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…
