Norgren brings Bahr Modultechnik portfolio to North America

May 02, 2023

The Industrial Automation business unit of Norgren, a global leader in motion control technology, announces the introduction of a new portfolio of precision electric linear axes and cartesian systems to its North American markets.

The new portfolio is highly modular with the ability to customize from a selection of profiles, bearing styles and drive systems. It is ideal for multi-axis or cartesian-style systems but can also be utilized in single linear axis configurations. Key applications include but are not limited to warehouse automation, robotic palletizing, machine tending and various linear robot applications.

"With our history of designing and offering innovative actuation solutions for precise and efficient motion control, we are excited about the opportunity to offer the Bahr electric actuation product line to our North American customers," says Udayan Senapati, Norgren's VP/GM of Industrial Automation in the Americas. "This addition to our existing electric actuator portfolio aligns perfectly with our strategic goals to solve automation problems for our customers in a challenging labor and supply chain environment."

This announcement follows the acquisition of Bahr Modultechnik of Luhden, Germany, by IMI plc – of which Norgren is a subsidiary – in June of 2022. The addition significantly expands and further complements Norgren's current offering of rod-style and rodless electric actuators with applications such as material handling, pick and place, packaging, lifting, and more.
