Small motors for robots

For engineers within the robotics industry, it is important to design reliable systems that can operate for long periods without failure, that are safe and easily maintained. Small motors for robots from Magnetic Innovations with direct drive technology can help. They have no mechanical wear and tear, as they don’t have any gears or other moving parts. This means they require minimal maintenance and can operate for long periods without needing servicing.

Why small motors for the robotics industry are essential

In simple terms, small motors are essential for robots to move accurately and efficiently. They’re the hidden heroes behind the smooth operation of robotic arms, the precise navigation of drones, and so much more in the world of robotics.

Small motors aren’t only essential because of their size, their capabilities and efficiency also play a crucial role. Magnetic Innovations torque motors and actuators can easily be integrated into several areas and offer seamless integration into compact robotic platforms without sacrificing performance.

What sets our small motors apart is their ability to deliver high torque in a small package. This means they can speed up and slow down quickly, which is crucial for precise movements in robotics.

Our motors, known as Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motors (PMSMs), are designed with this in mind, making them perfect for robotics applications.

Precise control with small motors for robots

Another advantage of our small motors for robotics is that they offer high accuracy and precision. This makes them well-suited for applications that require precise control, such as robotics arms or pick-and-place systems. In addition direct drive motors are typically smaller and lighter than other motor types, making them suitable for use in compact systems.

Direct drive motors are also generally more energy efficient than other motor types, as they have a higher power density and can operate at higher speeds without generating as much heat. This can help to reduce the overall energy consumption of a robotics system.

Using our direct drive motors and actuators in robotics applications can have a variety of positive effects. For companies that operate in this market, these advantages can result in cost savings, increased productivity and greater performance.
