Even before the Covid-19 pandemic, the global flow of goods and worldwide logistics kept the economy going. This is only possible thanks to comprehensive automation within the logistics chain, which would be inconceivable without a fleet of high-performance miniature motors. Learn more about these and other fascinating applications in motion – the magazine with drive technology, published by FAULHABER. motion 1/2020 is available free of charge in electronic or print format.
Electric motors in most applications must be combined with gearboxes for speed reduction and encoders. To ensure that the components are perfectly matched and assembly effort is kept to a minimum, it is advisable to source the individual components as a complete solution from a single supplier. Drive specialist FAULHABER has therefore expanded its BXT flat motor series to include matching gearboxes and integrated encoders and speed controllers, which are also unusually short in the axial direction.
There are many similarities between Formula 1 and the ETH Zurich Cybathlon competition: The driver pilots a high-tech vehicle that is constantly being optimized by a team of top-class specialists. The sporting competition also serves to further develop the technology – in the service of people with physical disabilities. FAULHABER is on board – with high-performance motors for wheelchairs and as a sponsor of the defending champion, Team HSR Enhanced.
Musculoskeletal disorders are a widespread occupational disease in the EU and North America and one of the most common causes of long-term work absences. Work-related upper extremity injuries cost €2.1 billion annually across the EU and account for 45 percent of all occupational diseases. Wearables, clothing enhanced with technology, offer a way to prevent these injuries. For example, a soft robotic glove reinforces the human grip. The grip strength support for individual finger joints is made possible by FAULHABER drives.
More and more, faster and faster, further and further – everything has to arrive at the right place at the right time – the global flow of goods keeps the economy running and everyone involved on their toes. This only works through comprehensive automation within the logistics chain, which would be inconceivable without an armada of high-performance miniature motors. That's why FAULHABER drives are frequently found in these demanding applications.
