Miniature and microgearing with high precision and tight tolerances is used to deliver accurate low-backlash power transmission complementing small electric motors in: • Medical devices and surgical tools • Aerospace rovers and satellites • Small motorized electronics. Such gearing is most often paired with small dc motors that is either brushed or brushless — with […]
Frameless motors versus torque motors
Frameless motors are rotor-and-stator subcomponent sets that aren’t prefixed in a traditional motor housing. Here we outline some of their benefits … along with those of torque motors. By Lisa Eitel | Executive editor Frameless motors don’t include a motor housing or output shaft (or shaft-support bearings) either. Instead, the OEM or design engineer works […]
