Faulhaber

Faulhaber is a globally recognized specialist in the development and production of high-quality miniature and micro drive systems. The company, headquartered in Schönaich, Germany, is renowned for its unique coreless DC motor technology that provides an exceptionally high power-to-weight ratio. At Verkopershulp.nl, more than 830 Faulhaber products are available for direct delivery.

Faulhaber's core product is the coreless (iron-free) DC micro motor, where the winding structure contains no iron core. This results in virtually no cogging torque, excellent linearity, and an extremely low rotor mass that achieves unmatched dynamic response characteristics. Diameters range from 1.9 mm (0075 series) to 46 mm (4490 series) and powers from 0.5 mW to 90 W.

Beyond DC motors, Faulhaber also delivers stepper motors, brushless DC motors (BLDC), linear drives, and piezo linear drives. The BLDC motors of the BX4 series are equipped with integrated Hall sensors and sensorless commutation options for applications where minimal electromagnetic interference is required, such as medical equipment and analytical instruments.

Faulhaber also offers an extensive range of precision reducers, including planetary reducers, worm reducers, and specially developed right-angle reducers for minimal installation dimensions. The planetary reducers are available with reduction ratios from 3.7:1 to more than 1000:1 and are designed for maximum power transmission with minimal backlash.

At Verkopershulp.nl, you will find the complete Faulhaber range including matching encoders, motor controllers, and series connection components. Our technical team advises you on the right motor selection based on torque, speed, installation dimensions, and power requirements of your application.

Faulhaber has a strong presence in the medical and pharmaceutical industry, where the extremely compact and reliable micro motors are used in surgical instruments, infusion pumps, X-ray equipment, and MRI-compatible applications. The non-magnetic versions of Faulhaber motors are suitable for use in strong magnetic fields, making them indispensable for medical imaging equipment. Cleanroom-compatible versions and complete material certification per ISO 13485 are standard available for OEM suppliers of medical devices.

In the automation and robotics sector, Faulhaber drive solutions are used in grippers, positioning platforms, laboratory robots, and high-precision measurement devices. The extremely high power density of the coreless motors enables designers to build compact, lightweight robots with fast, accurate movements. The wide availability of customization options — from custom winding specifications to integrated encoders and controllers — makes Faulhaber a preferred supplier for demanding drive applications where standard solutions fall short.

History

Faulhaber was founded in 1947 by Fritz Faulhaber in Stuttgart, Germany. The company patented the revolutionary coreless DC motor in 1958, an invention that fundamentally changed miniature motor technology. The coreless winding technology eliminated the iron core losses and cogging torque of conventional motors and enabled drives with extremely low inertia and high linear speed control. In the 1970s and 1980s, Faulhaber grew strongly due to the rise of portable medical equipment, scientific instruments, and the automation industry. The introduction of integrated encoders and motor controllers in the 1990s completed the drive system portfolio. Today, Faulhaber has production facilities in Germany, Switzerland, and the USA and delivers its products to customers in more than 80 countries. Faulhaber has sustained its technological leadership through continuous patent registration and strategic partnerships with leading scientific institutions and OEM customers. The company strengthened its position in the medical market through acquisition of specialized encoder technology and integration of advanced motor controllers into its product portfolio.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the advantage of coreless DC motors from Faulhaber?
Coreless DC motors from Faulhaber contain no iron core in the rotor, which means there is no cogging torque. This results in a completely linear speed-voltage relationship, exceptionally low rotor inertia for fast start/stop cycles, and high efficiency without iron hysteresis losses. This makes them ideal for precision positioning and medical applications.
Which Faulhaber motors are available at Verkopershulp.nl?
We carry a broad range of Faulhaber products including the 1024, 1524, 2224, 2342, and 3564 DC motor series, BLDC motors from the BX4 and CXR series, stepper motors from the AM0820 and AM1020 series, and associated planetary reducers. Powers range from sub-watt to several tens of watts.
Are Faulhaber motors suitable for medical equipment?
Yes, Faulhaber delivers specific medical versions of its motors that comply with ISO 13485 quality management for medical devices. Special material certificates, biocompatibility documentation, and cleanroom production are available for OEM medical equipment manufacturers.
How do I determine the right Faulhaber motor for my application?
Motor selection depends on the required torque (mNm), speed (rpm), supply voltage (V), and installation dimensions (diameter and length). Faulhaber offers online selection tools, and our technical team can guide you in choosing the motor type, reduction ratio, and matching encoder interface.
Are Faulhaber motor controllers available for multi-axis applications?
Yes, the Faulhaber MCBL3006 and MCLM3006 series are digital servo controllers that can be driven via CANopen, EtherCAT, or RS232/USB. Multi-axis coordination is possible through the FAULHABER Motion Controller SDK. Integrated single motor controllers are available as PCB modules for integration into OEM equipment.
Does Verkopershulp.nl also deliver custom Faulhaber drive solutions?
Yes, Verkopershulp.nl can forward requests for custom winding, special connectors, special enclosures, or combined motor-reducer-encoder-controller assemblies directly to Faulhaber. Custom solutions are available with sufficient volume.
Are Faulhaber stepper motors suitable for microstepping applications?
Yes, Faulhaber AM series stepper motors are designed for microstepping with step division factors up to 1/256 of the basic step size. This makes them suitable for precise positioning in measurement technology, optical systems, and laboratory automation.
How quickly are Faulhaber products delivered through Verkopershulp.nl?
Common Faulhaber motor models in stock are shipped the same business day. Delivery in the Netherlands is typically within 1-2 business days. Less common models or specific configurations are typically delivered within 4-8 weeks through Faulhaber in Germany.
