Asynchronous motor components
The asynchronous motor is a highly sophisticated motor concept that is frequently given preference over other drive systems on account of its proven robust nature.

Synchronous motor components
Since the permanent magnet is integrated into the synchronous motor, the motor’s field need not be introduced into the motor via an external current source (cf. asynchronous drive). This makes it possible to build drives with an high efficiency rating despite their small size. Synchronous motor technology yields fundamental advantages over the asynchronous motor in the form of more compact dimensions, higher efficiency and greater speed stability under load (such as for scanner operation).

Versions and Design
ATE not only supplies complete drive systems, but also individual components for a drive with different degrees of finishing. Customers are increasingly demanding higher degrees of finishing in order to reduce turnaround times and eliminate delicate production stages, such as metal cutting, in the customer’s plant.
