Microcomputers (processors) are also included in every BG motor with integrated electronics. They receive information from a variety of sensors and interfaces and use it to calculate the status of the motor.

Since the formation of the company, Dunkermotoren GmbH has been living by the motto of supporting its customers after buying a motor solution. “After Sales” is not only lived by the Sales Department but also in the whole company.

Especially in times of digitalization and industry 4.0 service and service competence is very important. Often, 24 hours’ production and seven days a week must be ensured without any interference. The principle applies: ‘The supplier is the solution provider’.

The diligent bees simulate it to us: Every bee performs small tasks autonomously by itself. With smart and little communication, it is possible to organize themselves and compensate errors in the whole organization. Is the decentralized intelligence an example for the interconnected motor technology or rather the centralized nerve system of the living organisms among us, were all information converge at one point, get handled and cause actions? We try to illuminate this questions from the point of view of a motor technology manufacturer.

Dunkermotoren developed a new drive combination within the modular system due to the requirement of some customers. The new drive solution consists of a brushed DC motor GR 53 with a compact gearbox SG 80, which combines the advantages of a slim motor with a strong worm gearbox.

Social Media – a term which is nowadays well known and lived. Meanwhile several of our pictures are also tagged with the #smartmotorsforsmartfactories.

Together with the renowned motor technology expert Dr. Jens Weidauer, Dunkermotoren has published a free handbook of formulas on motor technology.
