After the GR 80 series had already been optimized in 2019, the GR 42, GR 53 and GR 63 series will follow, which will offer up to 10% more continuous torque and a more corrosion-resistant surface. In Dunkermotoren's case, the designation GR stands for brushed DC motors with permanent magnetic excitation.

The beginning of June marks the start of an extensive webinar program from Dunkermotoren.

On June 02, the first topic block "With Dunkermotoren to the Smart Factory" will start. Michael Burgert, Product Manager for BLDC motors will give an introductory training on the topic of smart motors and present Dunkermotoren's portfolio in the field of brushless DC motors.

How is Dunkermotoren working on the future in the Corona crisis? Managing Director Uwe Lorenz and Product Strategy Manager Tobias Pfendler provide answers in an exclusive interview with Konstruktion & Entwicklung.

Mr. Lorenz, "a crisis decelerates" is what you said in light of the first Corona pandemic lockdown in 2020. How did your company take advantage of this deceleration?

The availability of 3D models and thus a simple and fast integration into CAD systems was not yet a market standard in drive technology about 15 years ago. Dunkermotoren had already recognized the trend at that time and has since then offered this service to its customers for the complete product portfolio.

Beginning of April, Dunkermotoren launches its new online shop. The new online shop is based on an online product configurator that the drive manufacturer already integrated into the website in 2018. This enables customers to configure the perfect drive online from 125,000 possible configurations, check availabilities and order directly. The matching drive specifications and 3D models can also be downloaded directly.

With currently almost 27 million possible product combinations, our online configurator offers suitable motor solutions for demanding requirements. Simply enter your required parameters, e.g. torque, speed, voltage supply, communication interfaces or attachments, and our online configurator will provide you with suitable products and combinations in the power range from 1 - 4000 W.

"Throttle up," "Brake up," "Turn left," "Wiper on," "Kill high beams," ... These are just a few of the basic functions of any motor vehicle. Some vehicles have special functions: "Panorama roof open" or "Seat heating level 3" or "Interior lighting: dark blue". All these functions are monitored and controlled in the vehicle by a software program in a control unit.

Intelligent devices are now ubiquitous. They provide information about their condition and have sufficient computing power themselves to make real-time decisions about their interaction with the environment. Dunkermotoren, as pioneer and world market leader of smart integrated BLDC motors, is constantly pursuing this path of decentralization.
