Low-profile kit-style limited angle torque motor

July 19, 2021 By Danielle Collins Leave a Comment

The TMR-075-16-001-2 limited angle torque motor utilizes a toroidally wound, stationary coil assembly with a two-pole permanent magnet rotor to generate torque. The rare earth permanent magnet rotor always has an even number of poles, with two to six poles. The maximum angular excursion with a two-pole rotor is 180º, but the torque will drop […]

SDP/SI adds integrated motors to simplify motion system design

July 14, 2021 By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

integrated motor

Stock Drive Products/Sterling Instrument (SDP/SI) has launched a series of Integrated Motors to simplify motion system design. Replacing multiple components with a compact all-in-one motor and electronics package, Integrated Motors simplify motion system design while providing many advantages. “Doing speed, position and torque closed-loop control with separate brushless motor and driver/controller technologies can be challenging,” […]

How to calculate continuous and peak torque values for servo applications

July 12, 2021 By Danielle Collins Leave a Comment

One of the most important tools for sizing a servo motor is the motor’s torque-speed curve, which shows the combinations of torque and speed that the motor can produce in two operating zones — continuous operation and peak, or intermittent, operation. To prevent thermal overload of the motor — and the drive — it’s important to […]

What is a direct drive in the context of motion applications?

June 26, 2021 By Danielle Collins Leave a Comment

direct drive

In the most common motor-driven systems, the motor is coupled to the load being moved by a mechanical transmission element — a belt, chain, rack and pinion, ball or lead screw, or even simply a gearbox. But some linear and rotary motion systems do away with mechanical transmission elements and couple the load directly to […]

Successful lab experiments start with the right pipette motor

June 15, 2021 By Miles Budimir Leave a Comment

For medical lab applications, motor selection is integral to an electronic pipette’s accuracy and precision. Valentin Raschke Application Engineer Portescap Laboratory automation has always been a great fit for linear motion. Within certain laboratory devices, precision is required for moving samples into position, adding reagents, and withdrawing samples. Advancements in the linear force and speed […]

What are the performance benefits of 5-phase stepper motors?

May 28, 2021 By Danielle Collins Leave a Comment

5-phase stepper motors

Stepper motors are often categorized by the number of phases in their construction, with 2-phase and 5-phase versions being common designs. And although 2-phase versions are more widely adopted, 5-phase stepper motors offer performance advantages that make them the preferred choice in some applications. The basic construction of a hybrid stepper motor includes two rotor […]
