For the eighth time, the management consultancy, A.T. Kearney, together with WirtschaftsWoche, hosted the "Best Innovator" competition. The competition is sponsored by the German Ministry of Economics and Technology. On February 7, 2013, Dr. Fritz Faulhaber GmbH & Co. KG, among other prize winners, received the renowned honour.  Over 100 companies were contestants. The awards ceremony for the 2012/2013 competition was opened by Secretary of State Dr. Bernhard Heitzer in the German Ministry of Economics and Technology.In his speech, Secretary of State Heitzer emphasised the significance of innovation and explained that the prize winners are trailblazers in this area.

FAULHABER has expanded its high performance range of brushless DC servomotors to include the new Series 1218….B. It is designed to address applications where high power and overall motor size are key requirement. Its 18 mm length makes it the most compact drive on the market in the 12 mm diameter size. It has a wide standard operating temperature range from ‐20°C to 100°C.

MICROMO is pleased to announce the new high power 0816…SR Series DC‐Micro Motors. Based on the revolutionary FAULHABER ironless rotor winding, the coreless motors deliver best in class performance in a compact 8 mm diameter with continuous torque up to 0.7 mNm and a stall torque of 1.2 mNm.

The 0824 and 1028 motors offer high precision speed control and optimal power in the smallest size.​

​The use of ball screws in the series BS 22-1.5 enables linear movements with minimum travel variations of a maximum of 5 μm over the absolute total travel.

​The LC20 Caliper Motor is designed for integration in linear stages. Its extremely compact size and direct drive makes it ideal for high precision applications.

​High drive dynamics in compact dimensions, durability and performance make the 1336 and 1741 the right choice for a wide range of applications.

​The incremental encoders Series IE3 from FAULHABER are now available in higher resolution. Constructed using revolutionary single chip magnetic encoder technology, the encoders are now available with resolutions of 32, 64, 128, 256, 512, and 1024 pulses per channel per rotation.

FAULHABER extends its portfolio of linear DC-Servomotors with the addition of a new, smaller, high performance linear DC-Servomotor based on its innovative QUICKSHAFT^® technology.
