or three-phase AC supply, the versatile SGM motors and geared motor units come in a range of different specifications, including inline, right-angle and hollow shaft variants, and motors with either flying lead or terminal box connection.
The easily configurable geared motors and geared motor units are designed to fit into compact machines, delivering a cost-effective solution with a wide ratio range.
Apex stand features dynamic demonstrations of precision and range of motion control solutions
There were also two dynamic rigs on the Apex Dynamics stand at PPMA. One demonstration showed the precision of the company’s planetary gearboxes using a fragile 0.5 mm pencil lead and two counter-rotating discs, each controlled by a servo set up. Another demonstration showcased Apex’s rack and pinion solutions with a lubrication system.
Products highlighted at the show included Apex’s recently-launched range of elastomer and disc couplings, the BKM hypoid gearboxes for general purpose machine applications and the high torque, high driving transmission efficiency, compact GV/GVR/GL gearboxes specifically designed for AGV/AMR applications, as well as many items from its wide range of planetary gearboxes.
Apex Dynamics offers 50+ ranges of precision gearboxes, rack and pinion systems, and a variety of elastomer and disc couplings. Its gearbox products include the largest range of drop- in replacements and ratios for any planetary gearbox manufacturer. The company also provides a market-leading five-year guarantee and delivery within 21 days on all its products, in additional to excellent customer service and support.
Mike Gulliford, Apex Dynamics UK Managing Director, says, “PPMA has been a great show for us and has given us the opportunity to demonstrate the extensive capabilities of our new SGM series, as well as showcase the full Apex Dynamics range. Our expert team was on hand at the show to demonstrate the range of high performance gearboxes and geared motor solutions we offer, alongside details of our exceptional customer support and service, 21-day delivery guarantee, and 5-year warranty.”
