A report analysing a decade of data for over 1,000 large motors and generators delivered globally by ABB’s Västerås facility in Sweden shows that not aiming for the highest efficiency could be costing global operators up to $12 billion over a 25-year asset life. To mark the release of the report, we spoke with Gunnar Porsby, R&D Manager, High-Speed Synchronous Machines, ABB and David Bjerhag, Global Business Line Manager, High Speed Synchronous Motors, Generators and Condensers within ABB Motion’s High Power division.

An independent jury comprising top-class experts from political and business communities, research, and the media, chaired by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Holger Hanselka, President of the Fraunhofer Society, has nominated three companies selected from the numerous submissions for the HERMES AWARD. The winner will be announced at the official opening ceremony of HANNOVER MESSE on April 19, 2026. The Federal Minister of Research, Technology and Space, Dorothee Bär, will present the award.
Integrated module offers comprehensive safety functions up to SIL 3 level
Highly efficient drives for reduce energy and resource consumption
Exclusive software partnership for optimized motor sizing
Valuable energy is lost in pressure reduction stations, exhaust steam pipes and condensation systems. With Energify system, the company CFT GmbH offers a simple and robust solution for the cost-effective conversion of even slight pressure differences into energy. This saves electricity costs and lowers CO₂ emissions. The system performance is controlled precisely with sliding gate valves from Schubert & Salzer.
October marks the 50th year since ABB’s Low Voltage Variable Speed Drive was first brought to market. Developed by Finnish company Strömberg, which went on to become part of ABB, VSD have revolutionized industrial energy consumption and decarbonization
Flexible, modular workpiece transport can bring valuable extra speed to automated assembly with free pallets. Scalability is also enhanced, while built-in tracking provides traceability data to meet the requirements of demanding industries such as automotive.
Drive-integrated protection function for maximum availability
High-performance with low noise and advanced communication capabilities
The main goal of this cooperation is to develop a future ready gearmotors based on ultra-high efficiency EM-A series motors. By combining effort together with Tramec, Mitsubishi Electric is expanding its product range with components for customers seeking high-end drive solutions and improved energy efficiency.
Integrated solution saves up to 40 % length
The supply of a 3,000 hp frequency inverter for large shredder plant at S. Norton Group in Manchester helps with significant reduction in energy consumption
Forced-air cooled supply for medical and industrial applications
Variable frequency drives available as one and two axis modules
Rubber abrasion on airport runways must be removed quickly and thoroughly. Together, tl traffic-lines GmbH and Maschinenbau Cernota GmbH & Co. KG have developed a cleaning process that is much more efficient than previous methods. High-precision rack and pinion gears from LEANTECHNIK play an important role in this process.
Premium motors go beyond state-of-the-art energy efficiency to deliver a combination of performance, reliability and commitment to sustainability tailored to suit a wide range of industrial operations. The latest addition to the portfolio is the world’s first magnet-free motor to reach the anticipated IE6 hyper-efficiency level.
Fully synchronous 16-channel data acquisition
The IE5+ permanent synchronous motor from NORD DRIVESYSTEMS not only provides high-efficiency operation which saves energy and CO2 emissions. It also impresses with its material efficiency and requires a comparatively small number of critical metals.
For flexible backups in the energy transition
Siemens presents innovations for greater efficiency and sustainability from design to condition monitoring at Hannover Messe
Today, every large event includes an elaborate laser show. Laser projections are used at trade fairs, in advertising, art, and at architectural events. The magically glowing light patterns are made possible by highly complex technology, and at many of the most spectacular installations this technology is provided by Berlinbased LaserAnimation Sollinger. When it comes to the alignment of beams and the creation of effects, motors from FAULHABER play an important role for their laser projectors.
LEWA, a manufacturer of metering pumps and systems, relies on IE5+ motors from NORD DRIVESYSTEMS for high precision applications. They combine a wide control range with outstanding energy efficiency.
Industry-optimised drive concepts with low weight and compact dimensions
To address market demands and deliver value-adding products to its customers, Lika Electronic chose to develop new encoders compatible with network technologies from the CC-Link Partner Association (CLPA).
Increasing productivity with drive intelligence
A commitment to providing customers with compressed air at low life cycle costs
SynRM and drive technology present an opportunity to vastly reduce industrial energy consumption
Enhanced modularity concept & specific “low noise” gear design
Overload protection with integrated bearing
Polywell announces the SwapPC based on the successful Open Pluggable Specification (OPS), created back in 2010 by Intel Corporation to simplify the installation, use, maintenance, and upgrade of digital signage (Digital Signage) infrastructure.
ABB is providing a package of metals industry-specific digital-ready solutions, including drives, controller and converter infrastructure, to enable Global Steel Wire (GSW) to modernize operations at its Santander steel mill.
Combines NFC and IO-Link in a standard housing
The company was previously known as Philips Mechatronics before being renamed to Precision Motor Technology (Premotec), until its acquisition by Allied Motion Technologies, Inc.
Recab UK is set to support embedded computing projects in the rail, automotive, aerospace and marine transport markets with a new ultra-rugged COM from congatec.
Matched with a variable speed drive (VSD), a synchronous reluctance (SynRM) motor with an IE5 ultra-premium efficiency rating provides an effective combination that will help industrial companies achieve their sustainability goals.
