‘Gearhead’
A Engineeringtalk guide
Start with the news release
TM-Series is torque motor with power controller from
Oriental Motor, which we summarised at the time by saying "The TM-Series from Oriental Motor comprises a torque motor with power controller. ".
Several months prior to that,
we featured the news release Internet service puts 3D gearheads online from
TraceParts: "CGI's customers can now select the right product for their needs and then download 3D CAD models of the products into their designs.".
In July 2008, we covered the news from EMS
- take a look at DC servomotor offers simple construction
which says: "The combined moulding of the coil, PCB and hall-effect sensors guarantees a reliable, robust construction. ".
Take a look also at the news release from R+W Coupling Technology, Coupling compensates for misalignment,
as well as High-precision drives answer aerospace demands from Maxon Motor UK,
and Motors combine low inertia and high power from Parker Hannifin Electromechanical Automation.
