Our drives are used wherever there can be no compromises regarding precision, performance, reliability, and quality. Experts from our business units work on this every day.
Nowhere are the requirements for technical components as high as in medical applications: Absolute precision, sterilizability, minimal vibration, power density in a compact size, and low heat build-up in the drive are essential.
Industry 4.0, IoT, and AI require complex mechatronic drive systems, whose components are perfectly synchronized. We constantly raise the bar for precision, sustainability, and reliability while keeping costs in mind.
Whether it is long-haul aircraft, UAVs, or Mars rovers, hundreds of powerful drive systems are required for liftoff. Our components remain highly precise even in extreme environments, propelling space missions forward and improving the passenger experience.
The future of mobility is electric. Our system solutions tailored to the market serve as the foundation for implementing complex applications, such as modular wheel drives, adaptive chassis systems, electric brakes, lightweight e-bike drives, battery management systems or autonomous logistics robots.
