STÖBER has been a pioneer in the gearing industry since 1934. Through constant innovation, STÖBER today is known for high performance, high efficiency, and low noise, encompassing various gearing solutions offered to the industry. STOBER Drives Incorporated, located in Maysville KY, manufactures products for the North American market.

Beginning with the ComTrac Mechanical Variable Speed Reducer, STÖBER established itself as a technology innovator, later adding the reliable constant speed MGS series to broaden the product offering. The MGS (Modular Gear System) line provides a large range of available sizes, ratios, mounting flexibility, and extremely responsive delivery options.

STÖBER next introduced ServoFit Precision Planetary Gearheads - setting the standard for low noise and low backlash in the servo industry. The SMS (ServoFit Modular System) combines the proven excellence of the MGS system with servo precision to create a cost effective alternative in the servo market.

STÖBER has the broadest product offering available, providing one stop shopping for both the industrial gearing market and the rapidly growing motion control market.

On behalf of the world wide STÖBER Team, we pledge to meet or exceed your product and service needs with continued high quality solutions.
