Mitsubishi introduces low-profile direct drive for direct control of a servo motor

February 21, 2019 by Mai Tao

Mitsubishi Electric Automation has introduced a low-profile direct drive motor to enable direct and accurate control of a servo motor.

Machine designers and end users looking for direct control of a load without traditional transmission components will be interested in the new Low-Profile Direct Drive Motors (TM-RG2M / TM-RU2M), says Mitsubishi.

Built with speed and precision in mind, it provides a smaller footprint and allows for more compact, efficient, and precise machines than those typically built using rotary servo motors. Applications that are well suited for the new motor include coating and vapor deposition systems, index tables, tool changers, rotary material handling robots, and rotary axis on XYθ inspection positioning systems.
