Service robots use flat motors
Service robots for the disabled must be reliable, safe and easy to use. The right motion system components are essential for these highly specific applications. Unlike industrial robots for manufacturing, service robots come with their own specification requirements aimed specifically at the end user, and the most discriminating user at that—a human being. That’s why … Continue reading Service robots use flat motors
Applimotion’s LARC Motors for Large Diameter Direct Drive projects
Applimotion routinely scales its LARC motors (Linear Arc) for large diameter applications greater than 1 meter diameter. The modular nature of these motors allows them to integrate with large assemblies for scanning, imaging, and metrology applications where size requirements take priority over high torque requirements. LARC motors come in modular pieces and will bolt into … Continue reading Applimotion’s LARC Motors for Large Diameter Direct Drive projects

The importance of the Speed-Torque Gradient in DC Motor Sizing
Often overlooked when sizing DC motors is the Speed-Torque Gradient. The Speed-Torque Gradeint is defined as Δn / ΔM [rpm/mNm] . The speed / torque gradient is an indicator of a motor's performance. The smaller the value, the more powerful the motor and consequently the less motor speed varies with load variations. It is based on the … Continue reading The importance of the Speed-Torque Gradient in DC Motor Sizing
