About
About FAULHABER
FAULHABER supplies brushed and brushless DC motors, stepper motors, linear motors, precision gearheads, encoders and control electronics. Engineers can combine the components into application-specific drive systems where compact size, low mass and precise motion are important.
The family-owned German group manufactures through several specialist companies and supports global OEM programmes. Robotics applications include compact joints, grippers, humanoid mechanisms, logistics robots and inspection equipment.

Timeline
Events
- 2026-03-10 - Product Launch - FAULHABER introduces BXI integrated drive for robotic joints
BXI integrates a brushless motor, planetary gearhead, absolute encoder and optional brake in a compact joint-drive package. The drive uses a 42-millimetre outer diameter and is designed to deliver high torque where installation space and weight are constrained. FAULHABER positions BXI for collaborative, industrial, medical and humanoid robot joints as well as related automation axes.
Source - 2025-12-11 - Product Launch - FAULHABER launches IERF3 L optical incremental encoder
The encoder provides typical positioning accuracy of 0.1 degrees and repeatability of 0.007 degrees using an optical measuring principle. FAULHABER offers the IERF3 L in 22, 32 and 42 millimetre diameters matched to its BXT flat brushless DC motors. A standard line driver supports complementary signals and reliable transmission, while the optical design resists magnetic interference.
Source - 2025-08-19 - Product Launch - FAULHABER adds matched 16 mm motors, gearhead and encoder
The launch added the brushed 1627 GXR motor and a 1627 size to the precious-metal-commutated SXR family. The new 16GPT planetary gearhead is diameter-matched to the motors and supports high speeds and force transfer in limited installation space. IEX3 and IEX3 L magnetic encoders add typical 0.3-degree positional accuracy, 3.3-to-5-volt operation and a -40-to-100-degree-Celsius range.
Source - 2024-05-14 - Award - FAULHABER presents 2023 Supplier Award to SALEM SA
FAULHABER presented the award on May 14, 2024 after SALEM SA ranked first in its 2023 supplier evaluation. The evaluation covered product quality, delivery reliability, technical expertise, accessibility and cooperation across roughly 600 suppliers. SALEM supplies several FAULHABER sites with strategic turned parts including flanges, stators, shafts, tubes and caps.
