Motors & motion control

Motion control – platform-open, from three-phase motor to servo.

We build the actuator. You choose the motor that drives it – from a robust three-phase motor to a servo drive for demanding motion control.

What motion control delivers

Position, synchronise, traverse with force control.

We build the actuator so that it does not just move but follows your application – from the simple positioning movement to the networked, controlled motion-control axis system.

Positioning

Approach exact points

Repeatable approach of defined positions via encoder and position control – process-reliable instead of just "open/close".

Synchronisation

Traverse in sync

Several actuators run synchronised – for flaps, gates and adjustments that must work without jamming.

Force control

Force instead of a fixed end stop

Defined pressing, holding and positioning forces: the motion follows the process, not just a mechanical stop.

Sensors & fieldbus

Integrated into your control system

Limit switches, encoders and potentiometers integrate the actuator into your control system, diagnostics and networking.

Motors & motion control

Platform-open: classic three-phase – or servo for motion control.

We build the actuator. You choose the motor that drives it – from a robust three-phase motor to a servo drive for demanding motion control.

Classic: three-phase motor

Robust, economical standard solution for reliable lifting and positioning motion – proven and long-lasting.

Motion control: servo – platform-open

For precise, dynamic and networked motion we equip the actuator with all common servo motors – e.g. SEW, Beckhoff (EtherCAT), Fanuc, Siemens (PROFINET, SIMOTION) – exactly as it fits your control environment.

Customer-supplied servo motors are possible: you provide the preferred motor, we integrate it into the actuator.

Control system of your choice

The mechanics stay – the control system is yours.

Which control system drives the actuator is your decision. The proven S+R mechanics are not tied to any control brand or generation – that saves training and licences and protects your investment.
