Built in Michigan. Trusted Worldwide.
For over a century, Cone Drive has proudly engineered and manufactured high-performance gearing solutions in Michigan. Our U.S.-made harmonic drives, precision worm gears, and custom assemblies are built to deliver consistent quality and long-term reliability. By sourcing locally, customers benefit from a more stable, streamlined supply chain—reducing lead times, minimizing logistical risks, and ensuring dependable access to critical components. Whether you’re planning a new build or safeguarding against disruptions, Cone Drive’s American manufacturing delivers the control and confidence your operation demands.
Cone Drive’s servo driven gearing products are adaptable to a wide variety of servo motor sizes.
Standard, low, and zero backlash options are available to meet the requirements of your most demanding precision applications.
If you require a motor adaptation that we currently do not have listed as standard, Cone Drive’s robust team of engineers can quickly crank out a design to mate up with most any servo motor on the market.
Cone Drive’s NEMA driven gearing products are adaptable to a wide variety of motor sizes.
In addition to gearboxes with an integrated motor adapter flange, Cone Drive also offers a reducer style that can be driven by a belt, chain, etc.
Cone Drive’s NEMA motor mount gearboxes are equipped with a non fretting quill design that makes motor removal a simple and quick task.
Cone Drive’s cup-style harmonic gearing solutions are designed for compact, high-torque applications requiring precise, zero-backlash motion control. In this configuration, the torque is transmitted through the closed (bottom) surface of the cup, providing a lightweight, space-efficient solution ideal for tight integration.
The CBC, CBCF-, CBC-L, CBG, and CBGF- series offer features such as integrated cross-roller bearings and industry-standard mounting interfaces—and are fully customizable to meet specific application and performance requirements.
Cone Drive’s hat-style harmonic gearing solutions are built for high-precision, high-torque applications where smooth motion and robust load handling are essential. In this configuration, the torque is transmitted through the flanged brim of the hat, providing a stable and accessible interface for integration.
The HBC, HBCF-, HBG, HBGT-, and HBGHL series include options such as housed outputs, large hollow shafts, sealed designs, and integrated cross-roller bearings—making them ideal for robotics, automation, and demanding industrial environments. These solutions are fully customizable to meet unique space, torque, and performance requirements.
Cone Drive’s ring-style harmonic gearing solutions—RLC and RBC—are designed for applications requiring a compact, high-precision solution with flexible integration. In this configuration, the load is supported through the outer ring, with mounting typically done on the circular shaped ID Spline, allowing for seamless integration into rotating systems such as turntables or positioning platforms.
The RLC offers an ultra-compact design, while the RBC provides increased torque capacity in while maintaining a compact footprint. Both models are fully customizable to meet exact torque, ratio, and mounting interface requirements—making them ideal for robotics, automation, and space-constrained systems.
The Cone Drive Service Center specializes in double enveloping worm gears, helical/bevel industrial gearboxes, and planetary gear systems. We offer comprehensive services including reverse engineering, inspection, rebuilds, and repairs.
Equipped with a state-of-the-art FARO Edge portable CMM, our team ensures precise, high-quality results. We can retrofit and restore gearboxes of virtually any type or size—often enhancing performance beyond original specifications—by replacing existing gearing with our advanced Double Enveloping Worm Gear technology.
