Smartdrive has been appointed as the exclusive UK distributor for the Motortronics ranges of stepper motors, servomotors, resolvers and encoders from Japanese manufacturer Tamagawa.

Founded in 1938, Tamagawa is one of the world's leading suppliers of precision motion control systems, and its products are widely used in industries as diverse as automotive, factory automation, scientific instrumentation and arcade games.

Commenting on the new agreement, Jon Bentley, Business Development Manager of Smartdrive, said: "Tamagawa has a worldwide reputation for quality and reliability, and their products fit very well into our overall portfolio".

"When combined with Smartdrive's own engineering expertise in the development of stepper and servo drive systems, they will enable us to offer a complete package of precision motion control solutions for a variety of industries." An important feature of the Tamagawa approach is that the company is happy to produce "specials" in relative small quantities - something that fits in very well with Smartdrive's philosophy of producing complete motion-control solutions for customers in areas such as scientific equipment and laboratory instrumentation - where smaller production runs of relatively high value are typical.

"The requirements of this relatively new - but expanding - market create new demands in terms of precision, accuracy and smoothness on motion control systems", adds Bentley, "and Tamagawa's market-leading resolvers and encoders are ideally suited to the requirements of this sector.".
