Innovations

Flat motors with encoder

The external rotor BLDC motors DFA90 and DFA68 are now available with an integrated inductive 3-channel encoder with 4,096 CPR. Combine them with a Nanotec motor controller and gearbox.

Anti-backlash nuts with torsion spring

The LSNUT-AGAC and LSNUT-AGAE threaded nuts eliminate the axial backlash of the screw drive and readjust themselves during operation. They can be used with Nanotec’s external linear actuators.

High-performance servo motor

The APBA80 brushless DC motors feature an integrated encoder and a rated power of up to 1,000 W. They are ideal for battery-powered applications, such as AGVs or service robots.

Firmware update available now!

Plug & Drive Studio 2.1 comes with a firmware update that includes new features: processing of input from multiple sensors, slow speed mode, user-defined SI units and normalized PI parameters.

Brake for wheel drives

For applications that require repeated and dynamic braking, the WD wheel drives are now available with a pre-mounted motor brake. Just select the required reduction ratio and a matching motor.

Geared motor for small spaces

Combining Nanotec’s brushless DC motor DFA68 with the new high-torque planetary gearbox GP56 results in a very short geared motor with torques of up to 26Nm.

Wheel drives for service robots

The WD wheel drives consist of a wheel, integrated planetary gearbox and bearing in one unit. Combined with Nanotec’s motors and controllers, they are ideal for use in service robots or AGVs.

Stepper with FluxFocus technology

Due to Nanotec’s new FluxFocus technology, the SCB56 motor achieves the highest torque/size ratio of all standard NEMA 23 stepper motors on the market. Its max. holding torque is 2.95 Nm.

Actuators with more thrust

Thanks to their special stator geometry and optimized magnet materials, the Nanotec actuators generate considerably more force than comparable actuators.

High-torque gearboxes

For applications that require a high torque, Nanotec offers planetary gearboxes in one- and two-stage versions with mounting flanges for all compatible brushless DC and stepper motors.

High-performance motor controller

The CL4-E motor controller is characterized by high performance and compact design. It has a peak power of 1050 W and operates at 58 V. Additional heat sinks are not required.

Nanotec expands management team

Nanotec has expanded its management team by appointing Dr. Christian Hainzlmaier as Managing Director. He joined the company in 2019 and heads R&D, production and quality.

Nanotec is among the TOP 100!

In the independent TOP 100 benchmarking competition, Nanotec convinced the jurors with its innovation management, placing it among the top innovators in Germany in 2021.

Captive linear actuators – how they work

The integrated linear guide is the main characteristic of captive linear actuators. The lead screw travels back and force in a linear motion as our video shows. Just watch.

Non-captive linear actuators – design

Linear actuators without linear guide need an external guide to prevent the lead screw from rotating. Watch our video to learn more about the movement of the rotor and the lead screw.

Job openings

We look forward to hearing from you even if we are not currently advertising a position that matches your skills.

Mission on Mars

Students from the Technical University of Dresden built a Mars Rover that simulated a mission on Mars. For steering and driving the vehicle they used motors and gearboxes from Nanotec.

How to configure motor controllers

In this one-hour webinar you will learn more about the various control methods, the differences between open-loop and closed-loop and the structure of motor controller firmware.

Linear Actuators – Types and function

What are the different types of linear actuator and how do they differ? How do I find the right lead screw and why is the thread lead so important? Our experts will answer these questions.
