A company with a history of success. In the years following Reimers securing of the patent, the PIV principle was developed further, improved and applied to a wide cross section of power transmission applications, including CVT (continuous variable transmission), which is the basis for the multitronik® automatic transmission that is used successfully today in the automotive industry. At the end of the 1970's PIV built on its success with infinitely variable transmissions by introducing highly efficient, precision helical and bevel-helical gear units to the market. Known as the POSIRED range, these units provide the maximum in universal and flexible application possibilities, guaranteeing optimum adaption of the gearbox version to the specific requirements of each user industry. The many features of the POSIRED range revolutionised the market, enabling, PIV to add to go from strength to strength and to introduce other precision products, including the highest level bevel gear transmissions and the POSITORQUE range of high efficiency, high torque epicyclic gear units. The success of these introductions is evidenced by the continuing demand for PIV gearboxes in heavy duty applications on bucket conveyors, furnace drives, chain conveyors, hopper dischargers, mixers and stirrer drives. In addition, PIV has also established a reputation in specialist markets with customised gearboxes for cranes, plastic extruders and mixers in feed and food industries. All of these gearboxes are at the leading edge of available technology and provide the high torques demanded by industry without compromising design life. At beginning of 2002 Brevini Riduttori has acquired the enterprise and renamed in PIV Drives GmbH. The enterprise keeps its company headquarter at its historical location. |
