Key Benefits
All our drive solutions are made-to-order and tailored to the specific requirements of our customers. This can include adjustments to housing, shaft, number of poles, winding, cooling, potting, IP rating, etc. These adjustments allow us to build the most efficient, lightest and robust drive solutions for our customers.
We take a holistic perspective and always look at total efficiency over the entire load profile. We tailor our products such that endurance and performance is maximized, and weight is minimized. Often, a tailored drive solution can increase efficiency by 15-30%, mitigate the need for gearboxes and reduce overall system cost.
All our drive solutions are developed and manufactured at our HQ in Germany. We employ highly experienced professionals with many years of experience. We believe in products built by hand, as it provides for the highest quality and a great degree of flexibility. We have a strict quality system which is ISO 9001 certified.
We support our customers throughout the entire product life cycle. Our engineers provide extensive development and system integration advise and support with prototyping. Following development, we manufacture the final series inhouse for as many years as required by our customers. We also offer an extensive spare parts program.
All our drive solutions are rugged in design and built for application in harsh environments. Our NOVA series of BLDC inrunners is available with ingress protection of up to 67. This makes them ideally suited for missions in the harshest environments, such as snow, desert or sea water operation.
We provide customers with tailored system solutions, comprising motor, ESC as well as related accessories. Next to the hardware, we provide extensive engineering and system integration support. In the case of starter-generators, we provide the generator as well as starter-generator electronic boxes.
