Dr. Fritz Faulhaber GmbH & Co. KG

At the end of May 2014, the Rosetta space probe will swing into an orbit around the comet 67P/Churyumov‐Gerasimenko in order to map its surface and prepare for the landing of Philae. The 100kg ballistic lander is scheduled to land on the comet in November and – thanks to FAULHABER drives – securely position itself.

FAULHABER further extends its linear DC-Servomotor product range with new versions aimed at facilitating product integration inside your application. The new linear servomotors integrate an axial type connection to satisfy constrained space requirements in applications where performance and size cannot be compromised.

The well-known BX4 family of brushless DC servo motors welcomes an innovative new member. With a 22 mm module, the 2232/2250...BX4 CSD/CCD is the world´s smallest brushless motor with integrated motion controller in uniform-diameter construction. It combines all the advantages of BX4 technology in a tiny package: long service life, high non-cogging torque and freedom from adhesives. This makes them ideal for use in demanding application areas such as robotics, automation, medical technology, specialty machinery and the aerospace industry.
