When does a standard motor stop being the right motor?
Usually when your application requires custom voltages, integrated cooling, different cables, vacuum or cleanroom compatibility, higher force density, or lower force ripple. Or simply dimensions that don’t exist in a catalog. That’s where customization starts. Read more [Picture source: Tecnotion on linkedin.com]
Servo motor or torque motor? The answer isn’t always obvious
Summer is the perfect time to catch up on technical knowledge. So, here is one worth adding to your watch list. In Engineering Insight #3, our application engineer Stefan Jansen explains the practical differences between torque motors and conventional servo motors. Read more
The best partnerships aren’t measured in months. They are measured in decades
Twenty-five years ago, Tecnotion and Maintech started working together. Since then, we have shared projects, solved engineering challenges, and supported customers together. Read more (Picture source: Tecnotion on linkedin.com)
How much force can you fit into 36 millimeters?
Sometimes the biggest design challenge is not force… It’s space! That is exactly why we developed the TD iron core motor family. Read more [Picture source: Tecnotion on linkedin.com]

Inertia is often treated like a number… but it isn’t
Moment of inertia is one of the most underestimated parameters in motion system design. Most engineers know that inertia matters. But in practice, it’s often simplified too early. Read more [Picture source: Tecnotion on linkedin.com]
Inrunner motor vs outrunner motor
Every direct-drive torque motor has two main parts: a stator and a rotor. The stator is the stationary core that holds the coils and electric connections; the rotor is the dynamic rotating moving part containing the permanent magnets. Read more
Engineering Insight #1: Motor Selection is not about the motor
Most motor sizing mistakes don’t come from the motor… they come from misunderstanding the forces. Engineers often focus on speed and catalog specs. Read more [Picture source: Tecnotion on linkedin.com]
What Is A Torque Motor?
In this video, we explain the characteristics and 4 advantages of a torque motor. So what is a synchronous torque motor? They are permanent-magnet direct drive motors that rotate along an axis. These motors can be used wherever a rotary movement is required and offer numerous advantages over conventional servo drives. The 2 main characteristics are a three-phase stator and…
Tecnotion TD series – engineered for ultra tight spaces
Meet the TD Series linear motors. Iron-core performance engineered for ultra-tight spaces. Three compact versions, TD36, TD55, and TD82, delivering outstanding peak forces up to 1611 N. Lightweight coils reduce magnet-plate length, while the hybrid cable simplifies…
