About
About Elmo Motion Control
Elmo Motion Control designs high-power-density servo drives, networked multi-axis controllers and software used to tune, simulate and operate precision motion systems. The portfolio covers low-voltage and high-voltage machines and includes rugged products for temperature, altitude, vibration, humidity and subsea operating conditions.
Founded in 1988 and headquartered in Petah Tikva, Elmo operates engineering, sales and manufacturing locations across Israel, Europe, Asia and North America. Bosch Rexroth completed its acquisition in 2022. The 2026 Titanium and expanded Platinum families add smaller controllers and drives with integrated functional-safety features for robotics and other tightly packaged machines.

Timeline
Events
- 2026-10-07 - Regulatory - Elmo Motion Control earns IEC 62443-4-1 ML2 certification
Maturity Level 2 recognizes documented, repeatable secure-development practices carried out by trained staff. The programme includes threat modelling during design, mandatory peer code review and independent security testing before release. Vulnerability and patch-handling processes cover post-release maintenance and support preparations for the EU Cyber Resilience Act.
Source - 2026-08-25 - Partnership - AIR selects Elmo motor-control stack for Heavy Lift UAS
The Group 4 VTOL aircraft is designed for a 550 lb payload and one-hour endurance. Elmo says its air-cooled drive architecture removes the need for a heavier liquid-cooling system. AIR disclosed that more than 25 Heavy Lift aircraft had already been ordered and paid for.
Source - 2026-06-18 - Product Launch - Elmo Motion Control launches Titanium and Platinum additions
The Titanium line adds dual-axis Castanet and Harmonica drives plus a Maestro controller supporting large synchronized systems. New Platinum drives extend continuous power to 40 kW while adding certified functional-safety options. The products incorporate GaN and silicon-carbide switching technologies to increase power density and efficiency.
Source - 2025-06-18 - Demonstration - Alva demonstrates SlimTorq motors powered by Elmo drive technology
Alva announced the live demonstration on 18 June 2025 for display at Automatica 2025. The setup paired Alva SlimTorq frameless motors with Elmo high-performance servo-drive technology. The source proves a demonstrated operating configuration but does not identify a specific Elmo drive model or a procurement agreement.
Source - 2022-11-30 - Acquisition - Bosch Rexroth completes acquisition of Elmo Motion Control
Bosch Rexroth completed its acquisition of Elmo Motion Control after antitrust approval. Bosch Rexroth said Elmo portfolio strengthens its factory-automation activities. The acquisition added Elmo motion-control technology, servo drives and controllers to Bosch Rexroth automation business.
Source - 2020-12-16 - Partnership - Elmo motion control supports modular laser-guided vehicle
The LGV would connect production lines with automated warehouses and move products between the various internal conveyor systems. For steering, they chose Elmo’s Gold Solo Twitter , which also offers robust power density (G-SOLTWIR80/80SE1S with fins heatsink) and includes dual encoder feedback.
Source - 2019-10-07 - Capability - All Oceans pressure-tests Elmo drives for MAC-ROV
The MAC-ROV uses eight custom 5.5 kW Gold Twitter servo drives. The drives were pressure-tested to 700 bar for deep-sea operation. Mounting drives in the thrusters freed space for additional controls, cameras and sonar.
Source - 2018-03-27 - Partnership - Roboterwerk Forbot uses Elmo Gold Bee servo drives
Elmo Gold Bee servo drives support the Forbot all-terrain robot's motion system. The configuration was documented in the robot's 2018 design.
