Micromo - FAULHABER 20/1R Planetary Gearhead
New Planetary Gearhead Sets New Precision Standards
MICROMO is pleased to announce the new FAULHABER technology that offers the most powerful power
20 mm allows the stainless steel gearhead to achieve continuous torque of 800 mNm, and up to 1100 mNm for
short periods during interval operation. Following intensive development with a comprehensive series of tests,
the power output was able to more than triple in comparison to previous models. The input speed reaches 12,000
rpm. The 20/1R can be combined with DC, brushless motors and stepper motors with a diameter of 17 to 22mm.
The output shaft of the 20/1R has no axial play thanks, to the pre-tensioned ball bearing. The gearhead is
available with one to five stages, and the span of the 16 possible reduction gear ratios ranges from 3.71:1 to
1526:1. There is also a choice between the normal temperature range of -10 to +125°C and a low temperature
variant with -45 to +100°C. The typical temperature range for planetary gearheads made from metal is extended
considerably. Numerous product variants, including an autoclavable version, make it easy to adapt to completely
different applications. The connection of the new 20/1R planetary gearhead is compatible with its predecessor,
the 20/1. When upgrading, the previous gearhead can be replaced with the new model without further changes.

Using AI to Collect & Leverage Data
Data is the foundation of Industry 4.0. While skilled workers will always be essential, data is reshaping the manufacturing landscape, enabling automation of repetitive tasks, empowering smarter decision-making with AI assistance, and reducing defects and downtime. This shift allows small and medium-sized manufacturers (SMMs) to compete more effectively on quality, speed, and cost. While AI and machine learning systems typically require around two years to collect enough data to reach their full potential, manufacturers can start seeing benefits almost immediately with basic analysis tools and dashboards. Our MEP National NetworkTM expert explains how in this Manufacturing Tomorrow article.
