Akribis Systems has introduced its SGR Series rod motor positioning module, which features repeatable, submicron accuracy. As equipment and systems in dynamic industries like semiconductors, biotechnology, precision assembly, and battery manufacturing continually get smaller and faster, submicron-level positioning accuracy is critically important. The SGR module is equipped with a high-precision Akribis RDM-A Series coreless direct…
Akribis announces compact rod motors for effective linear thrust generation
Akribis Systems announces a new addition to its varied motion control product line: RDM-A Series rod motors for space-constrained applications requiring high motor forces and smooth linear motion. RDM-A Series rod motors are compact and feature a tubular design to distribute magnetic flux evenly along the circumference of the stator. With this approach, they achieve…
Frameless motors versus torque motors
Frameless motors are rotor-and-stator subcomponent sets that aren’t prefixed in a traditional motor housing. Here we outline some of their benefits … along with those of torque motors. By Lisa Eitel | Executive editor Frameless motors don’t include a motor housing or output shaft (or shaft-support bearings) either. Instead, the OEM or design engineer works […]
