Here are some of the GMN key industries:

MANUFACTORING INDUSTRY

The high speeds and absolute precision make high-speed electric motors ideal for a wide range of manufacturing and engineering applications. The motors are used, for example, as axle drives, main spindle and auxiliary motors in a range of manufacturing machinery and production facilities and are rated highly for their high level of efficiency and process reliability.

EXAMPLES: Metal- and woodworking, milling, grinding, drilling, sawing

MACHINERY AND PLANT ENGINEERING

High-speed electric motors offer an alternative to current systems for increasing plant productivity. Their benefits become particularly clear when the application requires high speeds. When used as direct motors, high-speed electric motors facilitate new design alternatives to existing drive trains. This often considerably reduces mechanical motor complexity, making the overall system more reliable and lowering the costs of maintaining it.

EXAMPLES: Axle motors, main motors, central motors

ELECTRIC MOBILITY

The high speeds achieved with high-speed electric motors provide the highest power densities with maximum compactness and lower motor weight. This combination, along with the broad range of speeds available, means that these motors ideally meet the operating requirements of electric vehicles. Research into construction and agricultural machinery has shown that significant efficiency gains can be achieved by increasing speed. High-speed electric motors can therefore be used in this way not only in cars but in other vehicles as well.

EXAMPLES: Traction and travel motors, belt motors, auxiliary and application motors for work machines

PROCESS ENGINEERING

High-speed electric motors are particularly well suited to process engineering. Here the power output in pumping or compressing operations must be matched precisely to the medium and the process conditions. Their broad power spectrum and absolute precision mean that high-speed electric motors can be adapted exactly for the application speed needed and optimized for high efficiency and output capacity.

EXAMPLES: Pumps, compressors, expansion drive, turbines, residual heat utilization systems, generators

MEDICAL INDUSTRY

Electric motors can be used for demanding medical applications and can provide a solution that is designed for your specific application requirements. The compact size, precision, efficiency and quiet operation are critical in the medical field and provide you the customized solution for your special needs.

EXAMPLES: Vacuum sealing

FOOD & BEVERAGE

Motors in the food & beverage industry often have unique and demanding requirements. We offer a portfolio and service to help every application to reach new levels of efficiency and productivity without compromising on the standards of this challenging industry.

EXAMPLES: High speed filling

TESTING

When developing special solutions, GMN works closely with the customer to design synchronous or asynchronous motors. The most advanced computing processes and multi-variable optimization techniques are used to meet customer requirements. The combination of analytical computing processes with models and simulations (FEM – finite element methods) results in system-optimized electric drives. These drives are designed using the most advanced CAD tools and with the benefit of GMN’s wealth of experience. By adopting this approach, GMN manufactures high- efficient complete motors which exactly meet and satisfy customer requirements.

EXAMPLES: Custom test stands

ELECTRIC MOTORS FOR SPECIAL APPLICATIONS

When installation of conventional motors is not possible due to high power requirements and a lack of space, a high-speed electric motor tailored to customer specifications can open up new possibilities. As our mechanical production process is largely in-house, motors can be designed precisely for environments where they will be used and integrated in existing mounting spaces. In test rigs, high-speed electric motors allow test items to be operated to their technical limits. The motors also have sufficiently large power reserves to meet testing requirements in full.

EXAMPLES: Belt drives, winding units, work machines in an industrial environment, special centrifuges, marine propulsion systems, testing facilities, generators
