Trenchless renovation
As is the case with any type of infrastructure, sewers require regular maintenance. But the often narrow pipes below the ground are difficult to access. Instead of unearthing them at great expense, users of trenchless renovation procedures use specialized robots that carry out the work in the interior of the pipelines. Pipetronics is a market…
What if the standard drive fits your application – except for one critical detail?
A different shaft geometry. Higher resistance to shock and vibration. Extended temperature or vacuum conditions. A specific connector. Or electronics that need to fit into a completely different installation space. Read more
Speed and torque alone won’t tell you which drive you need.
They are essential – but they are only part of the equation. Duty cycle and the way the load is transmitted also play an important role in determining which drive system fits your application. Read more [Picture from video…
Why is a motor for the operating room so much more demanding than a standard drive system?
In this edition of our Knowledge Nuggets, we take a closer look at the unique challenges of drive systems used in surgical hand tools. Read more [Picture from video by FAULHABER Drive Systems on linkedin.com]
Two synchronized movements. One drive system.
When an application requires two coordinated outputs, the obvious approach might be to use two separate drives. But what if one compact system could do both? The FAULHABER DualGear combines a powerful motor with two GPT planetary gearheads – one on each side. This enables two synchronized movements from a single drive system.
How FAULHABER drive systems are bringing humanoid robotics closer to everyday use
A humanoid robot designed to provide support wherever physical strength and helping hands are required – this was the guiding vision behind the development of ergoCub. The goal is to deploy it in practical, real-world applications, enabling it to take over tasks that are physically demanding or potentially hazardous for humans. The robot functions as…
Innovation grows stronger through collaboration
Successful innovation is often the result of close cooperation between industry and research. Together with Professor Mike Barth and his team at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), FAULHABER supported the development of a robot for student laboratory courses by providing drive systems and controllers.

There is no such thing as the “best” drive technology. Only the best one for the application
Brush DC, Brushless DC, Linear Motors or Stepper Motors – every technology has its strengths. The real engineering challenge isn’t choosing the most powerful solution, but the one that best meets the application’s requirements. Read more and watch…
Selecting the right linear motor starts long before choosing a product
The performance and lifetime of a linear drive depend on much more than its dimensions. To make the right selection, engineers need to understand the application’s motion profile, force requirements and thermal behavior. Our free Linear Motor Selection Tutorial walks you through the key steps, including [Picture source: FAULHABER Drive Systems…
Success requires talent and the courage to embrace change
Approximately 2000 employees, 15 locations, one motto: We are FAULHABER. Lutz Braun is a managing director at FAULHABER and is responsible for the areas of Human Resources and Legal Affairs. He has been with the company for 20 years and knows how important it is to look ahead, especially in turbulent times. In the interview,…
