Bearing with Torque Motor
Highly dynamic complete systems consisting of bearing and drive
In a direct drive, the motor and driven component are directly connected. There is no need for intermediate elements for power transmission such as gears, shafts or belts. Changes in motor speed have a direct effect on the driven component in rotary applications. Direct drives are suitable for rotary and linear movements. Torque motors are integrated directly into bearing assemblies. The customer receives a completely ready-to-install system. Due to the direct control, it is not only possible to generate a rotary motion, but also to position extremely precisely or to execute defined cycle steps. Bearing assemblies with integrated direct drives are characterized by maximum energy efficiency. The moving masses are significantly lower and power loss due to factors such as friction and backlash is minimized. The coils of the torque motor are integrated in the stator and the magnets are mounted on the rotor. Bearing assemblies with direct drives are suitable for numerous applications in many industries. Advantages result from the high performance of the direct drives in the areas of energy efficiency, dynamics and precision. The use of integrated wire race bearings enables further advantages such as weight savings, robustness and high center clearance to be realized.
