SEW-EURODRIVE GmbH & Co KG
About us
SEW-EURODRIVE, with 18 manufacturing plants and 92 assembly plants in 57 countries, is one of the international market leaders in drive technology and automation. The owner-managed family business was founded in Bruchsal, Germany, in 1931. With approximately 22,700 employees in 57 countries, it generates over €4.2 billion in revenue (fiscal year 2024). SEW-EURODRIVE supplies products and solutions for the entire value chain and powers countless machines and systems across numerous industries. Its product range extends from motors, gearboxes, and drive electronics to life cycle services and machine and factory automation. The appropriate components are assembled from modular systems. In addition, customers can choose from pre-configured StarterSET, MAXOLUTION® systems, or custom-tailored subsystems. These are drive solutions developed in collaboration with the customer, based on the comprehensive modular system but with a greater engineering component.

The four components are: - Engineering software - Control technology - Central and decentralized inverter technology and - Drive technology and - Power and energy solutions Together, these components form one complete, end-to-end modular automation system made up of devices and field units that you can combine to suit your requirements and bus topology perfectly.
Power and Energy Solutions
Power and Energy Solutions It is the goal of any company to increase its energy efficiency and take appropriate measures to reduce the energy consumption of its automation systems without affecting the high degree of availability of processes, production, and machine cells. Ideally, intelligent management of power supply output and energy will increase the availability of systems and machines. Moving towards the modular factory Increasing customer and market demands are changing the layout of factories, resulting in more modules, more flexibility, more automation and fewer rigid structures. This means that automation technology and energy management must also take account of these developments with new technologies. When it comes to power supply, we offer you the perfect power supply and energy management system for your Industry 4.0 production line. This enables you to take the measures necessary to make better use of energy in your production operations. At the same time, the energy management system must ensure full transparency and detailed monitoring of power supply data and consumption data.
Stainless steel servo gearmotors from the PSH..CM2H.. series
Drives with the CM2H.. stainless steel servomotors have been specially designed for use in applications in the food industry, beverage production, and pharmaceutical industry. These are three industries with extremely high hygiene and cleanability requirements. Whether for aseptic filling systems for milk products or beverages, cutting machines for sausage or cheese, or filleting machines for fish or meat: SEW-EURODRIVE represents top-notch flexibility, longevity, and reliability. No edges and corners: Your solution for the highest hygiene standards Our stainless steel servo gearmotors from the PSH..CM2H.. series with a hygienic design meet the strict guidelines of the European Hygienic Engineering Design Group (EHEDG) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration With a roughness below 0.8 µm and radii greater than 3 mm, the servo drives' housings have an exceptionally smooth surface and neither have rough edges nor any horizontal surfaces. Due to this high demand for longevity and easy cleanability, the compact units consisting of the synchronous servomotor and planetary gear unit are resistant against hot steam and corrosive cleaning agents As a result, they are perfectly suited for clean-in-place (CPI) and sterilization-in-place (SIP) processes. With the intention of making them quickly and easily cleanable, the stainless steel servo gearmotors were developed to withstand high-pressure cleaning, even at high temperatures and with chemical cleaning agents. The drives reach a degree of protection of IP69K.
