FAULHABER Webinars – Driven by knowledge
No matter whether you want to learn something new from your home office, on the go or from your actual office: our webinars offer you an opportunity to learn more about our products and solutions from anywhere. Our drive experts will be presenting interesting tools and application know-how as well as answer any questions you may have at the end of each session. For example, you can find out more about our FAULHABER Drive Selection Tool that supports you in calculating which drive you may need, or get more familiar with our Motion Manager software. We will show you how to optimally use these and other tools. We also dedicate a portion of the webinars to technical questions, such as the development of noise in motors, the calculation of a dc motor or other unique application requirements. We are looking forward to a lively discussion with you!

Webinars
Webinar „Best use of stepper motors“
In this webinar, you will learn more about the Faulhaber stepper motor technology, and when to use it. Due to their open-loop control orientation, these motors are dedicated to positioning applications and intermittent operations. Details about datasheet specifications will be provided to help understand the critical parameters to consider while selecting the motor.
The stepper motor performances will highly depend on the controller parameters and configuration. Making the right choices for current control or microstepping is really important to optimize the stepper behavior.
Interesting tips and tricks about control and motor performances optimizing will be provided, as well as the limits to consider in their implementation.
Topics:
- Stepper motor technology introduction
- Understanding a Faulhaber stepper motor datasheet
- Current control: Increase power supply voltage to compensate inductive effects
- Micro-stepping: Advantages and considerations
Participation is free of charge, but the number of participants is limited.
Next date: 19.10.21 11.00 - 12.00 CET
Thomas Würgler
After completing his studies in embedded electronics, Thomas Würgler worked for 6 years as research and development engineer in the space industry. This period allowed gathering deep experience in microsystems design and high quality standards. Joining Faulhaber in 2015 as application engineer was a natural step to pursue supporting high technology projects by providing technical support on high end motors.
Webinar “Best use of Brushless Motors”
In this webinar, our expert will show you everything you need to know about Brushless motor technologies, and how best to use them in your applications.
You will see the differences between DC and Brushless motor technologies, the sensor technologies used in Brushless motors, and the electronic commutation necessary for Brushless motor control. Practical tip and tricks will show you how to use the Brushless motors for the best performance, and how to solve the most common control problems. A question & answer session will conclude the webinar.
Topics:
- DC vs Brushless motor technologies
- Rotor characteristics
- Sensors in Brushless motors
- Electronic commutation made simple
- Data-sheet and main motor characteristics
- Options and combinations
- Troubleshooting using Brushless motors
- Brushless motors with integrated control electronics
Participation is free of charge, but the number of participants is limited.
Mario Zecchin
After obtaining a Master in Applied Electronics Engineering from University of Padua, Mario Zecchin worked as development engineer for Micromotori Elettrici Svizzera SA, Stabio, responsible for automotive headlamp actuators, followed by holding a position as scientific mechatronics staff at Scuola Universitaria Professionale della Svizzera Italiana (SUPSI), collaborating with Swiss industries for innovative projects. Zecchin joined FAULHABER MINIMOTOR SA in 2007 as product manager motion control and since 2013 he works as senior sales engineer.
