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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
