While Boston Gear does not manufacture complete robots, its robot-based products are critical components that power and control robotic systems. The flagship Micron TRUE Planetary Gearheads deliver high torque density, low backlash, and exceptional precision for robot joints, collaborative robots, and autonomous mobile robots. These gearheads are widely used in robotic arms, pick-and-place systems, and automated guided vehicles. Boston Gear’s 700 Series stainless steel worm gear reducers and Gen2 SS700 series provide washdown-ready durability for food-grade robotic palletizing and packaging lines, while inline helical and bevel gear drives power conveyor-integrated robotic cells. The company also supplies AC/DC motors, overload clutches, and shaft accessories that integrate seamlessly into robotic end-of-arm tooling and drive trains.

Boston Gear emphasizes reliability, easy integration, and long service life, helping engineers and integrators build robust, high-speed automation solutions across packaging, palletizing, and material-handling robotics.
