Understanding the physics and optimization techniques of electric motors— including slotted, slotless, and frameless designs— is essential for enhancing value and performance. In this webinar, we’ll discuss the effects of pole count, winding modifications, and other construction trade-offs such as length, diameter, and back-iron design. We’ll also highlight gearing modifications that can play a crucial role in optimizing speed and torque characteristics.

Join us to explore:

  • The balance between standard and configurable products that offer quick solutions versus customized products that ​meet unique technical requirements.​
  • How to tailor motor and gearing properties to meet stringent requirements, achieving a distinct advantage in robotics applications.
  • The value that​ customized​ motor solutions can deliver for superior performance and improved ROI
How to Select the Right Motor for Robotic Applications to Reduce Cost and Time to Market
