Energy-efficient drive technology
The new PMCenergy SD energy storage units from Pilz save up to 60 percent energy. To achieve this, the energy generated during braking is absorbed, temporarily stored and reused - without any repercussions for the power grid

In addition to its range of lifting rollers, Blickle will be exhibiting the Ergomove series electric drive system at Motek. Depending on the model, it has a permissible total weight of one to two tons load capacity.
Wheels and castors increase work safety
If designed correctly, wheels and castors can make a significant contribution to increased work safety. The main causes of accidents at work can be mitigated by moving and braking loads safely and keeping them stable.
Machine automation in packaging technology
Standardized cardboard boxes, which are often too large, also transport a lot of air. To reduce this air, Opitz developed the Vario 558 volume reducer, which includes the Movi-C modular automation system from SEW-Eurodrive.
Kohls Maschinenbau uses gas springs from ACE in its new vertical bandaging machines. Anyone who has ever been bandaged due to a sports injury knows how important it is to have an even and flat wrap.
Servo clutches and brake systems

Mayr will be presenting backlash-free servo couplings for all drive constellations and reliable braking systems for vertical axes at the AMB.

Mayr Antriebstechnik will be presenting backlash-free servo couplings for all drive constellations and braking systems for vertical axes at the AMB.
The main causes of accidents at work are minimized by safe movement and braking as well as a firm stand of loads. Blickle, the wheel and castor specialist, makes a contribution to increasing occupational safety with its products.

Switched, predominantly converter-fed devices such as electric drives generate harmonics and voltage drops. They also require reactive power.
