Motors & Drive Systems

For decades, ebm-papst has been the system provider for small and industrial motors - whether flexible modular solutions or custom large-series solutions. These range from AC and DC motors and electronically commutated drives as external or internal rotor motors, right through to complete drive systems with transmission, sensors and operating electronics.

The most important components of a drive solution are the motor, control electronics and transmission. Anyone looking for a special drive for a particular application usually has to work out the right design for each of these components, find an appropriate supplier and then fit everything together. That means a lot of development work and high costs.

ebm-papst customers have no such worries – thanks to our unique modular range of drive system products.
