Special drives

As a leading system supplier for ventilation and drive technology with tailored control technology, ZIEHL-ABEGG is the reliable innovation partner of many companies worldwide. Thanks to our strong development team, we are able to flexibly implement application-specific drive system solutions. From deep-sea applications to medical technology, machine manufacturers from an array of industries rely on the high quality and reliability of ZIEHL-ABEGG special drives.
Whether internal rotor or built-in motors, rotating direct drives or alternators, in conjunction with our customers we develop the perfect solutions and optimise the machines according to the relevant application and operating point.

Special drives from ZIEHL-ABEGG are highly regarded by machine manufacturers from various industries and fields of application. From medical technology with its strict requirements for reliability and safety to modern, “intelligent” building technology and industry-specific, highly complex applications on ships, offshore systems or in the deep sea. As a leading system supplier for ventilation and drive technology, we develop and supply solutions for customers all over the world and design our special drives and the associated control technology precisely according to the respective requirements and individual requirements of each customer.

Powerful and suitable for deep seas: Our motors for offshore and marine technology

Motors for ROVs such as the HYDT high-voltage sub-oil motor from ZIEHL-ABEGG are true drive specialists. The compact powerhouses are used as engines for offshore and marine technology and high-load applications in deep sea settings. For example, our motors for use in great depths at sea power the hydraulic pumps that enable precise tool movement in remote-controlled underwater vehicles (ROVs). The HYDT high-voltage sub-oil motor is cooled by the flowing seawater or an oil cooler.

With ZIEHL-ABEGG oil heating motors, it is not only possible to equip new elevators, but also to modernise old, out-of-date systems more efficiently with little effort. Our FZ oil heating motor not only moves the oil, but also uses part of the drive system energy to heat it at the same time. Our oil heating motors are special drives for the highest requirements and are available in various sizes.

Precise, reliable and quiet: Our ring motor for medical equipment

The SM985 ring motor from ZIEHL-ABEGG is a particularly low-noise direct drive specially developed for modern medical technology. It is used as a drive system in computer tomographs, where maximum reliability and the quietest possible operation are important. Rotative direct drives such as our innovative ring motor enable reliably high torque and maximum precision at every movement and setting, even at minimum speeds. This means that applications can also be implemented in other situations, such as in scanner units at airports.
