The modern, clear user interface was designed with optimal usability in mind, and helpful tool tips provide valuable detailed information. For faster calculation, the program…

The test tube must go into the centrifuge, the component at its correct position, and the package onto the conveyor belt: gripping objects and placing them someplace else is a fundamental mechanical action in most work processes. In modern systems, “pick-and-place” is performed by automated grippers. They must operate both powerfully and delicately millions of…

How can the earth feed nine or ten billion people? “Smart farming” is an important part of the answer to this existential question: Extremely high efficiency in food production through the targeted use of the latest technology, computer-supported and – where possible – fully automatic. Seeds are individually and precisely placed; fruits carefully picked by…

The test tube needs to go into the centrifuge, the component at its correction position, and the package onto the conveyor belt: gripping objects and placing them someplace else is a fundamental mechanical action in most work processes. In modern systems, “pick-and-place” is performed by automated grippers. They must be able to operate both powerfully…

Greater added value, shorter reaction times, more competence. Even in the year of the company’s 75th anniversary, FAULHABER continues to improve customer service. Effective April 1, 2022, Dr. Fritz Faulhaber GmbH integrates subsidiary PDT Präzisionsdrehteile GmbH from Nürtingen and thereby welcomes 34 new specialists to the Schönaich location. Thanks to this strategically planned step, FAULHABER can, with a machining…

In the age of the Internet of Things (IoT) and Industry 4.0, intralogistics plays an increasingly important role. The precise transport of goods and materials will become a key factor in efficient production. The mobile transport systems from Evocortex perform this task with unusual means. Also decisive for the realization of their creative technical concept…

Since the beginning of the coronavirus crisis at the latest, the pharmaceutical industry and laboratories have been under pressure to realize the highest possible levels of automation. Necessary here are a number of new analysis and testing devices, production lines as well as filling and packaging systems, the efficiency of which is dependent on the…

With its speed and torque, the new AM3248 stepper motor from FAULHABER raises the bar in terms of performance and dimensions. Offering up to 10,000 rpm, it can achieve five times the speed of comparable stepper motors. Combined with a gearhead reduction of 100:1, it supplies a torque of 5 Nm. The motor delivers these…

Adverse strain and continuous overloading of the spine are the most common causes of chronic back pains. The excess strain can easily be avoided by observing a straightforward rule: always lift loads with the knees while keeping the upper body upright. However, in daily life and with many jobs, this rule can be difficult to…

The new MC 3001 are unhoused versions of the FAULHABER motion controllers and, by means of the integrated output stage with optimized current measurement, can control dc micromotors, linear dc servomotors or brushless dc motors from the company’s product line from 6 to 30 mm. With an overall height from 2.6 mm and a format […]

In combination with brushless dc servomotors, the new magnetic AEMT-12/16 L absolute encoder from FAULHABER delivers absolute angle information with a preset multi-turn resolution of 16 bits (65,536 revolutions) and a single-turn resolution of 12 bits (4,096 steps) for commutation, speed control and motion control. This position data can be queried by an SSI Interface […]

Many applications require drive solutions that have a central opening through which, e.g., light, cables or parts of the application can be guided. Examples of this can be found in optics and photonics for laser steering systems or in automation and robotics for semiconductor handling systems. Until now, conventional systems always resulted in compromises here. […]

Among the changes to small motor design over the years has been the use of powerful rare-earth magnets to increase power density, making for smaller and more powerful motors. These motors are finding their way into medical devices, robotics, as well as the intersection of these two. Case in point; a robotic glove. Ironhand from […]

Musculoskeletal disorders are a common occupational disease in the EU and North America and are one of the most common causes for long- term absence from work. Work-related upper-limb disorders annually cost 2.1 billion euros across the EU and are responsible for 45% of all occupational diseases. Wearables–clothing enhanced through technology–offer an approach for reducing…

A new publication from FAULHABER titled “Drive Systems for Healthcare, Medical & Laboratory Equipment” presents medical technology applications and the corresponding optimum drives and accessories. The coronavirus and the disease it causes, COVID-19, continue to have the world firmly in its grip. The number of people who have fallen ill and who have tested positive […]

FAULHABER has extended its BXT flat motor series by adding corresponding gearheads and integrated encoders as well as speed controllers that are also exceptionally short in the axial direction. All components have been optimised to ensure that they function perfectly together. There are three different sizes available than can solve many different drive challenges. In […]

The corona pandemic has meant an increase in demand for medical equipment, in particular ventilation and laboratory technology. With its drive systems, FAULHABER makes an important contribution in ensuring the reliable operation of equipment used in these now vital applications and is doing its utmost to safeguard supply. At the same time, the health of […]

The IE3 encoder is a high quality magnetic encoder that can be combined with a large variety of FAULHABER products having 22-mm diameters.
