Generally speaking, electric motors are not "lone wolves" but for most applications need to be combined with gearheads for speed reduction as well as encoders. To ensure that the components are perfectly matched to each other and to minimise installation requirements, it is recommended to obtain the individual components as a complete solution from a single source.
Environmental protection is among FAULHABER’s key values. With the core competency of the company – the development of high-efficiency drive systems with low energy requirements – the technology from FAULHABER is already making a contribution to responsible and sustainable handling of natural resources.
