Have You Considered a Frameless Motor?
Article Posted by Kollmorgen on 18th April 2024 on the Kollmorgen Blog in MotionWhen most engineers think of a brushless DC servo motor, they’re likely to visualize a housing with a flange to accept mounting bolts, connectors to accept power and data cables, and a rotor shaft that couples to the load. Hidden inside, they imagine a stator consisting of a stack of...
Kollmorgen’s low-temperature servo technology simplifies cleaning of solar energy heliostats
Since the turn of the 21st century, China has aggressively pursued solar technology and is today the world leader in both photovoltaic and thermal solar energy. Thermal systems rely on a large array of heliostats—mirrors that automatically move throughout the day to reflect sunlight to a central point, where the intense heat drives a power-generating turbine....
How to Cut Time and Cost by Customising Motion Control Systems with Standard Components
As miniaturisation trends drive the need for more complex compact linear motion systems, the need for customisation continues to grow. However, machine designers may not have to build an entirely new system from the ground up. Working closely with motion technology vendors, they can get an optimal solution from standard configurations with targeted customisation....
