Advantages of our hollow shaft actuators

Flexibility

Cables, media, or shafts can be routed through the actuator. Additional components such as encoders can be integrated.

Compactness

No additional interfaces are required, enabling space-saving designs.

Efficiency

The usable hollow shaft enables cost reduction in the axle design.

With WITTENSTEIN actuators and their exceptionally large hollow shafts, axis concepts can be completely reimagined—more precise, compact, and efficient than ever before.

Hollow shaft actuators for maximum precision and freedom

Our Galaxie® actuators enable superior drive shafts thanks to their unique characteristics.

More space

The hollow shaft provides space for cables, media, and additional shafts, creating valuable installation space.

Maximum precision

Absolute zero backlash in the gear kinematics of Galaxie® actuators enables maximum precision.

Fewer interfaces

The direct integration of the hollow shaft gearbox into the performance motor eliminates additional assembly work, saving time, space, and costs.

Greater productivity

Achieve maximum torque density for higher machine performance and increased efficiency.

Hollow shaft actuator from WITTENSTEIN ­ precision, integration and maximum design freedom

WITTENSTEIN hollow shaft actuators combine high precision with maximum integration. The exceptionally large hollow shaft allows cables, media or shafts to be fed through directly – ideal for modern machine designs where installation space, efficiency and flexibility are crucial.

Thanks to the unique zero-backlash kinematics of the integrated Galaxie® gearbox, positioning accuracy remains constant over the entire service life – without any readjustment. As a hollow shaft motor with gearbox, they reduce interfaces and save installation time. In addition, downsizing of peripherals such as cable and converters, as well as a reduction in the required cooling capacity, lower both TCI (Total Cost of Investment) and TCO (Total Cost of Ownership).

Your advantages at a glance:

  • More space: Room for cables, media, and additional shafts.
  • High precision: Lifetime zero backlash for maximum accuracy.
  • Fewer interfaces: Compact integration saves time and costs.
  • More productivity: Highest torque density for maximum performance.
