MAAG Gear has shown the MAAG GEAR PPUX, the next generation of its planetary gear unit for main drives, in an animation published on 12 November 2026. According to the company, the unit’s modular architecture is designed to shorten planned service and to let MAAG configure the input and output side to an existing installation.
A complete unit, then its modules
The animation on the company’s news page shows the PPUX from every side, first as an assembled unit and then broken down into its individual modules. MAAG Gear says the modular design is intended to reduce the time needed for planned service work.
The same architecture, the company says, allows the input and output to be matched to the installation a customer already has. The announcement does not give technical data such as power, torque or gear ratio.
Cement plant drives at AICCE29
In a separate announcement dated 23 October 2026, MAAG Gear said it will take part in AICCE29, the 29th Arab International Cement & Building Materials Conference and Exhibition, in Cairo, Egypt, from 23 to 25 November 2026. The company will be on Stand P18 showing solutions for critical drives throughout cement plants.
According to the announcement, the display will cover WPU and WPV gear units for vertical roller mills, including the new NG generation designed for easier maintenance and better protection of gearbox internals. MAAG Gear will also present solutions for gearboxes from other manufacturers, among them a replacement bevel set kit that targets repeat failures while keeping modifications to a minimum, and the latest developments in its PPU platform for roller presses and ball mills. The announcement does not say whether the PPUX will be on show in Cairo.
