Impressions from EUROBIKE 2022 in Frankfurt: Morat Swoboda Motion was well received
The very first EUROBIKE at the new location in Frankfurt am Main exceeded all expectations. On the five days of the trade show in the new EUROBIKE City, 33,780 accredited visitors attended the Business Days and 27,370 bike fans attended the weekend’s Festival Days. Attendees from 105 countries met in person to experience the global trends in cycling and look toward the future together, underlining the interest in new mobility concepts as well as strong demand in the sector.
Compact tube drive for e-bikes
The new tube drive is invisibly integrated into the bike frame and convinces with its slim design. With a gear diameter of 46 mm and a gear weight of 250 g, the tube drive is predestined for use in e-gravel bikes or e-race bikes. The high-performance, two-stage hybrid planetary gearbox contributes to improved NVH performance. Planetary carriers and a gear housing made of aluminum simultaneously reduce weight and optimize heat transfer. Torque is transmitted to the crankshaft by a crown gear set. Thus, no axial adjustment of the pinion is required, resulting in ultimate reliability in the assembly process.
Technical data
- Weight of Gearbox: 250 g 1
- Length of Gearbox: 70 mm 2
- Diameter of Gearbox: 46 mm
- Transmission Ratio: 93 1
- Gearbox Efficiency: ≥ 85%
- Design Life: ≥ 1000 h 3

Industry expertise
Whether drive shafts, gears, housings, electronic components, sensors, control units or actuators: Our versatile assortment of products provides the impetus for electromobility and offers comfort, safety, dynamics, precision or energy savings, depending on the requirements. With decades of experience and growing industry know-how, we are your powerful partner for the specification, development, production and system integration of your customized drive solution.
Material know-how
Selecting the appropriate material is crucial for the quality and performance of your drive solution. Whether metal or plastic – we integrate the advantages of the properties of both material groups and optimize them in terms of smooth operation, weight reduction, fatigue strength, resistance to media, leak-tightness, durability, noise minimization and, last but not least, costs, starting right from the design stage.
Gear and drive technology
Our passion is the production of high-precision gears, rotor shafts and worm gear sets made from various metals and technically advanced injection-molded plastic parts. Furthermore, we design and implement drive solutions, from planetary gears and worm gears to drive systems developed entirely according to your custom requirements.
Electronics, sensors, mechatronics and actuators
Our assortment of products includes metal/plastic components, magnets, actuators, sensors and control units. A wide variety of sensors are used to optimize the driving behavior or increase performance and efficiency. Scalable control units process a wide variety of sensor data. Our solutions are used at the interface between electronic components and automobiles. They protect the electronics against environmental influences and ensure stable function.
Project management
Guiding a project successfully and economically from development to series production requires experience, detailed knowledge, a comprehensive view of the process and close cooperation with all the specialist departments involved. Process work flows are captured systematically, and functional specifications are prepared in the early project phase. Our experienced, trained project managers support you through all development and production phases as a committed contact partner, so you and your project are in good hands from the very start.
Research & development
With a foundation of extensive expertise in the development of individual parts and complete drive systems, we don’t need to reinvent the wheel for every project. Your dedicated development team supports you with state-of-the-art CAD and calculation software from specification to series production and ensures that the final result is both technically and economically sound. We design complete drive systems with electronics, controllers and sensors according to customers’ needs.
Prototype construction
Our in-house prototype construction allows a drive concept to be tested before it enters series production. We coordinate closely with you to verify that the drive system developed has all the desired characteristics. Rapid prototyping processes make it possible to quickly produce close-to-production components so that risk-prone components can be tested at an early stage. Apart from some small differences, the design and function of the prototype is identical to the subsequent series product.
Injection molding of plastic parts
In the production of precision injection molded parts, we process all thermoplastics, a wide variety of fillers and reinforcing agents and the temperature-resistant material PEEK™. Our in-house mold making with its state-of-the-art machinery ensures a stable production launch and adherence to deadlines. From standard batch tracing to end-to-end logging of production parameters, we meet the strict requirements of many different industries.
Metal processing
Our high degree of vertical integration, experienced employees and end-to-end quality control guarantee high-quality, high-precision gear components. All metal processing work steps that are crucial to quality, such as turning, gear cutting, external cylindrical grinding, profile grinding, generating grinding, gear hobbing and gear shaping are carried out in-house. We are one of the few manufacturers in our industry to have our own heat treatment processes.
Assembly
Once all components have successfully undergone quality testing, the drive units are mounted on the assembly island, which is set up according to the latest ergonomic and economic considerations, and undergo an end-of-line inspection. Our portfolio of drive solutions includes partially assembled components, standardized modular gearbox components and ready-to-use complete drives, including a motor, sensors and a control system. We use a wide variety of machining processes and testing methods during assembly.
Testing & validation
The production process and the production facilities integrated into it are optimized until they meet the required quality targets. The production process and product are approved for series production in customer audits. Our drive systems undergo an end-of-line inspection before they ship. In this step, the requirements documented in the functional specifications concerning quality properties such as service life, noise, leak-tightness and ambient influences are verified on state-of-the-art test benches.
Quality management
The satisfaction of our customers is what drives us every day. What that means for us is that a project must meet the specified requirements all the way from the feasibility study to series delivery. Both Swoboda and the Franz Morat Group introduced highly efficient quality management early on. The common standard is the certification according to IATF 16949, which combines numerous quality standards of the automobile industry.
