What Happened Faulhaber launched the DualGear drive system combining its BX4 brushless motor with GPT planetary gearheads. The 32mm unit enables two synchronised movements from a single drive — targeting conveyor belts and compact wheel drives in autonomous logistics systems. The BX4 motor is available in 42mm and 68mm lengths, with GPT gearheads supporting up to three stages for speed and torque matching.
Why It Matters Two synchronised outputs from one unit reduces integration effort and saves space which is important in warehouse automation. Hall sensors with sine/cosine output enable precise rotor position detection for accurate commutation when paired with external motion controllers.
Industry Context Intralogistics environments are getting denser as automation scales up. Drive systems need to deliver more performance in tighter footprints without sacrificing reliability. Automated guided vehicles and modular conveyor systems face recurring space constraints that make duplicate actuators impractical.
Our Take The DualGear solves a specific, recurring pain point in logistics automation design. That kind of focused utility tends to land well with system integrators who are optimising every cubic centimetre.
