Skid-steer-loader designers used to be restricted to cam lobe motors for propulsion because of the requirement for high torque, among other considerations. Now, one vendor has introduced an orbital ...

Precision automation systems and instrumentation equipment manufacturers depend on motion components in applications from micro-mechanical assembly to optical scanning. PI offers a wide range of ...

When high torque, a tight design, and always-reliable gear motors are required, worm gear motors rise to the top. Such systems are effective in many cases, such as a worm gear motor for robotics and a ...

Step motors provide accurate position control without the need for feedback, traditionally in open-loop control schemes. A stepper motor’s shaft normally makes discrete angular movements of ...

Most known for their versatility, electric motors have revolutionised the way we view the core definition of power, qualifying it as effective energy expenditure concerning work done over time. Among ...

A synchronous and synchronous motors are the two main categories of ac motors. The induction motor is a common form of asynchronous motor and is basically an ac transformer with a rotating secondary.

There are many drive technologies and solutions available that are generally suitable in cases where a central opening is needed. In practical use, however, each has its own disadvantages. With hybrid ...
