About abp Antriebstechnik
Since 1999, ABP Antriebstechnik GmbH has been developing and manufacturing precision components for drive technology at its St. Georgen site in the Black Forest: shaft couplings (including bellows, double-loop, disc spring, spring and jaw couplings), angle and worm gears as well as gearing parts such as bevel gears, spur gears, worms, worm wheels and internal gearings in module sizes from 0.2 to 1.5 mm. Production takes place inhouse for one-off pieces up to small and medium series in machinable materials, including A4 stainless steel for corrosion-resistant and hygienic applications. The services include technical consulting, design of special gears and special couplings, internal quality control, individual part marking as well as delivery and logistics with customs clearance. The products are used worldwide in industries such as mechanical and plant engineering, automation, robotics, the food industry, medical technology, renewable energies and laser technology.
