Drive Systems around DC motors
Developer and supplier of complete electric drive systems
Motors move everything and provide driving forces - machines and production lines in manufacturing, equipment and devices at office workplaces, diverse facilities in medical technology and, of course, more and more devices and furnishings in the home. More and more automation is required for both convenience and security. In everything that turns and moves, there is electrical drive technology with a DC motor as the centerpiece. This converts electrical power into mechanical power. The simple yet driving functional principle of an electric motor is based on the magnetic effect of the electric current.
Electric drive technology is our expertise
As experienced system developer and supplier, we integrate and modify motors, gears, controls and additional assembly groups towards custom-tailored electric drive systems. This widely spread, modular product offer enables us to find customized solutions for almost any application requirement. This capability is well appreciated by our industrial customers in medical and rehab engineering, in mechanical and plant engineering as well as in tool making.
What is the best DC motor choice?
There is no general answer to this, because it always depends on the application. Frequent load changes such as with locking systems versus continuous operation with fans or windshield wipers or high speeds? A BLDC motor is often recommended for the mechatronics degree because it is more wear-free and has a longer service life than a brushed DC motor. Basically not wrong, but when the purchasing department looks at the procurement costs, it often comes down to the structurally simple worm gear motor, which thanks to its sliding friction and self-locking actually holds what it is supposed to hold in position without additional brakes. But that does not always apply either, so let's discuss your application in detail before deciding on a motor type. That can save unnecessary costs.
Diversity for electric motors and drive components

Drive components
For decades, DC motors and DC drive systems are best practice in daily usage and manifold applications. Due to their robustness and high reliability, such motors are essential in the automation technologies. Additionally, they build the platform for economically interesting solutions.

Modified Motors
Electric drive systems for any application
JBW’s strength is determined in the engineering of individual electric drive systems, where a motor, gear, encoder, control, brakes, etc. have to be optimally synchronized.
Our best example is the intelligent motor for diverse applications: A worm gear motor with high-resolution encoder and an integrated drive/position regulator. This DC motor provides several benefits:
- Reduced susceptance to failure because of almost no wiring efforts
- Online monitoring of all motor-relevant states, e.g. rotating direction, charging rate, position
- Digital/analog input/output of the regulation program as well as of the interfaces can be acquired and modified. By this, additional sensors/actuators can be directly adapted to a motor environment
- Digital input is programmable for the operation via a sensing device or a simple PLC connection
- Central control via the CANopen / Profibus-DP interfaces
- Connection with commercially obtainable plugs
We invest a lot to stay a strong partner for drive systems
