Direct Drive servo motor and drive technology not only reduces an axis’ parts count, mechanical losses and often its objectionable noise; Direct drive technology also increases a machine’s efficiency, lowering operation cost for the user due to its inertia ratio, as compared to the more common mechanically advantaged multi-body axis designs. Reducing the mechanical transmission components such as gearboxes, timing belts, pulleys, cams, lead screws and so on, between the motor and its load is only part of the savings!
