We have seen before that due to the fundamental nature of the inventive idea the variety of the design applications for the roller gearing mechanism is extremely broad and covers practically the entire area of the currently existing market for conventional gears and transmissions and drives, and perhaps even more. Similarly, since gears and transmissions and drives are essential parts of practically all machines with moving parts the roller gearing mechanism is of fundamental importance for all machines with moving parts and in all the industries where machines with moving parts are applicable.
Obviously, this is an extremely large market with an estimated size of about EUR 100 million.
For the sake of illustration, we listed some of the most important industries and markets where roller gears and power transmissions are applicable. These include
