Faulhaber launches new motors, gearheads and encoders with 16 mm compliance

Miniature drive systems, servo components, and drive electronics provider Faulhaber expanded its lineup of motors, gearheads and encoders, all with 16 mm diameter compliance.

With the new size of the SXR motors, the powerful motor of the new GXR family, the high-precision encoder and the matching gearhead, Faulhaber said it presents products that are perfectly matched to one another, come from a single source and are all diameter compliant with Ø 16 mm.

The company added that this combination enables optimal efficiency, maximum dynamics and absolute precision ideal for high-tech industries and challenging applications in industrial automation, robotics and medical technology.

New DC-motors in the GXR and SXR families

Faulhaber said the new brushed motor 1627 GXR with copper-graphite commutation impresses with its high power and a wide range of equipment options that enable it to meet the requirements of modern drive technologies.

It offers flexible voltage variants from 4.5 V to 24 V and different bearing configurations. The motor can also be individually adjusted - from modifications on the front and rear shafts to options for use in vacuum or high-temperature environments. Optimized rotor balancing ensures smooth operation and contributes to the motor's durability. The hexagonal winding technology, which has a high copper filling factor, an optimized proportion of straight lines and high-quality magnets, ensure temperature stability and improves overall performance.

Faulhaber added that these are also features of the new size in the precious-metal-commutated SXR family. Joining the existing 1218 and 1228 SXR is the new version in the size 1627 SXR. It has a high 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.

The company said it is easy to combine the GXR motors and SXR motors with the metal planetary gearheads in the GPT family. In particular, the new, diameter-compliant 16GPT is ideal for challenging applications with limited installation space. Its optimized construction allows high speeds, enabling the use of the motor's entire speed range. In addition, the stable design ensures that extreme forces can be transferred reliably and large loads can be managed without a problem.

New magnetic encoder IEX3 

With the latest chip technology, Faulhaber said the IEX3 and IEX3 L offer high resolution and positional accuracy that typically reaches 0.3°. Equipped with a wide voltage range, both 3.3 V for battery-powered applications to 5 V, are possible. The encoder also works in a temperature range of -40 to 100 degrees Celsius. The IEX3 (L) is available with or without a line driver and is both compact and easy to maintain. Faulhaber said it is ideal for use in combination with the new Faulhaber SXR and GXR motors.
