Struggling with Precision Limitations in Micro Applications?
In high-precision industries like robotics, medical devices, and aerospace, even a single micron of backlash can compromise performance. Traditional gearboxes often fall short in:
❌ Insufficient Torque Density
Standard micro gearboxes lack the torque needed for compact yet powerful applications, forcing design compromises.
❌ High Backlash Errors
Backlash >5 arc-minutes disrupts repeatability in CNC machines and surgical robots.
❌ Limited Customization
Off-the-shelf solutions rarely fit unique mounting, ratio, or material requirements.
❌ Long Lead Times
Specialized suppliers often take 12+ weeks for delivery, delaying your production.
YIDI Motion solves these challenges with micron-level precision gearboxes designed for high torque, zero backlash, and rapid deployment.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What’s the minimum backlash achievable in your micron gearbox?
Our MG-15 and MG-30 series achieve ≤1 arc-minute backlash, while the MG-50 series is rated at ≤1.5 arc-minutes. For ultra-precision applications (e.g., semiconductor, metrology), we offer custom tuning down to 0.5 arc-minutes.
Q: Can you provide custom gear ratios or mounting configurations?
Yes! We specialize in OEM/ODM solutions. Common customizations include:
- Gear ratios: 3:1 to 100:1 (or higher on request).
- Mounting: Flange (NEMA 17/23/34), shaft output (smooth, keyed, or splined).
- Materials: Stainless steel (17-4PH, 316L), titanium, PEEK, or Inconel.
- Lubrication: Food-grade, vacuum-compatible, or extreme-temperature greases.
