About STÖBER Antriebstechnik
STÖBER Antriebstechnik is a family-owned drive technology company founded in 1934 and headquartered in Pforzheim. The portfolio includes planetary gearboxes and bevel gear units, rack and pinion drives, servo motors and drive controllers, including accessories and software. The drive systems are modular in design and freely scalable, enabling compact and high-performance machine concepts to be implemented. Drawing on its roots in gearbox manufacturing, STÖBER combines high-precision planetary gearboxes directly with dynamic servo motors. Customers come from mechanical engineering, stamping automation, ID card manufacturing as well as stage and event technology, for example in the movement of grandstands with loads of up to 26 tons. In addition to its headquarters in Pforzheim, the company maintains branches and subsidiaries in Austria, the USA and China, among others, and supplies customers worldwide.
