Small and speedy wins the race

July 6, 2023 By Rachael Pasini Leave a Comment

A warehouse with mobile robots and human workers moving items and carts.

Fast-paced warehouse operations demand extensive automation, which is inconceivable without micromotors. Faulhaber weighs in on intralogistics robots and how drive system capabilities influence their design. Modern intralogistics technologies place high demands on drive systems. In many instances, drives must release tremendous force in confined spaces and perform precise positioning tasks in continuous or stop-and-go operations. […]

Leading motion-control and actuation options for robotics

June 16, 2022 By Lisa Eitel Leave a Comment

Advanced robotics for industrial and consumer applications demand sophisticated power-dense motion components for joints and linkages that must run smoothly, often at high torque and relatively low speed. The challenge is compounded when the robotic application must also make precise moves. At the core of most leading robotic-actuator options are electric motors. That’s because motor-driven designs […]
