Faulhaber supplier in Romania
Micromotors and high-precision drive systems
Founded in 1947
Who is Faulhaber and what does it make?
Faulhaber is a German manufacturer of micromotors and high-precision drive systems, founded in 1947, with an international development and production network that includes facilities in Germany, Switzerland, the USA, Romania and Hungary. The portfolio covers DC micromotors, brushless servomotors, planetary and spur gearheads, plus linear actuators, at diameters of only a few millimetres. For customers in Romania we can quote from the Faulhaber range of micromotors and gearheads, chosen by diameter, torque and speed.
What sets Faulhaber apart is extreme miniaturisation combined with very high speeds — the brushless motors of the B series reach 100,000 rpm at a diameter of only 6 mm, and the DC micromotors of the S series have diameters between 6 and 10 mm. The planetary gearheads of the /1 series cover ratios from 4:1 to 4096:1 at diameters of 6–10 mm, and the spur gearheads of the /3 series are zero-backlash variants.
For applications in Romania where the mounting space is measured in millimetres — portable medical equipment, laboratory instrumentation, precision robotics — the Faulhaber range covers a miniaturisation niche that standard industrial electric motors cannot reach.
What do we supply from the Faulhaber range?
| Product | Description |
|---|---|
| B Series Brushless Motors (0308…1028) | Brushless synchronous servomotors, with diameters between 3 and 10 mm, speeds of up to 100,000 rpm for the 6 mm variant and torques between 18 µNm and 2.2 mNm (2.2 mNm for the 10 mm variant). They are designed for very high speeds in minimum size, in applications where low inertia matters more than absolute torque. For a quotation, the customer must send the maximum diameter allowed, the speed and the torque needed at the shaft. |
| /1 Series Planetary Gearheads | Planetary gearheads with diameters of 6, 8 and 10 mm, gear ratios from 4:1 up to 4096:1 and continuous torque of up to 100 mNm for the 10 mm variant. They couple directly to the DC micromotors or brushless motors of the same diameter range, forming a very compact motor-gearhead assembly. The customer must state the diameter wanted, the gear ratio and the load torque at the output. |
| S Series DC Micromotors | DC micromotors with diameters of 6 and 10 mm, supply voltages between 1.5 and 12 V and speeds of up to 24,000 rpm. They are the economical alternative to brushless motors, where service life and extreme speed matter less than the cost per unit. For selection, the customer must state the available voltage and the working speed wanted. |

How do we supply Faulhaber in Romania?
Information on diameters, speeds and torques comes from the manufacturer's technical documentation; we have no history of our own in using Faulhaber micromotors and we prefer to say so from the start, not at the end of the discussion. We bring in Faulhaber micromotors, gearheads and actuators to order through EU supply channels, usually in 1–4 weeks from the manufacturer's confirmation of the order. We do not promise constant availability from the factory for every combination of diameter and gear ratio. For a quotation we need the maximum diameter allowed in the application, the speed, the torque needed and the supply voltage available.
We take the exact mechanical tolerances for each request from the manufacturer's full catalogues, and the associated control electronics are integrated on the basis of the data sent by the customer.
Frequently asked questions about Faulhaber
What is the difference between the Faulhaber 0824 K006 B and 0824 K012 B motors?
The nominal voltage differs: 6 V on 0824 K006 B and 12 V on 0824 K012 B. At 6 V the nominal current is 0.66 A, and at 12 V only 0.341 A, so the 12 V version needs a driver with a lower current. No-load speed is 35.100 and 37,500 rpm respectively, and the motor works between -20 and +100 °C.
How do I choose a Faulhaber motor by code?
The code usually indicates the motor diameter in millimetres and the housing length — for example 0620 means diameter 6 mm, length 20 mm. For the right choice, the maximum diameter allowed in the application, the working speed wanted and the torque needed must be stated, and we confirm the exact variant together with the manufacturer's data.
Which Faulhaber gearhead suits an 8 mm diameter micromotor?
For 8 mm motors, the 08/1 planetary gearhead series covers gear ratios from 4:1 to 4096:1, while the 08/2 or 08/3 spur series (zero backlash) is the option when fine positioning matters more than maximum torque.
Do you supply Faulhaber micromotors in Romania?
