				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><p style="font-weight: 400;">The Akribis <a href="/akribis-acr-arc-motors-precise-angular-motion/">ACR</a> series ironless arc motors are designed for angular motion with constrained rotation up to 360 degrees.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Compared with DDR motors the <a href="/akribis-acr-arc-motors-precise-angular-motion/">ACR</a> series arc motors feature larger centre holes, lower profile, and higher stiffness. </p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">When coupled with larger radius circular encoder scales and arc bearings, <a href="/akribis-acr-arc-motors-precise-angular-motion/">ACR</a> motors can achieve better positioning, repeatability, and accuracy.</p></div>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><p style="font-weight: 400;"><b>Features and Benefits:</b></p>
<ul style="font-weight: 400;">
<li>Ironless technology and no cogging force</li>
<li>Thin coil design with low mass</li>
<li>Large centre hole</li>
<li>Integrated Hall sensor and temperature sensor</li>
<li>Direct drive with high torque without cogging effect</li>
<li>Limit-angle or 360-degree operation</li>
<li>Flexible configuration with multiple coils or tracks</li>
<li>Multiple coils connected in series or parallel to increase torque output</li>
<li>Multiple tracks attaching together to extend angle of rotation</li>
<li>High motor constant</li>
</ul>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><b>Configurations:</b></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="/akribis-acr-arc-motors-precise-angular-motion/">ACR</a> arcmotors allow customers to configure motors to suit their requirements:<br />For example, multiple coils can be used to increase torque output, or multiple tracks to increase range of motion.</p></div>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><p style="font-weight: 400;"><b>Applications:</b></p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">In applications with limited angle of rotation, direct drive rotary motors are not always necessary.<span> <a href="/akribis-acr-arc-motors-precise-angular-motion/">ACR</a></span> arc motors can provide a lower cost solution and save space, particularly in systems with large radius of motion. </p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Compared with conventional direct drive rotary motors, <a href="/akribis-acr-arc-motors-precise-angular-motion/">ACR</a> arc motors can provide a larger centre hole, lower profile, and high torque output. </p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;"><a href="/akribis-acr-arc-motors-precise-angular-motion/">ACR</a> arc motors aid the development of more compact systems which in turn are more competitive.</p>
<p style="font-weight: 400;">Akribis <a href="/akribis-acr-arc-motors-precise-angular-motion/">ACR</a> series arc motors are applicable to G2.5, G4.5, G6, G8.5, G10.5 and G11 LCD, 8-inch or 12-inch wafer processing and inspection equipment, as well as biomedical devices, precision assembly and industrial printing machines.</p>

<p data-start="214" data-end="533">Founded in 2016, Square Robot innovates in robotic inspection of above-ground tanks that store diesel, gasoline, kerosene, oils, and other products. By continuously developing robotic, data acquisition, and data-processing technologies, Square Robot enables in-service inspections to ensure tank integrity and safety.</p>
<p data-start="535" data-end="550"><strong data-start="535" data-end="548">Challenge</strong></p>
<p data-start="552" data-end="918">The submersible robot needs eight thrusters to achieve six degrees of freedom in navigation. Initially, a commercially available thruster proved incompatible with gasoline and other petrochemicals due to its materials. Therefore, Square Robot’s engineering team partnered with Kollmorgen, a market leader known for its expertise in specialized motion applications.</p>
