FAULHABER BXI: Made for the Next Generation of Robotics
Integrated drive technology for dynamic, human-like movements Into the future of drive technology with new dimensions and features for robotics: The new BXI is the most powerful integrated drive system in the FAULHABER portfolio thus far and was developed to meet new requirements of modern robotic applications. Human-like movements place extremely high demands on precision, force and dynamics–from delicate grip movements to powerful, coordinated joint movements. This is where the FAULHABER BXI steps in. The internal rotor motor of the 9317 BXI G series combines robustness and exceptional compactness and defines new standards for integrated drive systems in robotics. With a maximum torque of up to 20 Nm, it enables dynamic movements, fast reaction times and a highly precise movement control. The motor covers a voltage range of up to 50 V and, thanks to the available interfaces and an installation length of just 34 mm, is easy to integrate in existing system architectures. The BXI is thereby especially well suited for applications in which every millimeter, every gram and–above all–high power density are decisive, e.g., as a compact joint drive in humanoid robots. Maximum performance with minimum space requirements The drive system forms a functional unit made up of motor, integrated stepped planetary gearhead and high-resolution encoder. Its special strength lies in the systematic integration: maximum performance with minimum space requirements. The flat aluminum housing offers corrosion resistance and also supports optimized thermal dissipation. The internal rotor construction with 21 pole pairs, grooved stator and iron-core winding ensures a low cogging torque and a high torque density. The integrated absolute encoder with 15-bit SSI, line driver and compensation algorithm performs the precise positioning, is resistant to interference and makes a significant contribution to the reliability and accuracy of the entire system.

Quiet Operation: with 22GPT LN and 32GPT LN
New, low-noise gearhead models for the GPT family FAULHABER expands its successful GPT family with two new high-performance models that stand out for their exceptionally quiet operation: the 22GPT LN and 32GPT LN. These gearheads have been specifically designed for applications where noise reduction is crucial – such as in laboratories, optical devices, medical equipment, or testing and measuring systems. Compact, Powerful, and Quiet Like all models in the GPT series, the new Low Noise variants combine high torque with a compact design and proven reliability. They deliver up to 2.2 Nm and 8 Nm respectively for the 22GPT LN and 32GPT LN in intermittent operation and can manage occasional random peak torques of up to 4 Nm and 12 Nm. Thanks to their optimized design and an input stage with plastic gears, the 22GPT LN and 32GPT LN operate with extremely low noise – without compromising performance, robustness or durability. Compared to the standard version, the low noise variants are able to reduce noise by up to 10 dB. Robust for Demanding Conditions The stainless-steel housing provides reliable protection even in challenging environments. The gearheads are rated for a wide temperature range from –30 °C to +110 °C and maintain their high efficiency even during frequent or sudden load changes. This makes them ideal companions for high-torque motors. The new Low Noise models impress not only with their technical performance but also with an excellent price-performance ratio.
