Innovative design

Our strength is to use advanced but reliable technical
solutions.

This, in combination with the possibilities given by
modern materials and production methods, creates
products which are ahead in their field.
Possibilities and willingness to go outside traditional
borders in the design process are key factors for innovative
design.

At Tractive we are not restricted by what has already
been done. We think in new and untraditional ways.
Solid billets of aerospace aluminum are machined  to create light weight, yet very strong, details. High quality special alloy steels are used for high strength gears, shafts and other stressed parts.

High precision, high quality gears

Tractive makes all the gears in-house and grind tooth profiles to very tight tolerances in our ultra high
precision gear grinding machine. Aerospace quality is standard.
All heat treatment processes of the gears are computer controlled and closely monitored during the entire proccess.

Steel components

For steel parts transmitting power or holding the machine together, we only use high quality steel alloys, perfectly suitable for the job they have to do. Here we have been able to use our wide experience from race car transmissions, were we are recognised as a leading company as well. What we have learnt in the process of designing and building winning race and rally car transmissions, has gone straight in to the wall saws. Without this experience from designing and machining highly stressed gears, shafts etc. we could not have designed the Pentruder equipment to be  so strong, yet lightweight. In a competition gearbox or transmission virtually all components are very carefully stressed and analysed by the designers. Great efforts go into reducing weight and inertia of all rotating components as well as slimming down housings while at the same time trying to keep or even improve structural stiffness and integrity.

We machine all parts in house in our modern production equipment.
