Stöber Antriebstechnik and ATB Automation

Stöber Antriebstechnik GmbH & Co KG established in 1934 and with headquarters in Pforzheim. Recent decades Stober specializes in the development and manufacture of precision gears, servo drives and controllers. Stober is an important partner and supplier of ATB Automation since 1954. ATB Automation is a certified TOP dealer and responsible for the customers in the Benelux.

Stöber Antriebstechnik of today

Stöber Antriebstechnik is a family business founded in 1934. From te beginning large and familiar with manually adjustable speed drives and grown to a specialist in the field of high-precision and dynamic servo systems.
At the moment, the strategic direction is determined by the third generation Andreas Thiel (left) and Patrick Stöber (right). Since 2023, they have handed over day-to-day management to Managing Director Rainer Wegener (middle), who has been with Stöber Antriebstechnik since 2001.

  • Number of employees:> 1000
  • Turnover:> € 160 million
  • Production Area: 40,000 m²

Production with highest precision

Quality from home" is the motto of Stöber.

The park machines includes renowned brands such as Gleason, Gildemeister, Reishauer and Studer.

The housings of the gearboxes are machined from a single piece with a minimum number of fixtures. This results in the most accurate alignment and a maximum torsional stiffness.

All gear teeth such as the right-angle bevel gears, pinions, planet and sun gears, as well as the internal toothing in the housing of the planetary gears, have an helical toothing.

The teeth of precision planetary gearboxes have an extra honing operation. Honing is a chipping precision machining by grinding of the teeth in the axial direction.

This production results in gearboxes suitable for precise and dynamic servo applications:

  • low tooth backlash (< 1 arcmin)
  • high concentricity
  • high torsional stiffness
  • low noise
  • high efficiency and thereby lifetime lubricated

Best series servo gear units

  • Best specifications with many benefits through the bevel gear and production.
  • Widest range of gearboxes: from planetary, perpendicular to the very economical coaxial gearboxes.
  • The many constructive possibilities.
  • Easy assembly.
  • Optional with brake (ServoStop)

Easy mounting servomotors

  • All Stober gearboxes are fitted with an adapter and backlash-free clamp coupling for mounting many brands servomotors.
  • The mounting adapter has a fit. This allows the actuator can also be mounted horizontally; very practical for the replacement of the servomotor in the field.
  • The clamping coupling has a spread pin making it very easy to clamp with one bolt or spreading during disassembly.

Planetary gearboxes

  • Wide range of a cost-effective up to a high-precision gears with a backlash of less than 1 arc minute.
  • Versions with output shaft or flange block shaft.
  • Angled versions with helical bevel gears.


Bevel gearboxes
In addition to planetary gears with angular stages there are precise angle helical bevelgearboxes and helical worm gearboxes available. These gears gives an engineer many cost-effective solutions with the design and construction.

  • Solid shaft with keyway.
  • Double output solid shaft with keyway.
  • Hollow shaft with keyway and lubricate groove for easy disassembly, with optional cover.
  • Hollow shaft with backlash-free shrink disk, optional with cover.

Stober EZ servo motors

Compact and dynamic servo motors

Synchronous servomotors with permanent magnets. Optimal design, like the stator with orthocyclic coil.

  • Compact / short in length - high power density
  • Low inertia - high dynamics
  • low cogging
  • High efficiency (> IE4)

Available with single or multi-turn EnDat 2.2 or Hyperface encoders with electronic nameplate for the Stober inverters.

With optional encoders, adjustment and connectors for third-party drives, among others, Siemens, Bosch Rexroth, SEW, B & R and Beckhoff.

Lean motors: the alternative between three-phase motors and servomotors

Is an asynchronous motor too big and not efficient enough for you? Or are you looking for an inexpensive and rugged alternative to the synchronous servo motor? Based on the "bridge the gap" principle, STOBER has brought a new motor class to market.

The consistently encoderless Lean motors are strong and rugged like asynchronous drives and precise and compact like synchronous servo motors. For example, the motors can be used for automation tasks in harsh production environments.

Most compact geared servo motors on the market

The Stober geared servo motors are built from the broad range of planetary gear and helical-bevel gear units combined with the compact servo motors.
The servo motor is assembled directly without adapter and coupling.

This construction without adapter and coupling has many advantages:

  • Compact
  • Low weight
  • Dynamic by lower inertia
  • high rigidity
  • Less friction by expiry of additional bearing and seal
  • lower cost

Stand alone and multi axis servo drive controllers

The Stober servo drives from the 6th generation with a servo cycle time of 62.5 ns and 25-bit encoder resolution are ideal for highly dynamic and accurate applications.

Control by  the CiA402 (Can in Automation) protocol:

  • Drive Based: EtherCAT or Profinet with a PLC
  • Control Based: EtherCAT with one Motion Controller (eg CoDeSys, TwinCAT)

In addition, the SD6 drive controller is also suitable for positioning control with a Stober protocol via EtherCAT, Profinet or analog / digital inputs and outputs.

Stober safety

Integrated safety technology

Safety functions according to EN 61800-5-2. with safety level SIL3 / PLe (Cat. 4) according to EN ISO 13849-1 integrated in the Stöber controllers.

Communication:

  • Fail Safe over EtherCAT (FSoE)
  • Profisafe
  • Hardware wiring

Various configurable safety functions:

  • Safe Torque Off (STO)
  • 2 Safe Stop functions (SS1, SS2)
  • 6 Safe Movement functions (SDI, SLI, SLS, SOS, SSR, SLP)
  • 6 Monitoring functions (SDI,SLI, SLS, SOS, SSR, SLP)
  • 3 Safe Brake functions (SBC1, SBC2, SBT)
  • Safe Restart Lock (SRL)
  • Safe Status Output (SSO)

Rack and pinion drives for robots, handling and tooling machines

  • Servo gearboxes equiped with directly mounted pinions in combination with racks.
  • Optional with mounting adapters and lubrication systems.

Accurate basic versions:

  • Helical bevel gearboxes and planetary gearboxes with output shaft with a assembled pinion with module 2, 3 or 4.
  • Suitable for robots and handling systems
  • Combined with precise planetary gearboxes for machines such as plasma cutting machines.

High performance servo gear unit with support bearing:

  • Planetary gears with flange shaft and pinion with module 2 - 10
  • Additional support bearing in one design and one housing so that large forces are absorbed and many other advantages arise.
  • Designed for high-precision machine tools.
