Gearheads rarely make headlines, but FAULHABER’s new GPT family deserves a moment in the spotlight. Unveiled on February 12, 2026 and now available as of today, the lineup bolts onto motors in FAULHABER’s standard range and squeezes more performance out of a compact, robust package. The family splits into two distinct personalities: LN models built for silence, and HT models built for muscle.
Start with the quiet pair. The 22GPT LN and 32GPT LN shave up to 10 dB off the noise floor compared with the standard version — a meaningful drop in any environment where acoustics matter, from lab automation to medical devices. They don’t trade away grunt to get there, either. The 22GPT LN delivers up to 2.2 Nm of intermittent torque with peaks reaching 4 Nm, while the larger 32GPT LN steps up to 8 Nm intermittent and as much as 12 Nm at peak.
The HT variants take the opposite tack and chase raw output. The 22GPT HT pushes peak torque up to 14 Nm and intermittent torque up to 5 Nm, while the 32GPT HT climbs to 18 Nm peak and 10 Nm intermittent. To get there, the HT models stack three or four gear stages and offer a wide range of reduction ratios, giving designers room to dial in exactly the torque-versus-speed balance an application demands.
Both branches of the family are built to survive harsh duty. Each gearhead wears a stainless-steel housing, a choice that pays off in corrosive or hygienically demanding settings. Temperature tolerance is generous as well: the LN models are rated from –30 °C to +110 °C, and the HT models extend that ceiling slightly to –30 °C to +120 °C. That headroom suits everything from cold-chain robotics to high-heat industrial machinery.
What ties the range together is its compatibility. Because the GPT gearheads mate with FAULHABER’s existing standard motors, engineers can upgrade performance — whether that means cutting noise or boosting torque — without redesigning the drivetrain around an unfamiliar component. That’s the kind of practical flexibility that matters far more than spec-sheet bravado when a product has to ship.
- 22GPT LN: up to 2.2 Nm intermittent, 4 Nm peak; noise cut up to 10 dB
- 32GPT LN: up to 8 Nm intermittent, 12 Nm peak; noise cut up to 10 dB
- 22GPT HT: up to 5 Nm intermittent, 14 Nm peak
- 32GPT HT: up to 10 Nm intermittent, 18 Nm peak
In short, FAULHABER has split the difference rather than forcing a compromise: pick the LN line when silence is the priority, or the HT line when you need to move serious load. Either way, the stainless-steel build and wide thermal range mean these gearheads should keep working long after the spec sheet has been filed away.
