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

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 ...

As machine builders push for higher throughput, tighter control accuracy, and smaller footprints, the selection of servo ...

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 ...

Robotics is evolving fast—faster payload requirements, tighter energy budgets, smaller footprints, and higher expectations ...

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 ...

The BG65x75/SG80 intelligent brushless servo motors feature available high-torque and high-efficiency Wormetary gearing. The worm and planetary gear combination target solar, medical, and motion ...

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 ...

The importance of high torque to meet power-density requirements in robotics. The expanding role of spindle motors. NASA's CADRE robotics program. The three most critical aspects for motors used in ...
