Catered to the evolving needs of industries such as robotics, medical devices and industrial automation, the latest 16 mm FAULHABER range includes the GXR and SXR series brushed DC motors, the compact IEX3 magnetic encoder and the durable 16GPT planetary gearhead. These components are engineered to work seamlessly together, delivering precision, reliability and efficiency even in tight spaces.

The 1627 GXR motor offers flexible voltage variants from 4.5V to 24V and specialised variants for challenging conditions, including high-temperature and vacuum environments. Copper-graphite commutation, known for its durability, provides the ability to handle higher currents and suitability for dynamic, high-performance applications. The 1627 SXR motor combines a compact design with high power production conforming to environmental regulations. It has an outstanding power to volume ratio and is ideal for high-tech applications. All components in the SXR and GXR families are RoHS compliant, and the electrical connections offer a variety of configuration options.

Both motors perfectly integrate with the 16GPT planetary gearheads, optimised for delivering high load capacity and high-speed capabilities.

For precise control, the IEX3 encoder provides up to 0.3-degree positional accuracy across wide voltage range and a temperature range of -40 to 100 degrees Celsius. The encoder ensures smooth and consistent performance in dynamic applications, and a seamless integration of motors, gearhead and encoder.

Responding to demands for high torque, the GPT family expands with the robust 22GPT HT and 32GPT HT gearheads, made of stainless steel with peak torques up to 14Nm and 18Nm. These gearheads are designed to pair with powerful motors in demanding applications, maintaining minimal backlash and compatibility with a number of stepper motors for precise positioning.

"Supplying FAULHABER's expanded range to UK manufacturers shows our commitment to providing engineers with compact, powerful solutions that outdo in terms of precision and durability. These new products give customers the tools to innovate and handle the challenges of today's applications," said Dave Walsha, Director of Sales and Marketing at EMS.
