Direct Drive Motors

Save time, money and space with Wittenstein’s direct drive motor technology. Considerably simpler and less expensive than conventional motor/gearbox technology, the direct drive servo motors offer simplicity and power.

Quiet operation, fewer components, highest accuracy and backlash-free operation are some of the inherent advantages applications will benefit from with Wittenstein’s direct drive motors.

Features
  • Direct coupling of rotor to load means no backlash or hysteresis and superior regulation stiffness
  • Reduced cost of ownership and simpler design, no wear or maintenance
  • High pole count results in high power density and ultra smooth motion
  • High degree of efficiency and low current consumption
  • Fast acceleration, response time, and settling time
  • Available feedback systems: Resolver, incremental encoder, absolute encoder
  • Quiet running compact design
  • Available in housed or frameless versions with solid or hollow shaft
  • Compatible with most servo drives
Applications
  • Semiconductor and solar manufacturing, wafer processing, and chip production
  • SCARA, articulated, and gantry robots
  • Paper converting and finishing
  • Packaging and material handling
  • Machine tool, CNC machining, turret heads, and rotary tables
  • Defense applications for tracking and targeting systems
  • Simulation and training devices
