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,…
Power density redefined for demanding applications
When installation space is limited, drive systems still need to deliver reliable performance. With the new SXR and GXR motors, FAULHABER is expanding the possibilities of micro drive technology. Read more [Picture source: FAULHABER Drive Systems on linkedin.com]
Robotics has your back
Lifting, carrying and bending down are all part of the daily work routine in logistics warehouses, when delivering parcels or at airports. These activities are physically demanding and over time can also result in physical strain. Robotics cannot take over these tasks completely, but it can support humans where it counts: directly on the body…
