Bremerhaven, October 2022 - Robase motors are the classic synchronous motors from Bremerhaven-based manufacturer Rotek.
They combine all the advantages of synchronous technology. Due to their design, there are no losses in synchronous motors in the permanent-magnet, conductorless rotor. They therefore have a higher efficiency and lower energy consumption than asynchronous motors with the same power - and in a smaller installation space. They deliver constant speeds regardless of the load and allow starts and stops within fractions of a second. When de-energised, the rotor magnets hold on to the pronounced stator teeth. A mechanical brake, which is subject to wear and costs installation space, is not necessary. Robase motors are available with four poles (1500 rpm) or six poles (1000 rpm).
The proven technology and its advantages are predestined for certain applications. Synchronous motors are primarily used where high accuracy and synchronisation in the motion sequence of different axes and a constant drive speed are required, e.g. in printing or textile machines and conveyor systems. Thanks to their compact design, they are also a good solution where space is limited in machines and systems. In positioning operation, their constant speed, independent of frequency and load, and their dynamic response and braking behaviour are particularly important. And they have a long service life. They can eliminate the need for a brake in many applications. They run reliably in pellet heating systems and actuators and Rotek has sold over a million of them to date.

About Rotek:
Rotek GmbH & Co. KG was founded in 2000 and took over the business area of Hasselbach & Kausch Elektrokleinmotoren GmbH in Bremerhaven, which was founded on 10 July 1984 by Paul Hasselbach and Hans-Werner Kausch. The company is managed by three partners. Dipl.-Ök. Rolf Treusch is responsible for the commercial area, Dipl.-Ing. Klaus Treusch is responsible for design, production and quality assurance and Prof. Dipl.-Ing. Wilfried Treusch is head of development.
The family-owned company specialises in the production of geared motors in small and medium-sized series. Precision motors from Rotek are used in equipment and apparatus engineering, mechanical engineering, heating technology and intralogistics. The Bremerhaven-based motor manufacturer has developed into a global specialist for customised drive solutions with a long service life. In February 2010, the company won the "preis umwelt unternehmen: nordwest" award for its Rosync energy-saving motor. In 2016, the intelligent drives in the Romotion series were honoured with the bronze medal at the Schütting Prize, the most important innovation competition in the state of Bremen.
