Mechanical design engineers planning a drivetrain typically have a range of component options to choose from, and many decisions will boil down to the specific application. When it comes to creating optimal torque output, rotational speed and direction, few decisions are as important in designing high performing gear drives as choosing the right gear for the job. 

Portescap highlights the B16C gearbox as an ideal solution for optimizing infusion pump designs. This innovative spur gearing solution is tailored for engineers aiming to optimize their infusion pumps without sacrificing performance or reliability. The B16C's compact design reduces the overall length by 3 to 4 mm compared to similar motor/gearbox composites, making it an ideal choice for space-constrained applications.
