Smallest integrated stepper motor
With a flange size of 28 mm, the PD1 is Nanotec’s smallest smart servo – controller and encoder are integrated. There are three versions to choose from: IP20, IP65 and a variant with open housing.
Short compact wheel drive
The WD42 wheel drive is a super-compact drive unit that consists of a wheel, gearbox, brushless DC motor and encoder. Four reductions are available, wheel diameters range from 75 to 140 mm.
Small plug-in motor controllers
The controllers of the CPB series are ideal for integration into customer applications and custom boards. Three variants with a rated power of 150 W, 300 W and 750 W are available.
Hollow rotary tables
Hollow rotary tables offer high positioning accuracy and excellent runout characteristics. Combined with a stepper motor, they are ideal for use with positioning tables or grippers.
GP80 planetary gearboxes
High-torque planetary gearboxes with straight-cut and hardened gears. The GP80 gearboxes come in one- and two-stage versions and with four different reduction ratios.
BLCD actuator for precise positioning
The LBA60 short-stroke actuator is equipped with a ball screw and reaches a top speed of 292 mm/s. The integrated encoder provides accurate position information.
Powerful smart servos
Nanotec’s intelligent compact drives combine motor, controller and encoder in a space-saving package. Both the BLDC and the stepper motor offer a wide range of fieldbus options.
Compact magnetic encoder
The NME3 encoder is especially designed for speed control applications. It is available in a version for incremental signals as well as with an SSI interface.
Brakes BCD
These spring-loaded brakes keep the motor in position when power is disengaged. They are ideal for use in vertical applications, conveyor belts or medical devices.
Flat motor with encoder
With its 45 mm diameter, integrated encoder and 4,840 rpm rated speed, the DF45-E is ideal for positioning tasks in tight installation spaces. It is easy to control via digital Hall sensors.
Linear actuator with drive
The PSA56 combines the LSA56 linear actuator with the intelligent drive of the PD4-E motor. The integrated encoder supports field-oriented control via CANopen.
Low-noise gearbox
The GP42-N low-noise gearbox is designed for BLDC and stepper motors with NEMA 17 flange and the DF45 external rotor motors. They come in a single- and a two-stage version with seven gear ratios.
External linear actuator with 14 mm flange
With its compact design, 3.5 mm thread diameter and 15 N maximum force, the LSA14 is ideal for medical applications, laboratory automation and optical technology.
Robust multiturn encoder
Equipped with an SSI interface, the NMM1 magnetic absolute encoder offers a resolution of 17 bits single-turn and 16 bits multi-turn. Two shaft diameters are available.
Wheel drives for service robots
The WD wheel drives consist of a wheel, integrated planetary gearbox and bearing in one unit. Combined with Nanotec’s motors and controllers, they are ideal for use in service robots or AGVs.
Compact EtherCAT drive
The CM-CPB3-44 drive is designed to control four BLDC or stepper motors with up to 150 watts per axis. Hall sensors, incremental or SSI encoders provide feedback on the motor position.
Easy software integration
The software library NanoLib facilitates the integration of Nanotec’s motor controllers/drives into existing software applications. It supports C++, C# and Python and communication via fieldbus.
Captive linear actuator with 56 mm flange
Due to its optimized design the LGA56 linear actuator reaches speeds of up to 150 mm/s. Nanotec offers a number of thread types, stroke lengths and thread leads to choose from.
For I/O-based applications
With the CSL3, Nanotec now offers an easy-to-configure controller with 16 motion profiles for brushless DC motors with up to 72 W rated power and 3 A rated current.
New PD4-E/EB with brake
The PD4-E/EB brushless DC motors with integrated controller are now available in a version with integrated holding brake. They are ideally suited for use in Z axes and robotics applications.

Six-axis robot with articulated arm
Support for the Technical University of Munich: Nanotec supplied several external rotor motors for an articulated arm robot, which are controlled by a CL4-E controller and addressed via CANopen.
How do you commission the motor controllers from Nanotec with the help of the Plug & Drive Studio? The tutorial shows how to practically perform the auto setup step-by-step.
Captive linear actuators – how they work
The integrated linear guide is the main characteristic of captive linear actuators. The lead screw travels back and force in a linear motion as our video shows. Just watch.
Non-captive linear actuators – design
Linear actuators without linear guide need an external guide to prevent the lead screw from rotating. Watch our video to learn more about the motion of the rotor and the lead screw.
External linear actuators – how they work
The threaded nut traverses back and force on the lead screw and is secured against rotating by an external guide. Play our video for more details.
Awarded for innovation!
In January 2024, Nanotec received the TOP 100 award for the third time. This award honors especially innovative small- and medium-sized enterprises.
On behalf of compamedia – the organizer of the TOP 100 innovation competition – scientist Prof. Dr. Nikolaus Franke from the Vienna University of Economics and Business and his team examined the innovative capacity of small- and medium-sized enterprises in Germany. Not only was the innovative output measured but also the innovative potential of the participants.
In this scientifically independent benchmarking competition, Nanotec convinced in the area of "Outward looking/Open innovation" in its size class, placing it among the top innovators in Germany.
