Sectors
Offering a range of brushed motors, brushless DC motors and actuation systems, EMS can meet the demands of even the most specialist applications. With partnerships with some of the world’s leading drive system suppliers, including FAULHABER, we provide the drive system to meet your specifications.
Some of the key sectors our products and services support include:
In medical applications, small DC motors are used for a variety of crucial applications from directing radiotherapy beams, to driving prosthetics and laboratory equipment. Medical applications require micro motors capable of working to an extremely high precision and must be able to deliver this level of high performance continually over extended periods.
Learn how systems including brushless and brushed DC motors supplied by EMS have been used in prosthetic and anaesthesia systems.
Safe and effective healthcare applications are reliant on the precision, reliability and power of micro motors. These compact solutions can be found in a variety of medical applications from personal protective equipment (PPE) to motorised hospital beds and rehabilitation exoskeletons, all of which rely on the accuracy and controlled movement of micro motors.
In these applications, micro motors are the optimal choice to deliver the durability and capability of continuous operation. Because healthcare devices are used directly alongside patients, silent or near-silent operation is preferred to minimise patient disturbance and provide a more comfortable experience.

Precision drive systems are essential components in robotic and industrial automation applications, enabling machines to perform tasks with remarkable accuracy and repeatability in highly demanding environments.
Class leading reliability and efficiency contribute to longer system lifespans and lower maintenance costs, and consistent product development allows us to keep up with ever-increasing demands of the industry.
Testing can take place at any stage of a product’s lifecycle, from analysing the hardness and composition of raw materials to verifying the performance of the finished component.
High-precision drive systems are essential for reliable testing equipment. DC micromotors power sample mounts and position optical components with accuracy, enabling thorough inspection without risk of measurement errors. Their smooth, controlled movements ensure consistent results and reduce the chance of misalignment.

As manufacturers face increasing pressures to produce more products in less time, automation is key to meeting demand. Modern factories now include many technologies as standard, including conveyer belts and robotic arm grippers.
The demands placed on these motors are high. They must be able to work with high precision and be able to reposition quickly. Long operational lifetimes with high reliability are standard requirements to minimise downtime on the factory floor. They must also be easy to configure and integrate into new and existing systems.
Applications rarely get more demanding than those within aerospace and aviation. Here, brushless and brushed DC motors can be used to control the flow of aircraft fuel and help carefully position satellites in space.
The micro motors used in these applications must be capable of withstanding extreme conditions that include harsh temperatures and severe shock and vibrations.
Furthermore, the drive systems used in these applications must be extremely reliable. This is because of the critical roles that the motors play and also because maintenance can be difficult to carry out regularly, especially for applications in space.

In an increasingly high-definition world the stability and repeatability of recorded information, be it audio visual or encoded data is essential to support the expectations of both the industrial and consumer marketplace.
Precision drives allow extremely fine control of pan-tilt-zoom systems used in advanced camera systems, and high end turntables demand very high stability and low noise to give the used the very best audio experience.
From aligning laser beams and driving thermal cameras to powering microscopes and telescopes, micromotors are crucial in enabling the functionality of optical technologies.
These high performance motors must work with precision, while maintaining a low weight to ensure device portability.
Furthermore, the ability to change direction quickly is essential for fast focusing, a crucial element in many optical applications.

Many industrial sites often have areas that are hazardous or hard-to-access, such as offshore platforms or underground tunnels. In these scenarios, robotics can provide a safer and more efficient alternative to human operators. These robots can be controlled remotely to perform detailed visual inspections, collect data and operate continuously.
Small DC micromotors ensure robots function effectively in confined spaces. The motors must also deliver reliable high performance in harsh environments, including extreme temperatures, dust and high humidity. High power and torque are also vital features to ensure the robot can move steadily across more challenging terrain.
