Direct drive technology
Support » Glossary » D
In direct drive solutions the rotatory or linear motor components (torque motors, DDR motors, linear motors) are an integrative component of the mechanisms and machines to be driven.
That is to say, couplings, gears, pinion and spur racks, belt and chain gears as well as spindles are no longer required, including all side effects connected with that such as gear play, elasticity effects, wear. Noise emissions, additional maintenance effort and space requirements. Direct drive technology is, therefore, particularly favorable when friction and wear-free movements are to be realized with high precision and dynamics by means of compact arrangements.
