Modified drive solutions

Does your application require an expanded temperature range, would you like to lengthen the shaft or do the products need to be labeled in a certain way? No problem: FAULHABER drive systems can be modified easily and in many different ways.

Modification possibilities

Mechanical / Electrical Performance Enhancement

For applications that require speeds or torque that go beyond the standard range, the FAULHABER drive systems can be easily modified.

Icon with two jagged lines symbolizing shock and vibration resistance.

Shock & Vibration resistance

For drives that are exposed to high vibration or shock loads, FAULHABER also offers solutions. Special ball bearings or internal modifications are possible to permit the drive systems to resist.

Icon with a shield and checkmark symbolizing EMI protection (electromagnetic interference protection).

EMI Protection

Depending on the application area and ambient conditions, the use of drive systems may cause electromagnetic interference. FAULHABER products are designed to emit low interferences and to resist at interferences.

Software / Firmware / Communication

FAULHABER drive electronics can also be modified. Dedicated parameters or special programs can be provided according to customer specifications. This saves you time! 

Modifications can even be made to the drive electronics developed by FAULHABER in the form of special features or customer-specific motherboards.

Mechanical / Electrical Interfaces

FAULHABER offers numerous possibilities for modifying the mechanical and electrical interfaces. The shape of the shaft can be modified and a second shaft end is available. Various adaptations such as flats, gears, pulleys and eccentrics as well as modifications to the front flange ensure further flexibility . Adaptations to the electrical interfaces include cable lengths and versions (single-strand, ribbon cable, PTFE insulation) as well as connector options.

Icon with an abstract laser beam design symbolizing product marking and serialization.

Product Marking / Serialization

The products from FAULHABER can be provided with individual labeling. There are numerous possibilities, we can for example write your logo, your product name or add a serial number.

Icon with a speaker symbol and sound waves representing noise optimization.

Noise Optimization

FAULHABER drives produce only minimal vibrations and noise. To keep the noise low, various modifications can be undertaken. For example, the noise can be reduced by using a special lubricant or special balancing.

Icon showing a checklist symbolizing EOL testing (End-of-Line testing) and documentation.

EOL Testing / Documentation

Within the scope of the EOL testing (end of line), FAULHABER can perform special tests on the product. For example a special dimensional check, on axial play, electrical values or other parameters. The execution and results of the tests are documented and recorded. The documentation may include a certificate of conformity (CoC), a certificate of compliance with the order, a test report as well as an inspection certificate, depending on your requirements.

Icon with a thermometer and a droplet symbolizing extended temperature, humidity, or vacuum ranges.

Extended Temperature / Vacuum Environment / Humidity

If your drive system is exposed to extreme temperature conditions, the products can be modified accordingly. Motors and gearheads can be modified to be used in a vacuum environment. Some products are also available with IP certification.

Application examples

Brushless motor in Agricultural robotics. Automation fertilizer header

Aero fertilizer spreaders from agricultural machinery manufacturer RAUCH

Aero fertilizer spreaders allow fertilizer to be precisely applied at the exact locations and in the dose it is needed. Thirty spreading sections can be actuated individually and feature cam wheels that divide the fertilizer granulate into small portions. Each of these cam wheel segments is moved by a brushless flat motor of the FAULHABER BXT family with a special modified gearhead. This extremely compact drive, contained in robust steel and aluminum housings, can withstand the difficult conditions encountered in agriculture, such as mechanical vibrations and extreme weather.

4 pole brushless motor from Faulhaber for schunk pneumatics gripper

Electrical small parts gripper from SCHUNK

Pick & Place: Removing objects and setting them back down at the correct location is a standard task encountered in many handling and assembly processes. The small parts gripper from SCHUNK can perform these tasks without the use of compressed air and achieves an even greater closing force than its pneumatic counterpart. In this application, SCHUNK relies on a high-performance DC-motor from the FAULHABER BX4 series and control electronics that were tailored exactly to the requirements: The shape of the PCB and the arrangement of the components were optimized to allow them to fit inside the gripper. Moreover, the controller was provided with a customer-specific connection and an EMC suppressor circuit to protect against electromagnetic disturbances.
