Ikona Gearboxes
Ikona have developed a unique patented gear technology.
The technology was originally developed in USSR.
To date the technology has been developed in Canada for applications in the defence industry and automotive sectors. For more details see their website.
Bronte have entered into a licence agreement with Ikona to develop new applications for this technology in the UK.
This technology particularly comes into its own in applications that involve high ratio reductions or increases. Compared to conventional gear design large reductions can be achieved in a single stage.
The key advantages of incorporating Ikona technology are:
Significantly reduced size and weight
Reduced part count
Reduced manufacturing costIt is still early days in the application of this technology and we are keen to explore new opportunities. If you have an application that involves a large reduction or increase ratio (Typically >25:1) then we would be pleased to explore the possibility to exploit this exciting new technology.
For product manufacturers looking to incorporate this technology into their own designs licensing agreements can be arranged.
