From the precise operations on factory assembly lines to the revolutionary exoskeletons, direct drive robotics motors offer dependability and efficiency.

At Magnetic Innovations, our line of direct drive PMSM motors includes torque motors, linear actuators and custom motors.

With our selection of direct drive motors, robotics engineers can achieve unprecedented levels of accuracy, driving innovation and productivity forward.

What is meant by direct drive drive in robotics?

Direct drive refers to a mechanism where the motor is directly coupled to the load it is driving. When the motor receives electrical power, it generates torque, which directly translates into motion in the load.

Direct drive systems are typically composed of specialized motors such as brushless torque motors, which are designed to provide high torque and precise control without the need for gears or other mechanical components.

This configuration offers several advantages, including improved efficiency, higher precision, reduced maintenance requirements, and increased reliability.

How can the industry benefit from direct drive motors in robotics?

Our direct drive motors are commonly used in robotics to achieve precise and smooth motion control, making them essential for various applications like robotic arms, drones, and automation equipment.

Because a direct drive system refers to a configuration where the motor directly drives the load there is no use of any intermediate mechanisms such as gears or belts.

With no gears or moving parts, direct drive motors configuration eliminates the need for additional moving parts, reducing mechanical wear significantly. This makes direct drive motors particularly advantageous for the robotics industry, as it extends operational lifespan, minimizes downtime, and lowers maintenance requirements.
