ATR: The Fastest Direct Drive Rotary Motor by Akribis Systems

The ATR is another revolutionary direct drive motor from Akribis Systems.  The patent-pending design provides the motor with super high torque and low rotor inertia at the same time. In our ATR design, we replaced the conventional rotor back iron with another set of coils.  The removal of the back iron significantly reduced the rotor inertia. … Continue reading ATR: The Fastest Direct Drive Rotary Motor by Akribis Systems

Do you know the difference between these 10 types of servomotors?

Servomotors are generally used as a high performance alternative to the stepper motor. Stepper motors have some inherent ability to control position, as they have built-in output steps. This often allows them to be used as an open-loop position control, without any feedback encoder, as their drive signal specifies the number of steps of movement … Continue reading Do you know the difference between these 10 types of servomotors?

Eliminate Unsightly “Bars” Across your Substrate with Direct Drive Technology

Reprint of Kollmorgen Technical Article posted January 08, 2014, by Tom England Coating and lamination applications demand precise speed regulation in order to avoid velocity ripple that causes uneven coating and undesirable horizontal bars across the substrate.  The key to achieving the most uniform coating is minimizing the variations in velocity as well as in metering of … Continue reading Eliminate Unsightly “Bars” Across your Substrate with Direct Drive Technology

What is different about direct drive motors?

Answer:  Some slight differences in their magnetic design. There are several factors that define the type of motion or motor that is best for an application.  Directly driving a shaft is not new technology.  Moving slow, smooth and accurate while positioning in fine increments takes the right combination of technology.  The selection of a motor, encoder, bearing system, and … Continue reading What is different about direct drive motors?
