Baumüller offers a calculator that calculates the potential energy savings when switching from hydraulics to servo-hydraulics. Details about it and products from different manufacturers of the technology can be found below:  
  • Bosch relies on hydrogen propulsion. Electric cars are important for reducing CO2 emissions in transport. But the question arises as to whether it is also economical to operate heavy commercial vehicles with a payload of 40 t on battery power over long distances? Find out below why Bosch is further developing the technology and what portfolio it has...
  • Potato harvesters collect the popular tuber vegetables from the ground during the potato harvest and hand them over to the tractor driving in front. This automated process also does justice to the growing population and to some extent secures the global food supply. A global manufacturer of such potato harvesters had technical problems and turned to Tsubaki. The freewheeling of the drive specialist solved the problem.  
  • The servo motor and servo amplifier portfolio from Mitsubishi Electric is very versatile. Combined with innovative maintenance, the latest servo systems make machines more efficient, minimize downtime and improve productivity. Now the automation company is going one step further and equipping its servo motors with artificial intelligence (AI). These and other servo motor innovations...
  • Koco Motion offers a comprehensive product range of drive technology for medical technology, which is currently booming. With the DC motor, bell rotor motor, brushless DC motor, precision geared motor, precision servo motor and miniature stepper motor portfolio from Constar, almost all developers' wishes can be fulfilled. Medical pumps, surgical instruments, respirators or prostheses, for example, are possible applications.  

Drive technology for mechanical and plant engineering

Drive technology plays an important role in machine and plant engineering in the context of factory automation in the context of Industry 4.0. Preventive Maintenance (preventive maintenance), Predictive Maintenance (predictive maintenance) or Condition monitoring (Machine condition monitoring) is integrated into countless mechanical and electrical applications. Sensors, encoder and communication technology have found their way into engines, transmissions, Rolling and even clutch or brake. 

The key points of tomorrow's machine maintenance are permanent inspection, needs-based maintenance - planned and appropriate to the workload, automated remote maintenance or error analysis across machines and plants. Mayr Antriebstechnik offers solution concepts in the area based on permanent inspection clutches and brakes for Condition monitoring and predictive maintenance. We present the new developments to you in this article:
