FAULHABER Drive Systems

How do you make planets visible when they are almost completely outshone by their stars? 🔭 This is one of the challenges the 𝗡𝗮𝗻𝗰𝘆 𝗚𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗥𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻 𝗦𝗽𝗮𝗰𝗲 𝗧𝗲𝗹𝗲𝘀𝗰𝗼𝗽𝗲 is designed to tackle. Its Coronagraph Instrument will help scientists directly observe exoplanets close to distant stars. A crucial role is played by the Precision Alignment Mechanisms developed by the Max-Planck-Institut für Astronomie (MPIA). They precisely position and stabilize optical components such as mirrors and filters – with FAULHABER brushless DC motors of the 1628…B family combined with 15/10 planetary gearheads at their core. The required precision is extraordinary: over more than eight hours, the optical elements may tilt by no more than 40 milliarcseconds – roughly equivalent to the apparent size of a person in Los Angeles viewed from Heidelberg. 🚀 On Sunday, Roman began its journey into space – with FAULHABER #PrecisionEngineering on board.

What puts more stress on a surgical drive system: the operation or the sterilization process? The answer might surprise you. After every procedure, powered surgical hand tools must undergo autoclave sterilization. Repeated exposure to high temperatures and moisture places significant stress on motors, gearheads and other drive components throughout the product's lifetime. In this Knowledge Nugget, we explain why autoclavable drive systems require specialized design, rigorous testing and thorough validation to ensure long-term reliability. 🎥 Interested in learning more? Watch our webinar https://lnkd.in/e_Y3a8qc and discover what it takes to withstand thousands of sterilization cycles. #FAULHABER #MedicalTechnology #AutoclavableDrivesystems #Engineering

What does the next generation of robotics demand from a drive system? 🤖 Modern robotic applications require more than just power. They need compact drive systems that combine high torque, precise positioning and fast response times – all within an extremely limited installation space. This is precisely what 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗔𝗨𝗟𝗛𝗔𝗕𝗘𝗥 𝗕𝗫𝗜 was developed for: to meet the demanding requirements placed on joints in current and future robotics applications. The drive system consists of a single unit comprising a motor, an integrated planetary gearbox and a high-resolution encoder. Its strength lies in its compact design: maximum performance in a minimum of space. 🎥 Watch the video to learn why BXI is the most powerful integrated drive system in the FAULHABER portfolio. #FAULHABER #Robotics #MotionControl
