Today the ebm-papst group has a one-of-a-kind product range of motors and fans, which makes us a world market leader. Our customers benefit from the combination of our innovative potential, skills and knowledge and the exceptional commitment of each employee. Some 10,000 employees in Germany and around the world (including subsidiaries in the U.K.: http://www.ebmpapst-ad.com and U.S.: http://www.ebmpapst-automotive.us) develop and produce motors and fans with passionate enthusiasm and strive to create perfect application solutions for an extremely wide variety of industries.
At the ebm-papst Group location in St. Georgen, the focal point is small drive technology up to an output of 500 W. Based on our many years of experience, new motor layouts and drive solutions are developed here time and again over the various series. The spectrum of internal rotor motors spans from the robust brush motor (BCI series) to the dynamic electronically commutated BLDC motor (ECI series). In external rotor motor models, the Variodrive and Variodrive Compact series offer highly compact high-performance drives with a short installation length.
The electronic control units necessary for operating BLDC motors are integrated into the motor housing in an increasing number of series or are available as external ECUs. We deliver complete solutions for speed or torque-controlled drives and positioning drives.
The power range of the drive engineering reaches up to 30,000 rpm with speed and with torque up to 1 Nm – with gearboxes up to 25 Nm. A speciality from ebm-papst is motors with zero cogging torque.
In addition to the motors and electronics, other system components such as gearboxes, shaft encoders or brakes complete the range of products in multiple, versatile combination options. This way, depending on operating point, requirements and installation conditions, the best possible drive can always be selected for the respective drive task and the most widely different requirements of our customers for small motors (fractional horsepower motors) are fulfilled.
