Faulhaber has extended the BXT motor family, consisting of brushless DC servomotors with a particularly short design, in all sizes to include a diameter-compliant integrated speed controller.

With the DFA90, Nanotec is expanding its range of BLDC motors with an external rotor with a rated power of up to 170 watts and a diameter of 90 millimeters.

When the new Ecodesign Directive comes into force in summer 2021, standard asynchronous motors will have to become even more energy-efficient. Lenze has taken the first steps in this direction and is already launching a new motor platform on the market with the m500 series.

Maxon is launching several new products in spring 2020. The new EC-i 52 Power up, for example, meets the demand from customers in the field of industrial applications that require additional torque power.

Online retail is booming. Manufacturers, retailers and logistics service providers need to optimize their processes accordingly. In order to become more efficient and protect the health of employees, it is worth investing in ergonomic lifting equipment.

SEW has expanded its portfolio of DCA.. compact extra-low voltage drives to include right-angle and offset gearmotors. This gives users greater flexibility when integrating the drives into their machines.
System developers who opt for rodless actuators are faced with a choice. Almost any combination of sliding screw drive, ball screw drive or timing belt with plain, ball bearing or roller guides could lead to the optimum solution.

Synchronous reluctance motors (SynRM) from ABB offer a new way to meet the growing demand for greater energy efficiency. The motors now meet the criteria of the new ultra-premium energy efficiency class IE5.
Researchers at Fraunhofer IOSB-INA and the OWL University of Applied Sciences are working on solutions to enable machines to communicate with each other on factory floors via light pulses in the future. The technology is not new, but the task now is to develop it further for industry.
