Power meets precision - in the tightest of spaces

In order for your customer to hold a perfect product in their hands, perfect production methods are just as important. CEDS DURADRIVE equips your machine tools and machining centers with drives that help deliver on this promise.

The drives have to meet a wide range of requirements, such as swiveling, linear positioning, positioning and turning. Very high dynamics and high load changes with the associated lateral accelerations must be taken into account.

The special feature of realizing this in a very small installation space requires creative technical expertise during the development phase. The drives must also guarantee very high speeds, good synchronization properties and special controllability.

The aim of machine tools is to produce absolutely precise and accurate workpieces or molded parts. To achieve this, very high concentricity and axial run-out accuracy is required in the production processes of motor manufacturing.

It is also important to keep the heat generated by the drive as low as possible in order to avoid unnecessary sources of inaccuracy. This is ensured by optimum cooling in the form of liquid cooling (water, oil or glycol mixture).

Pivoting - turrets or turntables

Solution: liquid-cooled motors, hollow shaft motors (also with ducts) or torque motors

Linear infeed

Solution: Hollow shaft with ball screw, hollow shaft motors suitable for threaded drives from ball screw 16 to 20 (also with brake)

Turning - main spindle

Solution: Main spindle drives (also with special shaft or belt pulley) or special kit motors (stator plus rotor)

Individual drives that fit perfectly

CEDS DURADRIVE manufactures durable drives that are exposed to the most extreme climatic influences, contamination and heavy mechanical loads. Your application is our drive. Whether synchronous or asynchronous motors, servo and hollow shaft servo drives, DC motors, kit motors, torque motors or geared motors:

Each actuator is perfectly designed, electrically configured and manufactured to meet your requirements.

Robustly built

CEDS DURADRIVE also manufactures durable drives with housings made of stainless and acid-resistant steel.

Optimally cooled

Liquid-cooled drives have the following advantages:

  • They are considerably quieter.
  • They are smaller and lighter – with the same performance.
  • They are ideal for high speeds.
  • They offer maximum dynamics thanks to an ideal ratio of torque and mass moment of inertia.
  • They are extremely low-vibration.
  • They are well suited for operation at high ambient temperatures, in clean rooms or air-conditioned rooms.
  • They hardly give off any heat to the immediate surroundings. This is extremely important for high-precision machine tools.
  • An extreme switching frequency is permissible.

Safely braked

Our brakes and special brakes for hollow shaft servomotors have a large through bore, a small outer diameter and high torques.

Advantages of our hollow shaft servo drives

  • Hollow-shaft servomotors reduce the mechanical effort.
  • They are mechanically and electrically adapted to the respective application.
  • A continuous hollow shaft or a blind hole is possible.
  • The economical drive solution allows the reduction of mechanical transmission elements (e.g. clutch, belt drive).
  • Linear movement via threaded drive with rotating nut and spindle secured against rotation/spindle fixed on both sides.
  • With a fixed spindle on both sides, high mechanical rigidity and high permissible spindle speeds thanks to direct drive technology without downstream mechanical elements.
  • Positioning accuracy in the 1/1000 mm range.
  • Directly integrated actual value feedback via SIN/COS, pulse or absolute encoder enables outstanding control characteristics.

Advantages of our torque motors

  • High acceleration, which leads to high dynamics of the entire system
  • High drive rigidity
  • Momentarily strong
  • Very high repeat accuracy
  • Low-play and low-noise
  • Outstanding control characteristics
  • Low maintenance, practically no wear
  • Cost savings due to low energy consumption
