Portfolio expansion for DC motors
Faulhaber has several new additions to its range of DC micromotors: the GXR 1437 family of motors with copper-graphite commutation and the SXR 1424 and SXR 1437 motors with precious metal commutation.
ABB says it has set a new benchmark in the energy efficiency of large synchronous electric motors. A motor developed for a steelworks in India achieved an efficiency of 99.13% in tests, surpassing the previous ABB record of 99.05%.

Clemens Maier is taking over the management of the industrial sector at Bachmann electronic. The 41-year-old automation expert is following in the footsteps of Leopold Matouschek, who will focus entirely on the management of the subsidiary Bachmann Visutec in future.

ABB claims to be the first company to achieve the expected efficiency class IE6 with its magnet-free synchronous reluctance motor design. According to ABB's definition, this has 20 percent less energy losses than comparable IE5 motors.

There are new variants of the high-precision motor feedback system 'EDS/EDM35' from Sick. Variants with additional sensors for monitoring vibration behavior and humidity supplement the standard variants.

Hollow shaft rotary tables from Oriental Motor's 'DGII' series are now also available in combination with the servomotors from the 'AZX' series for high torques in the upper speed range.

According to the manufacturer, the new incremental encoder from Oriental Motor is particularly suitable for use in predictive maintenance thanks to its precision in measuring speed, position and direction of rotation.
Constantly changing consumer trends, smaller batches and sustainability demand more flexibility and modularity in the production process from the beverage industry. A starter set helps to adapt machines and systems to the market.

Siemens sells Innomotics to KPS Capital Partners for 3.5 billion euros. Preparations for an IPO of the manufacturer of electric motors and large drives were announced in November.
