The success story of the „FAULHABER“ brand began over 60 years ago with the development of the self-supporting, skew-wound ironless rotor coil by Dr. Fritz Faulhaber. It is the cornerstone and quality seal for FAULHABER’s pioneering drive technology, whose dynamics, precision and reliability have unlocked new opportunities for a host of cutting-edge applications.
Today, the name „FAULHABER“ is synonymous with unrivalled technology, competence and services delivered by a global network of companies renowned for their expertise in drive, precision and micro systems. The group specializes in the development and production of high-quality standard products as well as intricate customized solutions for practically all areas in which superior precision and reliability are as essential as micro designs.
Symbiosis of fast DC drive and precision piezo motor for high-accuracy linear positioners
Miniaturization is much in demand. Whether in the field of electronics, mechanical engineering or biology, high demands have to be met in terms of dimensional accuracy of ultra-miniature structures in particular. To be able to measure structures in the sub-micrometer range reliable, specialist know-how is essential; simply adopting a downsized standard solution from the "big world" is not an option. Linear positioners, permitting tiny increments beneath a measuring probe by means of piezo actuators, have been a tried and proven method for a long time. They do a reliable job even in the nanometer range. One of the disadvantages of them, though, is the low dynamism of their drives and their limited feed length. A patented system comprising a fast DC drive in combination with a high-precision piezo rotary drive mounted on a common spindle has provided a solution to this dilemma. Rapid delivery to the measurement point, then minimal feed rate for maximum resolution over long positioning distances is no longer a problem.
FAULHABER is one of the 100 most innovative small and medium-sized companies (SMEs) in Germany.
