In 1961, Faulhaber decided to venture into the North American market — a big step for the business with the small drives. This decision has proven its worth and resulted in a successful company. Founded as Micromo in Cleveland, Ohio, the company moved to Clearwater, Florida, in the early 1990s. An important part of the…

A “compact automation” is a mechatronic system that performs consecutive production steps autonomously. Compact refers to the millimeter and centimeter-sized range of dimensions of the products to be processed. Designing and constructing such systems is one of the core activities of the Austrian machine manufacturer STIWA. Its modular system LTM-CI has been optimized for small…

With its drive technology webinars, which are around one hour in length, FAULHABER provides the possibility of bringing your knowledge up to speed without having to spend too much time and effort. Missed webinars can now be accessed online at any time. This requires one-off registration, which is then valid for an entire year. Drive…

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…

Fast-paced warehouse operations demand extensive automation, which is inconceivable without micromotors. Faulhaber weighs in on intralogistics robots and how drive system capabilities influence their design. Modern intralogistics technologies place high demands on drive systems. In many instances, drives must release tremendous force in confined spaces and perform precise positioning tasks in continuous or stop-and-go operations. […]

Sports fans want to see every little detail, and the TV cameras deliver. Whether the goalie is clenching his jaw before the spot kick or how many millimeters the serve cleared the net in a tennis match, everything is captured in detail. Images like these are only possible when the camera is up-close and doesn’t…

Competitive intralogistics requires extensive automation, something that is inconceivable without micromotors. Drive systems from FAULHABER prove their ability to perform here during sorting, transporting, and with robotics solutions. Suitable transport structures in intralogistics are a prerequisite in all industries to be able to withstand competitive pressure in the future. An increasing number of work steps…

Plastic has many advantages. One of them is that it can be imbued with any color. Whether pale eggshell, noble royal blue or gaudy orange – there is no limit to the colorful diversity of plastic parts. The coloring process can even take place “at the very last moment”, just before the injection molding of…

FAULHABER’s new L linear actuator product family offers a turn-key-solution for a broad range of applications. The L linear actuator family is designed for high performances in compact dimensions, and supports large input speed or high output force. It’s well-suited for a wide range of applications like robotics, industrial machines and laboratory equipment. A large […]

The long-awaited MD&M West, D&M West, and ATX West shows are almost here! In just a few days, engineers and innovators from all over will convene to share knowledge and new technologies that advance our collective capabilities. The conference and exhibition will take place February 7-9, 2023, at the Anaheim Convention Center in California. Here’s…

The FAULHABER Drive Calculator is the perfect tool for developers to find a suitable drive system for a specific application in record time. It is easy to use and functional. 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…
