Two directions in servo planetary gearboxes

At the SPS trade fair in Nuremberg on 24–26 November 2026, SEW-EURODRIVE will exhibit solutions focused on engineering, energy and software management and cybersecurity, together with new motors, gearboxes and enhanced versions of the MOVI-C automation system. The information is based on the company’s trade fair announcement of 30 October 2026.

MOVI-C functions for the Machinery Regulation and the CRA

With the requirements of the EU Machinery Regulation and the Cyber Resilience Act in mind, the company is adding user management, logging, secure update and secure communication functions to the MOVI-C automation system. The web-based OrchestrationSuite offers manufacturer-independent software management, CI/CD pipelines, secure remote access and AI-supported functions for analysing PLC code, documentation and software. The MOVIRUN smart platform simplifies commissioning of MOVI-C systems without programming in the IEC editor, allowing rapid configuration of a MOVI-C controller including the connected inverters.

Under Power and Energy Solutions, braking energy is stored and reused in subsequent process cycles. According to the company, this approach reduces the connected load and energy requirement of drive systems, allowing control cabinets and electrical infrastructure to be dimensioned smaller.

Decentralised drives and new motors

New decentralised drive solutions will also be on show. MOVIDYN enables modular and scalable concepts that require less cabinet space and cabling. The MOVIDYN performance drive unit with integrated power electronics and the MOVIDYN flexible decentralised servo amplifier, which can be installed close to the motor, use the MOVI-C infrastructure and engineering environment. MOVIONE, designed specifically for roller, belt and chain conveyors, can be used as a compact drive unit or as a decentralised inverter, for example with high-efficiency DR2C.. motors.

The new ECM3C.. series of explosion-proof servo motors combines high dynamics and precision with ATEX and IECEx compliance; four frame sizes provide flexible solutions for potentially explosive areas. New versions of the compact LM3S.. electric cylinders are offered for precise linear movements. An open motor interface broadens the range of uses, while additional screw leads and an oil-lubricated version allow higher speeds and simplify maintenance.

Two directions in servo planetary gearboxes

With the PxG economy servo planetary gearboxes, SEW-EURODRIVE is expanding its portfolio for handling, packaging and pick-and-place applications. The modular design meets different load requirements, and the gearboxes can be combined with common servo motors. PxG integrated combines gearbox and servo motor in a compact unit for highly dynamic applications with limited installation space.
