To successfully follow a velocity profile, a motor and drive combination must generate enough torque to: accelerate the load inertia at the desired rates, and drive the load torque at the desired ...

Most known for their versatility, electric motors have revolutionised the way we view the core definition of power, qualifying it as effective energy expenditure concerning work done over time. Among ...

Skid-steer-loader designers used to be restricted to cam lobe motors for propulsion because of the requirement for high torque, among other considerations. Now, one vendor has introduced an orbital ...

Advances in motor design have allowed different types of robots to both specialize for industrial functions and converge in precision.

Using the company’s patented Squiggle micro-motor technology, two new rotary piezoelectric motors are optimized for high torque and precision. The SQR-2.4 measures 2.4 by 2.4 mm, has a 0.10° ...

Step motors provide accurate position control without the need for feedback, traditionally in open-loop control schemes. A stepper motor’s shaft normally makes discrete angular movements of ...

When high torque, a tight design, and always-reliable gear motors are required, worm gear motors rise to the top. Such systems are effective in many cases, such as a worm gear motor for robotics and a ...

A robotic manipulator is programmable on three or more axes that specify the movements of a robot, either the robotic arms or body. These robotic manipulators are automatically controlled and ...

When you hear the term continuous torque, you may not realize just how crucial a role it plays in keeping operations running smoothly, creating a steady and reliable force for seamless operation of ...

A synchronous and synchronous motors are the two main categories of ac motors. The induction motor is a common form of asynchronous motor and is basically an ac transformer with a rotating secondary.
