Next gen robot-ready frameless servo motors

Automation / Robotics Electronics motor roboticsELECTROMATE Kollmorgen TBM2G series of frameless servo motors has features that simplify the design of collaborative, surgical, aerospace and defense and other robots while delivering optimal performance in a lighter, more compact package. Products complement firm’s existing TBM and KBM series of frameless motors. Product series provides high-performance torque in a compact electromagnetics package. The next-generation devices enable robots with lower joint weight, higher load-carrying capacity, improved energy efficiency, lower thermal rise, and faster, smoother movements. Motors remove this limitation through advanced windings and materials that deliver industry-leading power, torque and efficiency consistently across a wide speed range. Units also remove the sizing limitation that engineers often face when using off-the-shelf strain wave gearing, also known in the robotics market as harmonic gearing.
