Ideas for automation using modular gearbox systems
This page highlights a wide range of configurable automation solutions using the apiro modular gearbox systems, including lane adjustments, pusher applications, rotary axes, SCARA robots and conveyor systems.
All of these applications are designed to be adjusted quickly using CAD data and parts lists, which can be downloaded. These products were designed and built for maximum flexibility, as well as a cost-effective way of integration.
Our modular system enables engineers and machine builders to develop customised automation concepts for a large range of applications within industries such as; Food and packaging, conveyor lines and medical technology.
Tried and proven application examples
Tech up
- Set-up instructions including parts list
- Durable, efficient, low clearance, smooth operation

- Optional: splash water version
Cost down
- Modular design for manual and motor-operated adjustments
- Cost-effective gearboxes made of iglidur® polymer material
- Maintenance-free thanks to iglidur® polymer gears
- Fast conversion possible
- Costs as little as one-third of conventional worm gears
Proof
- Great product compatibility
- Worm gears made of tribologically optimised igus® high-performance polymers
- Gearbox performance data determined in comprehensive testing
Sustainability
- Completely lubrication-free operation
- Lightweight components
- Right from the start, igus® is an investor at Mura

Building an individual automation system
Possible applications can be in the
- packaging,
- food,
- medical industries and many more.
Aisle adjustment, pusher tasks, gearboxes with different ratios, rotary tables and rotary axes can be used there. The modular gearbox can be motorised or used for manual adjustments.
Examples of how our "Apiro®" modular gearbox in action
Our "Apiro" modular system was designed for a wide range of kinematics and superstructure and was named after the Greek word for "infinite". This explains how individual applications can go from design to production in a cost-effective way.
Typical areas of application are
- Aisle adjustment,
- Pusher tasks,
- Gearboxes with different ratios,
- rotary tables and rotary axes
