Direct Drive Frameless Motors: High Torque and Efficiency for Diverse Applications
To control motion in an electromechanical system, many traditional servo or brushless motors can fit the bill. However, for applications that demand high torque, repeatability and space savings, direct drive frameless rotary motors — also known as torque motors — offer many appealing features. They also install directly into the mechanical system with no need for...
