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 […]
Multiturn absolute encoders with line driver feature integrated referencing
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 […]
Triad of torque, speed and precision applications
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. […]
Micro motors give robotic hand a boost
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 […]
Ironhand superpower under control
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…
Brochure highlights drive technology for medical applications
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 […]
Flat motor series from FAULHABER now features integrated gearhead, encoder
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 […]
FAULHABER contributes to supply of medical care
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 […]
FAULHABER extends IE3 encoder compatibility to large Disc Magnet stepper motors
The IE3 encoder is a high quality magnetic encoder that can be combined with a large variety of FAULHABER products having 22-mm diameters. This encoder is now also available on the DM40110R, DM52100N and DM52100R Series stepper motors. With an extended length of about 13 mm this new combination will offer high positioning resolution up […]
Online tool from FAULHABER speeds drive system selection
The new Drive Selection Tool from FAULHABER lets users precisely determine the required drive system for their application quickly and easily. It’s especially useful for developers and application engineers who need to save time in the selection process. Only a little information, such as speed and torque, is sufficient in order to quickly determine the […]
FAULHABER debuts integrated encoder for flat motors
The BXT motor family from FAULHABER, comprising brushless dc motors with especially short design, was expanded with the diameter-complaint IEF3-4096 magnetic encoder. With just 6.2 mm of additional length, the motor/encoder units also remain extremely short. In addition, the encoder is fully integrated in the robust motorhousing. In this flat design, the IEF3-4096 offers three […]
Returning to Mars in 2020 — with 3D vision
In 2020, mankind is heading back to Mars, with the ExoMars Rover, developed by the European Space Agency. The vehicle will be equipped with nine scientific instruments, including one that will be mounted on a two-meter mast on the neighboring planet. Developed by the British Mullard Space Science Laboratory (MSSL), the Panoramic Camera will take…
Tiny brushless dc motor packs a punch with torque density
FAULHABER’s brushless dc 3274 BP4 is a servomotor with incredible torque density, measuring 32 mm in diameter and 74 mm in length, but with a continuous torque of 165 mNm. It…
