The best engineers aren’t just taught – they’re given the right tools to learn
At Tecnotion, we’re proud to see our direct drive torque motors powering more than industrial systems – they’re also helping educate the next generation of engineers. Read more [Picture source: Tecnotion on linkedin.com]
Small form factor. Serious performance
When every millimeter matters, your motor should deliver performance without taking up valuable space. The Unano ironless linear motor series combines high precision, smooth motion, and high force density in an ultra-thin package of just 12.5 mm. It is designed for applications where compactness and accuracy go hand in hand, including metrology and inspection stages,…
Vacuum doesn’t just remove air – it changes the rules of motion
Without air, heat transfer changes dramatically. Thermal management, outgassing, installation, and long-term reliability all become critical design considerations. Getting one of these wrong can lead to reduced performance or even costly downtime of your system. Read more [Picture source: Tecnotion on linkedin.com]
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
