EMS to spotlight custom design and advanced motion control at EDS

(See EMS at MachineBuilding.Live, 15 October 2025, on stand 208)

As the UK's largest show dedicated to mechanical, electronics and embedded design, Engineering Design Show to gathers over 200 exhibitors and over 4,000 visitors.

For another year, EMS will return to the event to exhibit a range of micro-drive solutions. Expanding on the GPT family of gearheads, FAULHABER's maximum torque gearheads, 22GPT HT and 32GPT HT, feature refined geometries that deliver greater load capacity, smoother dynamics and maximum performance. Offering three or four gear stages, a broad choice of reduction ratios and an operating temperature range from -30 degC to +120 degC, the range is highly versatile and particularly well suited to larger drives with dynamic motion profiles.

The 22GPT HT and 32GPT HT models are designed with full stainless-steel housing, providing exceptional strength, stability and resistance to harsh conditions. This robust design supports high radial and axial load capacities, which ensures dependable performance and long service life, even in tough conditions such as sudden load changes or emergency stops.

Meanwhile, FAULHABER's new MC 3602 B and MC 3606 B motion controllers make the selection and commissioning of drive systems even easier. With the compact MC variations, DC motors, brushless DC-motors and linear motors can be operated with typical position encoders as servo drive in accordance with CiA 402. The motion controllers also enable the support of stepper motors with encoder as servo or without encoder in open-loop operation.

The MC 3602 B variant is equipped with up to 2 A of continuous output current for smaller motors, while the MC 3606 B variant has up to 6 A of continuous output current for medium-sized motors.

Besides supplying a range of micro drive solutions, EMS also offers a comprehensive custom design service, based out of its facility in Dorset. To talk visitors through the service, Chris Handcock, EMS's Design Lead, will be available at the stand. From single prototypes to full-scale production, the manufacturer's custom design service encompasses everything from concept development through to precision manufacturing.

"Design is at the heart of every engineering breakthrough," said Dave Walsha, Sales and Marketing Director at EMS. "It's not just about aesthetics, but about ensuring a system can perform reliably under real-world pressures.

"Our custom design service allows us to take a customer's idea from concept through to full-scale production. By combining our in-house expertise with precision manufacturing, we create drive systems that are tailored to the exact needs of each application. Because we manage the entire process, we can deliver technically robust systems and give customers the confidence that their drive solution has been engineered with their unique challenges in mind."
