Stabilus Introduces Customizable Electromechanical Spindle Drive
Industrial POWERISE IPR40 extends electromechanical actuation options with configurable force, stroke, and speed parameters for diverse automation applications.

Electromechanical actuators are increasingly replacing pneumatic and hydraulic systems in industrial automation where precise motion control and integration into digital control architectures are required. Stabilus has expanded its Industrial POWERISE portfolio with the IPR40, a configurable spindle drive designed for application-specific industrial actuation.
The new Industrial POWERISE IPR40 was introduced as part of a “Customized to Order” approach, enabling configuration from single-unit builds to series production.
From automotive platform to industrial motion systems
The IPR40 builds on Stabilus’ Industrial POWERISE technology, previously deployed in automotive tailgates and door systems. In transferring this platform to industrial environments, the company adapted the electromechanical spindle drive for broader use cases such as machine covers, access panels, ergonomic adjustment systems, and controlled positioning tasks in automated equipment.
The actuator is available with 12 V or 24 V supply voltage, allowing integration into common low-voltage industrial control systems. An IP67-rated version supports deployment in environments exposed to dust or water ingress.
Configurable mechanical output
Unlike fixed-specification actuators, the IPR40 can be configured in several performance parameters. Customers can define connection interfaces, output forces, stroke lengths, and travel speeds to match load requirements and motion profiles.
For applications involving higher moving masses, the drive can be combined with industrial gas springs from the Stabilus Group. This hybrid configuration enables load compensation, reducing motor effort and improving energy efficiency within the actuation system. Such combinations are relevant in automated enclosures or access systems where controlled opening and closing cycles must be repeatable over long service intervals.
The slim form factor supports integration into space-constrained assemblies while maintaining the mechanical robustness expected from spindle-based electromechanical drives.
Engineering integration and commissioning support
Implementation is supported by engineering services covering system design, configuration, and commissioning. Specialists from Stabilus and its affiliated brands ACE Stoßdämpfer GmbH and HAHN Gasfedern GmbH provide application-specific guidance, including parameterization of electronic control units (ECUs). On-site commissioning support is available when required.
This end-to-end approach is intended to simplify integration into automated machinery and equipment that form part of a broader digital supply chain, where consistent motion control and predictable performance are critical.
Customization strategy extended to wider actuator range
Following the launch of the IPR40, Stabilus indicated that the Customized to Order concept would be extended across its electromechanical drive portfolio. This includes the IPR35, IPR35 SMART, and IPR40 SMART models.
By enabling configurable electromechanical drives with defined voltage ranges, ingress protection ratings, and adjustable mechanical output, the IPR40 expands options for engineers designing scalable industrial actuation systems.
