About BEN Buchele
BEN Buchele Elektromotorenwerke GmbH manufactures custom electric motors at its headquarters in Nuremberg. The product range covers outputs from 0.25 to 1,300 kW in short-time operation, including special versions and bespoke designs for specific industries. The company supports customers with development know-how from design through to production and manufactures every motor at the Nuremberg site – from lot size 1 through small series to medium series. For small series, the winding is done by hand, while an automated winding system is available for larger quantities. A speciality is the supply of replacement motors, not only for its own motors but also for third-party products from other manufacturers, usually delivered within a few weeks. The drive solutions are used, among other things, in shipbuilding, the offshore sector, HVAC and air technology, transport engineering, heavy industry as well as general and special-purpose machinery construction, and are used worldwide in industrial applications.
