SEW-EURODRIVE will use the SPS trade fair in Nuremberg on 24–26 November 2026 to show an expanded drive and automation portfolio centred on engineering, energy and software management, and cyber security, complemented by new motors and gear units and further developments of its MOVI-C modular automation system. The details come from the company’s trade fair announcement of 30 October 2026.
Preparing for the Machinery Regulation and the CRA
With the EU Machinery Regulation and the Cyber Resilience Act in mind, SEW-EURODRIVE is adding user management, logging, secure updates and secure communication functions to MOVI-C. The web-based OrchestrationSuite adds manufacturer-independent software management, CI/CD pipelines, secure remote access and AI-assisted functions for PLC code, documentation and software analysis. MOVIRUN smart simplifies commissioning of MOVI-C systems without programming in an IEC editor, enabling fast configuration of a MOVI-C controller including the connected inverters.
Its Power and Energy Solutions store braking energy and reuse it in subsequent process cycles. According to the company, this reduces the connected load and energy demand of drive systems, so control cabinets and electrical infrastructure can be dimensioned smaller.
Decentralised drive technology
New decentralised drive solutions are also on the stand. MOVIDYN supports modular, scalable concepts that need less control cabinet space and wiring. The MOVIDYN performance drive unit with integrated power electronics and the MOVIDYN flexible decentralised servo amplifier for installation close to the motor both use the MOVI-C infrastructure and engineering environment. MOVIONE, designed specifically for roller, belt and chain conveyors, can be used as a compact drive unit or as a decentralised inverter, for example in combination with high-efficiency DR2C.. motors.
Motors, electric cylinders and gear units
The new explosion-proof ECM3C.. servo motors combine high dynamics and precision with ATEX and IECEx conformity, in four frame sizes for hazardous areas. New variants of the compact LM3S.. electric cylinders are available for precise linear motion; an open motor interface widens the range of uses, while additional spindle leads and an oil-lubricated version allow higher speeds and improve ease of maintenance.
On the mechanical side, the PxG economy servo planetary gear units extend the portfolio for handling, packaging and pick-and-place applications; their modular system covers different load requirements and can be combined with standard servo motors. PxG integrated combines gear unit and servo motor in one compact unit for highly dynamic applications with limited installation space.
