Notes on this data
Faulhaber lists 'torque up to' per series without saying whether it is continuous or peak; stored as torque_Nm_rated_max (converted from mNm). Continuous output up to 62 W (3268 BX4). Suffix meanings (SC, IMC, ET, RS/CO) not defined on page; interface mapping inferred from names.

Typical applications
Alternatives that meet or exceed these figures
Engineers often come to us with a FAULHABER part number and leave with an alternative that is easier to source, quicker to deliver or a better fit for the machine. These 3 series from our supply network are the closest match on published figures.
A single 110 mm, 1.2 kW, 48 VDC servo motor giving 4 Nm at 3000 rpm for higher-power low-voltage systems, paired with Kinco FD1 and OD drives.

Figures are the highest published for each series and are not always measured the same way. A higher figure is not automatically a better choice: mounting, duty cycle, feedback, connectors and approvals matter too. An engineer will check the fit against your application before recommending anything.
