SEW-Eurodrive has announced a major expansion in its U.S. manufacturing capability with the local assembly of its advanced P2.e planetary gear units, now available with lead times as short as six weeks in 2-stage and 3-stage cataloged ratios and as little as 12 weeks for non-stocked options. The new domestic assembly capability enables faster project turnaround and delivers on SEW-Eurodrive’s commitment to supporting the North American market with high-performance drive technology, engineered for reliability, flexibility, and sustainability. “With U.S.-based assembly of the P2.e line, we’re not just reducing lead times—we’re bringing world-class planetary gear performance closer to the industries that need it most,” said Austin Burdette, IG product manager at SEW-Eurodrive USA. “It’s compact, powerful, and designed for intelligent integration into high-demand systems.” The P2.e planetary gear unit series is engineered to deliver maximum torque in a compact footprint, with optimized fan-cooling options and new, modular motor inputs that do no longer require a pre-stage gearbox.
