German engineering traditions and Groschopp drive manufacturing in Viersen
The industrial history of Groschopp AG began in 1948 in Moenchengladbach-Rheydt under the company name EMW Elektro-Motoren-Feinbauwerk Groschopp & Co. GmbH. In 1954, corporate headquarters and manufacturing operations relocated to Viersen in North Rhine-Westphalia.
In 2000, the company transitioned to a public stock corporation under the name Groschopp AG -Drives & More-.
The engineering facility on Greefsallee 49 in Viersen conducts development and serial manufacturing of precision drive technologies under commercial register HRB 10445.
The executive management and technical departments continually engineer high-efficiency gearmotors, custom fractional motors, and integrated servo drive solutions for global machinery builders.
High-dynamic servo motors and closed-loop position control principles
Synchronous servo motors in the Groschopp Servo-Motors portfolio are designed for high-precision displacement in packaging machinery, automated tooling machines, and robotic arms.
The motors deliver rated output up to 2300 W and operating speeds reaching 9000 rpm, exhibiting exceptional continuous power density and dynamic peak torque capability.
A lightweight permanent magnet rotor delivers low rotational inertia and rapid acceleration during high-frequency motion duty cycles.
Integrated optical encoders and high-resolution resolvers continually transmit absolute angular shaft position to motion controllers, ensuring repeatable positioning accuracy across automated linear and rotary axes.
Energy-efficient brushless DC electric drive motors series BLDC
Brushless direct current motors in the Groschopp BLDC series unite the linear modulation benefits of DC technology with the high reliability of contact-free machinery.
The absence of mechanical commutator segments and sliding carbon brushes eliminates electrical sparking, lowers radio interference, and extends overall machinery maintenance intervals.
Electronic commutation of the stator coils guided by internal Hall effect sensors delivers smooth starting performance and torque stability at low rotational velocities.
Operating on 24 V and 48 V DC power buses, BLDC drive motors serve automated mobile platforms, precise conveyor sections, and specialized healthcare engineering equipment.
Three-phase AC induction motors series AC-Motors in continuous operation
Alternating current induction motors in the Groschopp AC-Motors family are engineered for uninterrupted operation in heavy-duty plant environments.
Units producing up to 1650 W connect directly to three-phase 230 V and 400 V electrical grids using flexible star or delta winding wiring topologies to match local distribution parameters.
A rigid finned aluminum alloy motor housing conducts thermal heat away during continuous production cycles, preserving stator winding electrical insulation.
Standardized mounting interfaces facilitate direct mechanical coupling of AC induction motors to the broad portfolio of Groschopp planetary and worm gear speed reducers.
Modular planetary, worm, and spur gear reducer technologies
The industrial gearbox program of Groschopp encompasses PLZ planetary reducers, S series worm gearheads, and Vario and Z series inline spur gear units.
The gearhead portfolio transmits continuous torque up to 500 Nm across reduction gear ratios reaching 1500:1, providing compact speed reduction for diverse mechanical automation machinery.
Planetary PLZ stages achieve high transmission efficiency up to 94 percent while absorbing elevated radial shaft loads.
The S series right-angle worm units generate whisper-quiet operation and feature kinematic self-holding characteristics that prevent unwanted back-driving in lifting mechanisms, valve actuators, and conveyor systems.
Decentralized digital servo drive controllers series RBD architecture
