New Motion Labs

Crunchbase Website Twitter Facebook Linkedin

New Motion Labs is a driven collection of scientists, engineers and entrepreneurs, dedicated to developing and licensing revolutionary designs for Mechanical Engineering. Nearly every mechanical component will contain a gear, belt or roller-chain drive.

This method of engagement leads to shortcomings for each technology. Our first technology, DUAL ENGAGEMENT™ is a revolutionary method of transferring power on both sides of the sprocket tooth, leading to many advantages over roller-chains, increasing efficiency, strength and lifetime at smaller weights and sizes.
