Mold-Based Mass Production: Lower Costs, Consistent Quality
Molding
While gearboxes offer numerous performance advantages, their high cost has limited broader adoption. Reducing the price point is essential to making gearbox systems more accessible.
One of the primary cost drivers is the high machining complexity of critical components, which must also meet demanding durability requirements. For this reason, the use of molded components has traditionally been challenging—particularly for shifting mechanisms, where parts are extremely small and structurally intricate.
Allto has developed a structural design that reduces the risk of component failure, enabling the practical use of mass-produced molded parts within the gearbox.
* CAM: Manufactured using Powder Metallurgy
Features multiple independent bores and a complex structure
* Roller: Manufactured using the MIM Process
Structurally simple but requires high precision
* Pawl: Manufactured using the MIM Process
Complex geometry and high wear resistance required
Direct gear engagement demands high strength
Materials such as titanium or SUS440 used, with hardness around HRC 50
* Clasp: Manufactured using the MIM Process
Directly involved in pawl operation
Extremely small, intricate structure
Continuous friction with the CAM requires friction-optimized materials
