Who is Dana Motion Systems Deutschland
Dana Motion Systems Deutschland is a worldwide renowned producer of mechanical gear units for a wide variety of industrial applications focusing on Plastic and Rubber. Based in Germany since 1928, today part of Dana Incorporated, PIV Drives specializes in building gear units that meet the demanding requirements of modern industry – in terms of quality, reliability, exceptional performance and life expectancy.
Located in Bad Homburg, near Frankfurt, the Dana Motion Systems Deutschland production plant enjoys convenient access to most countries in the world. Boasting a surface area of 60,000 square meters, which includes a new assembly hall for gear boxes up to 50 tonnes, PIV produces helical and bevel helical gearboxes as well as single- and twin-extruder drives. Research, development, design, manufacturing and testing of gearboxes are all performed locally.
All key production processes (even on raw materials) are handled internally, so we stay fully in line with customer quality specifications and timeline requirements. This includes turning, drilling, milling, grinding, chiseling, hardening and use of CNC machining center for housings. Also 3D design, gearing and bearing calculations, FEM calculations, simulations and production optimization are dealt with in-house, and assembly is performed according to kaizen principles.
