About us
At home in the world of demanding motion.
For over 90 years, STÖBER Antriebstechnik has stood for excellent, highly efficient drive solutions. What began as a family business in 1934 is now an internationally successful technology partner for machine manufacturers in a wide range of industries.
Our strength: tailor-made drive systems consisting of gearboxes, motors, cables and drive controllers – and above all, the people behind them. Around 1,000 employees worldwide are working together at STOBER to shape the future of drive technology. We are united by our enthusiasm for innovation, our sense of responsibility and our commitment to developing technology that really makes a difference.
Our drive systems, developed and produced in-house, are modular in design and freely scalable – for tailor-made, compact and powerful machine concepts and individual systems.
Our passion for drive technology drives us to continuously develop ourselves and our products. We take inspiration from practical experience, take customer requests seriously and are constantly looking for even better solutions.
Products & services
Everything from a single source
The STOBER drive system consisting of gear units, motors and drive controllers has a modular design and is freely scalable – for tailor-made, compact and powerful machine concepts. It can therefore be adapted to your individual requirements and combined as needed in nearly all industries and application areas.
High-efficiency drive controllers with safety technology
Whether for high-performance systems, highly efficient multi-axis applications or compact modules – the 6th generation from STOBER always has the right drive controller on hand. Benefit from four series of our drive controllers that can be combined with each other: SC6 for compact systems, the slim and dynamic SI6 for multi-axis drive systems, the flexible SD6 for all kinds of tasks, and the new, universal SB6 for a variety of applications. Every drive solution has its own unique character. And we have the matching drive controllers! Whether drive-based or control-based – we have universal and flexible solutions for any kind of motion control. The shortest possible recovery times from fast set value changes and load jumps are the reason why our drives have such high dynamics. There is also an option of connecting the drive controllers in a DC link for multi-axis applications, which improves the energy footprint of the entire system. And speaking of energy, all STOBER drive controllers comply with energy efficiency class IE2 in accordance with EN 61800-9-2.
Hybrid cable One Cable Solution OCS - Connected at a distance
STOBER has further developed its One Cable Solution (OCS) in cooperation with encoder manufacturer HEIDENHAIN and launched the next generation on the market. With the future-proof HEIDENHAIN EnDat® 3 protocol, the new hybrid cable can reliably connect motors and drive controllers at a distance of up to 100 metres. The user receives a complete system consisting of synchronous servomotor, cable and matching drive controller. To connect a motor to a drive controller, two cables are usually used: one transmits the encoder data, the other the electrical power. With OCS, a hybrid cable takes over both tasks. With small weak points: If the encoder and drive controller are further than 15 metres apart, the data can no longer be transmitted without interference. In this case, one output choke per cable becomes necessary. This component is expensive and requires additional space in the control cabinet. Since chokes generate heat, appropriate cooling is required. STOBER has solved these problems in cooperation with HEIDENHAIN: They have further developed the already existing STOBER single-cable solution and optimised it especially for highly dynamic applications in drag chains.
Planetary Servo Geared Motors – None are more compact with this Versatility!
With the new generation of planetary servo geared motors, STOBER has developed drive solutions that are the most compact on the market in terms of versatility! Benefit from a 65% increase in power density and – by leaving out a motor adapter – get the most out of the dynamics of your drive. The most impressive feature of the new generation of planetary gearboxes is its enormous variability. All STOBER EZ series motors can be directly attached in any size you need – without adapters. This compact drive gives you the benefit of up to 65% increased power density. And with the lower mass moment of inertia by leaving out a motor adapter, you can also utilize the full dynamics of the drive. STOBER planetary gearboxes score points above all for their exceptional performance, torsional backlash stability and ruggedness. Alongside that, the excellent housing and gearing quality ensures high acceleration torques and also the highest running accuracy and precision. What’s more, our planetary gearboxes have an impressively flexible interface technology. Not only can the gearboxes be combined with different STOBER motors via direct attachment, they can also be attached to all third-party motors in any size using variable adapters. As another advantage, you can also select the right bearings for the application you need. With our enormous variety, we give you all the options in the design phase to put together exactly the right drive solution for any application. STOBER planetary gearboxes are ideal for machine tools and packaging machines as well as applications in automation and robotics.
Rack and pinion gearboxes with synchronous servo motors – From full rotation into linear motion!
With the innovative system concept for rack and pinion gearboxes, STOBER has developed a compact, easy-to-use system with process reliability that is precisely tailored to the application areas of machine tools, automation and robotics. By combining them with our planetary or helical bevel gearboxes and STOBER servo motors, you get the benefit of extremely compact, highly dynamic drive solutions. Our rack and pinion gearboxes are versatile, ready-to-install solutions that are adapted to meet the various requirements in terms of load capacity and precision. Rack and pinion gearboxes with synchronous servo motors – All pinion designs are available in combination with STOBER planetary gearboxes, and the ZV series can also come with helical bevel gearboxes. Another plus is that our gear racks are perfectly coordinated with STOBER drives. All STOBER EZ series motors can be directly attached to the gearbox in any size you need – without any adapters. Omitting the motor adapter means that you benefit from lower mass moments of inertia so you get the most out of the dynamics of your drive.
Planetary gear units paired with highly efficient helical bevel gear units. When the motor gets in your way: Right-angle planetary gear units.
Our premium planetary gear units paired with our high efficiency helical bevel gear units. The result: STOBER right-angle planetary gear units! If the motor in coaxial design represents an interference contour, the combination of a STOBER planetary gear unit with a bevel gear unit is the best choice for the highest demands on dynamics, backlash stability and robustness.
