WITTENSTEIN cyber motor GmbH has significantly expanded its portfolio with the acquisition of Moog Brno sro, enhancing its range of rotary and linear servo motors and actuators. The acquisition enables WITTENSTEIN to offer customized, cost-efficient mechatronic drive solutions for high-precision and high-performance needs, including water-cooled rotary motors and electric linear actuators for dynamic, high-speed applications.
Servo motors and actuators built in Brno expand the existing range of solutions from WITTENSTEIN cyber motor.
Igersheim, April 2025 – The acquisition of Moog Brno sro and all associated products on October 1, 2024 has helped WITTENSTEIN cyber motor GmbH specifically expand its range of solutions for rotary and linear servo motors and servo actuators. The broad portfolio forms the basis for customized and cost-efficient mechatronic drive solutions. Water-cooled rotary servo motors for applications with special power density requirements and electric linear motors for maximum dynamics and extremely short cycle times are just two of the new additions to the extended portfolio.
The expanded portfolio as a result of the acquisition has enabled WITTENSTEIN cyber motor to achieve two main goals. "On the one hand, we're enlarging our existing range of solutions for high-precision and high-performance needs with technologically high-performance products for cost-benefit based applications. On the other hand, the engineering and technology growth made possible by the acquisition is opening up new ways for us to adapt products to specialized tasks in a constructive and economically efficient manner," explains Christoph Weis, Head of Strategic Sales at WITTENSTEIN cyber motor.
The expanded range of solutions in the field of rotary and linear servo motors and linear actuators now provides even more variance – whether for new systems and machines or when retrofitting.
The new rotary servo motors in naturally convection-cooled, fan-cooled and water-cooled versions are designed for electronically controlled drives with a wide control range, high dynamics and high precision. The broad portfolio in the power range from 0.4 Nm to 277 Nm offers numerous possibilities for modification according to customer needs – from minor customizing to completely new products.
The new linear servo motors that recently upgraded in the WITTENSTEIN cyber motor portfolio are used wherever the shortest cycle times and high precision are a must, for example in fully automated handling axes. They impress with speeds from 0.01 mm/s to 42 m/s and forces of up to 16 kN. The water-cooled versions offer an additional, significant performance advantage in terms of dynamics and power density.
The new electric linear actuators – in contrast to hydraulic and pneumatic cylinders – enable precise and flexibly controllable positioning processes in a variety of applications without the need for any retooling work on the machine. One special feature of these actuators is the complete integration of the spindle drive into the drive housing. The servo motor, spindle drive and encoder system form a closed, highly integrated and ready-to-install unit with maximum dynamics and compactness and an overload capacity of up to 170 kN.
