Scott Equipment Company supports Apex Dynamics precision planetary gearboxes, rack-and-pinion systems, servo couplings and related motion components for manufacturers, OEMs and integrators throughout North and South Carolina.
Apex Dynamics Precision Gearboxes & Rack-and-Pinion Systems
Apex Dynamics USA specializes in low-backlash servo gearboxes and precision mechanical-motion products. Its current portfolio includes inline and right-angle planetary gearboxes, spiral-bevel and hypoid designs, shaft-input configurations, washdown and food-grade options, precision rack-and-pinion systems, smart lubrication products and servo couplings.
Precision Gear Reduction for Servo and Automation Applications
Apex Dynamics was established in 1987 and focuses on high-precision planetary gearing for servo-driven machinery. Apex Dynamics USA supports the North American market with a broad range of inline and right-angle configurations, extensive motor-mounting compatibility, stocked product and engineering tools for gearbox selection and competitive interchange.
Broad Servo-Gearbox Portfolio
Economy, performance, high-performance and ultra-performance product families provide choices for torque, backlash, rigidity, output style and machine budget.
Inline and Right-Angle Architectures
Planetary, spiral-bevel and hypoid configurations support straight-through or 90-degree power transmission, with rotary-shaft, rotary-flange and other output arrangements.
Motion Components Beyond the Gearbox
Precision rack-and-pinion systems, smart lubrication equipment and disc or elastomer servo couplings extend the Apex portfolio into complete mechanical drive trains.
Explore Apex Dynamics Motion Products
Use these product areas as a starting point for servo axes, machine tools, automation equipment, gantries, rack-driven linear motion, AGV/AMR drives and gearbox replacement projects.
Inline Planetary Gearboxes
Inline families span economy through ultra-performance designs. Current groups include PAII, PEII, PGII and PSII economy products; AE performance-economy; AB, AF and AD performance families; and AP/APC ultra-performance gearboxes.
Explore inline gearboxes →Right-Angle Planetary, Spiral-Bevel & Hypoid Gearboxes
ABR, AFR, ADR and AER combine planetary reduction with right-angle gearing, while KF and KH hypoid families provide compact 90-degree configurations. AT-series products provide dedicated spiral-bevel right-angle transmission.
Explore right-angle gearboxes →Spiral-Bevel & Shaft-Input Gearboxes
AT-series spiral-bevel gearboxes transfer power through a 90-degree angle, while Apex also offers shaft-input inline and right-angle configurations for applications driven from a mechanical shaft rather than directly from a servo-motor flange.
Explore spiral-bevel gearboxes →Washdown, Stainless & Food-Grade Options
AES and AERS full-stainless families, FE washdown products and selected food-grade configurations support environments requiring corrosion resistance, sealing and compatible lubrication.
Explore washdown gearbox options →Precision Rack & Pinion Systems
Helical and straight-cut precision racks and pinions support long-travel linear motion, high loading and high-speed machinery without the increasing inertia associated with very long ballscrews.
Explore rack and pinion →Servo Couplings & Smart Lubrication
Disc and elastomer couplings accommodate shaft misalignment while transmitting servo torque, and programmable LUG Smart Lubrication systems deliver metered lubricant to racks, ballscrews, linear bearings and other machine components.
Explore servo couplings →Help Size, Select and Cross Apex Dynamics Gearboxes
Our Sales and Technical Teams can help review the servo motor, ratio, torque, speed, backlash, radial and axial loads, output geometry and environment. We can also coordinate Apex gearboxes with servo motors, couplings, rack-and-pinion systems, controls and supporting motion components.
Gearbox Sizing & Motor Matching
Evaluate continuous and peak torque, input speed, ratio, duty cycle, backlash, inertia, motor shaft and flange geometry, and required service life.
Competitive Gearbox Crossover
Use an existing manufacturer and model number to identify potential dimensional interchanges and then verify torque, backlash, loads, ratio and mounting requirements.
Rack-and-Pinion Drive Selection
Review travel, speed, force, accuracy, rack quality, pinion size, gearbox ratio, preload strategy and lubrication requirements for linear-motion systems.
WBIYII Motion Kits
Organize gearboxes, servo motors, couplings, racks, pinions, lubrication components and mounting hardware into repeatable bills of material or WBIYII installation kits.
Selection note: Final gearbox selection should be verified against continuous and peak torque, input and output speed, acceleration, duty cycle, motor inertia, backlash, radial and axial loading, mounting orientation, lubrication, ambient conditions and required life. Rack-and-pinion applications should also account for tooth loading, alignment, preload and lubrication.
Tools for Gearbox Selection and Replacement
Use these resources to match a gearbox to a servo motor, evaluate an existing competitive unit, compare related manufacturers and plan complete motion assemblies.
Explore Supporting Motion Technologies
Apex Dynamics gearboxes and rack-and-pinion systems commonly work alongside servo motors, drives, electric actuators, controls, sensors and robotic equipment.
Need Help with an Apex Gearbox or Rack-and-Pinion Application?
Share the servo motor, ratio, torque, speed, backlash, load, mounting and operating environment—or the manufacturer and model number of the gearbox being replaced. Scott Equipment Company can help identify Apex Dynamics options and coordinate the supporting motion components.
