Frameless motors are used everywhere today. Every electric vehicle, hybrid vehicle, rotary stage, robot joint, gimbal, and many more advanced industrial applications use frameless motors.

Custom motor is typically a motor that has unique features and performance specific to the application and this set of requirements is not available when the project is started.

Torque motor is a term that has been created to describe a motor that will be used mainly for torque control in a precision system.

Direct Drive has seen a re-birth in awareness and new applications over the past 20 years. Driving a shaft directly is really nothing new and has been done for over 100 years.

In this webinar, Sierramotion co-founder, Robert Mastromattei, talks about the benefits of combining direct drive motors and precision gearing for robotic joints.

This article provides five tips on how to select a direct drive frameless torque motor kit and provides system engineering requirements for the drive motor selection.
