Versatile All-Round Drive for Diverse Continuous Motion Requirements

Parker Hannifin has opened the Parker Motion Systems Experience Center in Offenburg, Germany on 15th September 2026, giving customers and channel partners a single location to test, compare and specify motion system technologies for mobile and industrial applications.

With the next generation of Sinamics G drives, Siemens introduces a unified drive portfolio for continuous-motion applications. It comprises the new Sinamics G200, G210C, G210 and G210X as well as the Sinamics G220, first introduced in 2023, and offers a consistent approach to engineering and operation.

The Sinamics G210X is a new frequency converter for advanced pump, fan, and compressor applications, combining easy engineering with a robust design.

Siemens has appointed Markus Grabmeier as the new Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of its Electrical Products (EP) Business Unit at Smart Infrastructure, effective June 1, 2026. He succeeds Andreas Matthé, who will remain available in an advisory capacity until his transition into retirement at the end of September 2026.

Siemens AG closed its acquisition of ebm-papst’s industrial drive technology business. In the future, it will be marketed using the name “Mechatronic Systems” at Siemens.

Siemens now also offers its Sitrans MS200 multisensor for hazardous areas. The intrinsically safe sensor is designed for wireless condition monitoring in Ex Zone 1 applications (ATEX/IECEx) and measures vibration, temperature and magnetic fields on pumps, motors, agitators and other rotating equipment.
