Our Company Our Company NIDEC-SHIMPO has established itself as the leading supplier of precision gearing solutions to the industrial automation marketplace. Since 1952, when we introduced the world’s rst mechanical variable speed drive, NIDEC-SHIMPO has expanded into a diverse manufacturer of high precision power transmission systems for highly dynamic motion control applications. In 1994, SHIMPO was acquired by the NIDEC Corporation and became formally known as NIDEC-SHIMPO. NIDEC-SHIMPO began to focus on accelerating production volumes as the global market for motion control and mechatronics grew at an accelerated rate. We saw a unique opportunity to supply our customer base with the highest variety of transmission technologies, which www.drives.nidec-shimpo.com Rack and Pinion Systems & Components brought forward strain wave, index table and worm gear products to comple- ment our existing portfolio of planetary and cycloidal gearheads. The result for our customers was a single source drive solutions supplier. Today, our company is shipping over 100,000 gearheads per month out of our manufacturing plants in Kyoto and Shanghai. Our products are used in robot- ics, machine tools, food packaging, printing, paper converting, material handling, medical, semiconductor and aerospace related systems. Our diverse product portfolio, state-of-the-art equipment, engineering knowhow and manufacturing scale allow our customers to compete and expand their businesses globally. NIDEC-SHIMPO has over 2,400 employees strong with a presence across ve continents. Our engineering sta , customer support team and distribution partners undergo rigorous product training to ensure the quickest response to our customers’ needs. Our aim is to continue to innovate and provide the highest quality, best-in-class products and services for our customer base.
Total Drive Train Solutions
NIDEC-SHIMPO has made signi cant inroads into the machine tool and robotic handling markets globally. Our customers in these markets rely on us daily for our technical expertise in the area of power transmission and have pushed us to supply beyond the gearbox to help enhance the productivity of their machines. Through a partnership with a rack and pinion manufacturer with over 40 years of experi- ence, total drive train solutions are born.
Our ISO 9001/14001 state of the art manufacturing facility performs all critical processes in-house, including cutting, machining, milling, broaching, grinding induction hardening and testing. Pinions and gearboxes are factory assembled and tested as a system, saving our customers valuable time.
We o er a comprehensive lineup of rack and pinion drive systems with exceptional accuracy, system rigidity, feed forces, torque density and e ciency. Each compo- nent of the system—gearbox, rack and pinion—is optimized to meet these demands. Although we focus on highly dynamic applications, we also o er more cost-e ective options for less challenging axes.
Helical and straight racks are both available, from module 1.5 to module 12, with quality NIDEC SHIMPO CORPORATION levels from 5 to 10 and lengths up to 3000mm. Our core products are induction 175 Wall Street, Glendale Heights, IL 60139 USA hardened and ground, but we can o er a variety of heat treatment and surface nish Phone: (800) 842-1479 • [email protected] options.

NIDEC-SHIMPO has made signi cant inroads into the machine tool and robotic handling markets globally. Our customers in these markets rely on us daily for our technical expertise in the area of power transmission and have pushed us to supply beyond the gearbox to help enhance the productivity of their machines. Through a partnership with a rack and pinion manufacturer with over 40 years of experi- ence, total drive train solutions are born.
Our ISO 9001/14001 state of the art manufacturing facility performs all critical processes in-house, including cutting, machining, milling, broaching, grinding induction hardening and testing. Pinions and gearboxes are factory assembled and tested as a system, saving our customers valuable time.
We o er a comprehensive lineup of rack and pinion drive systems with exceptional accuracy, system rigidity, feed forces, torque density and e ciency. Each compo- nent of the system—gearbox, rack and pinion—is optimized to meet these demands. Although we focus on highly dynamic applications, we also o er more cost-e ective options for less challenging axes.
