Direct drives

Schaeffler Industrial Drives develops and manufactures innovative motors and drive systems. Direct drives generate force directly on the moving object without a mechanical transmission — higher dynamics, precision and efficiency with lower operating costs.

Direct drives

Product range

Force acts directly — without transmission elements. Fewer interfaces, less wear, higher availability and positioning accuracy down to the nanometre range.

Torque motors

Maximum force density for turning, swivelling and positioning in all rotary axes.

Schaeffler torque motors

Linear motors

Linear motion with precise positioning, high accelerations and velocities.

Schaeffler linear motors

Positioning systems

Ready-to-install complete solutions from standard to customised for shorter production cycles.

Schaeffler positioning systems

Key benefits

Lower operating costs

Wear-free precision without gearboxes, simple integration and high availability.

Higher productivity

High accelerations and speeds, shorter machining and indexing times, more throughput.

Lower energy consumption

Compact design, fewer interfaces and better overall system efficiency.

Better machining quality

Nanometre-range positioning, excellent synchronisation and no belt-wear contamination.

Typical applications

Machine tools, medical equipment, food, beverage and packaging, printing and textile machinery, productronics, robotics and wind.
