Core offering

GYSIN AG manufactures custom precision gears and precision gearboxes, including planetary and worm gearboxes, from its Swiss headquarters. The company produces gears in steel, aluminium, special alloys, and plastic, including spur, helical, bevel, gear racks, worms, and worm gear sets, alongside standard product lines (GPL016 through GPL120 planetary and GSR012/017/025 worm gearboxes) and bespoke special gearboxes tailored to specific customer requirements.

Product overview

GYSIN AG is a Swiss precision gear and gearbox manufacturer with over 70 years of experience (established 1952). The company operates as a B2B specialist offering three core product lines: (1) Custom precision Gears manufactured from steel, aluminium, special alloys, or plastic, including spur gears, helical gears, bevel gears, gear racks, worms, and worm gear sets; (2) Planetary Gearboxes in 13 series (GPL016 through GPL120); and (3) Worm Gearboxes in 3 series (GSR012, GSR017, GSR025). Additionally, the company produces Special/Custom Gearboxes tailored to specific applications in medical technology, robotics, optics, oil and gas, aviation, and machine construction. All gearboxes feature grease-lubrication, compact design, low backlash, and high service life (10,000 hours for planetary, 5,000 hours for worm gearboxes under ideal conditions). The company serves global customers and maintains subsidiaries/representatives in the USA, Sweden, Israel, and China.
