Wave Springs Pack More Force into Less Space
Tried and true coil springs and disc springs work well in many engineering applications. However, it pays to compare these familiar options to another innovative spring design—flat-wire wave springs. Depending on the application, single- and multi-turn wave springs can offer distinct advantages … [Read more...]
Brushless Motor Winding Parameters – What They Mean and How to Choose the Best Winding
When designing a brushless motor into your application there is more to consider than just the speed, torque and voltage ratings. Inductance, Coulomb Friction, and Viscous Damping also have a great effect on the winding choice. If these parameters are ignored, you run a high chance of not having … [Read more...]
The Perfect Motion for Any Robot

Avoid the mistake of buying axes you don’t even need
Traditional, tried-and-true SCARA robots remain a very popular solution for palletizing and tray packing applications. However, their typical design configuration features four axes consisting of two rotary axes and one lifting swivel unit which is generally not needed for most palletizing … [Read more...]
How To Specify Couplings For Servo Applications
Having trouble choosing the correct coupling style? Understanding application requirements with regard to factors such as torque, stiffness, rpm values and shaft misalignment details will easily narrow the suitable choices. A good place to start when researching coupling choices is to have a … [Read more...]
How to Select a Brushless DC Motor
If an application requires high speed, quiet operation, low EMI and longevity, then brushless DC technology (BLDC) might be what you’re looking for in a motion solution. While Brushless DC motors have an overwhelming number of advantages, there are also a few counterpoints to be aware of before … [Read more...]
