Micro Direct Drive Motor

Miniature AC servomotor with high torque and high-resolution

Delivering a lineup with a wide range of application options of compact high-performance next-generation servo motors with built in encoders.

Features
• Built-in high performance encoder that enables direct fine positioning from resolutions of 1 arc-sec.
• Delivers high torque using high performance magnets and high density winding technology.
• Delivers small size with the motor and encoder designed as a single unit.
• Able to bear large loads directly through the use of a high stiffness bearing.
• Able to support hollow shaft structures.
• Customized designs are supported to suit our customer needs.

Case

A scalar robot with the repeatability of ±1μm

A scalar robot using a μDD motor with a hollow shaft (built in-house for accuracy experiment). The size of the robot became compact by passing cables through the hollow shaft.

Robotic arm Master/slave demonstration

Master/slave demonstration using a direct drive motor (with reactive force detection)
