Dual-axis servodrive with functional safety is ‘the size of a matchbox’
21 November 2025 
Elmo Motion Control, the Israeli servodrive specialist owned by Bosch Rexroth, has developed a miniature dual-axis servodrive with functional safety that is the size of a matchbox. The Titanium Castanet drive is one of several new products that the company is launching at this month’s SPS show in Germany.
The Castanet, aimed at low-voltage DC applications, is based on a GaN (gallium nitride) power switching technology, and can deliver up to 15A at 100V, or 2.4kW of continuous power.
Another new member of the Titanium family is the Harmonica – a high-power-density, dual-axis, metal-enclosed servodrive with functional safety, designed to maximise power in an ultra-compact footprint. It incorporates a motion controller and local intelligence and can deliver up to 10A at 200V, and 5.6kW of continuous power per axis.
Elmo is also previewing additional Titanium servodrives, including next-generation single-axis modules, and a safety architecture designed for even more compact, efficient and intelligent motion control. These upcoming releases will extend the Titanium line further into new power density classes and application areas, promising machine-builders a future-proof path for continuous innovation.
Elmo claims that the new Titanium drives offer “a breakthrough level of multi-axis compactness, intelligence, and safety integration”. They have high-performance multicore processors and incorporate technologies designed to enhance performance, switching efficiency, thermal management, and network interfaces. They are aimed at the next generation of machinery.
Elmo is also extending its Platinum line with enhanced power switching and increased efficiency. The latest Platinum drives offer expanded capabilities for machine-builders wanting high power densities and reliability.
“At SPS 2025, we’re setting new benchmarks for servodrive power versus size,” says Elmo CEO, Ronen Boneh. “The new Titanium and Platinum product offerings, empower manufacturers to design smaller, operate smarter, and achieve higher levels of safety across more applications.”
