Every beginning needs drive Our success story began in the late 1940s. In 1947, the young engineer Dr. Fritz Faulhaber founded "Feinmechanische Werkstätten" (Precision Mechanical Workshops), his first company. His customers included the renowned camera manufacturer Voigtländer, for whom he developed the "Vitessa" in the early 1950s. The "Vitessa" camera could be operated with revolutionary simplicity: The camera could be triggered and the film advanced simply by pressing two buttons one after the other. At that time, he was already playing with the idea of using an electric motor to advance...

In the Philae lander, 14 FAULHABER drive systems successfully defied the harsh conditions of its 10-year journey through the vacuum and extremely low temperatures of space. Where have we come from and where are we headed? This is a question that we naturally ask ourselves in our anniversary year, but also one that humanity has been considering for thousands of years. Finding out the answer was the focus of the Rosetta mission when the space probe visited the comet 6 7P/ Churyumov-Gerasimenko in 2014, but also of our team of developers, when the scientists of the ESA entrusted them with an...

Extremely high efficiency in food production through to this existential question: portant part of the answer the targeted use of the l atest technology, computer- supported and – where possible – fully automatic. Seeds are individually and precisely placed; fruits carefully picked by mechanical grippers; fertilizers and plant protection products applied in small doses and in a targeted manner. These operations require a large number of small electric motors that are both robust and powerful. Quantum computers, space tourism or hydrogen technology – the latest technological hype focuses on...
