SIMOTICS servo and other motors for motion control and machine tools
Siemens Industry offers a broad spectrum of powerful and compact servo, induction, and direct drive motors designed specifically for motion control and machine tool applications. Available in a wide range of rated speeds and torques, synchronous or asynchronous, with or without gear units, and optimally designed to operate with fully-digital drives, you can be confident that Siemens has the right motion control motor for your application.

How big? How small?
Sizing a servo-motor system for a machine can be a challenge. But this new whitepaper gives you what you need to reel in the perfect system for your application. No more guessingj (or exaggerating) required.
