Everest S is about 30% smaller than its predecessor, includes Dual-BISS-C feedback support and is designed for surgical robots, exoskeletons and other robots.

The MAXXgrip is robot vendor independent and can be deployed on any industrial robot or cobot. The articulating fingers stabilize items during pick and place operations.

Nikon announced the expansion of its C3 eMotion intelligent actuator unit lineup with the IAU-30 and IAU-300 types.

Portescap recently released a 19mm, called the 20ECF, and 32mm, called the 32ECF brushless slotted flat motor.

There can be a fine line between what is considered a motion controller and what represents a basic servo drive. It is critical to understand the functionality and intelligence of both.

Matteo Stagni is appointed GM of a new office in Frankfurt, Germany, to better serve the rapidly growing European market.

Offering a combination of motion smoothness and torque density, the direct drive motors are designed for cobots, surgical robots and more.

Soft, pneumatic actuators can provide high response rates and power to input ratios, but creating them can be tedious.

Kollmorgen’s TBM2G series of frameless servo motors offers high-performance torque in a compact electromagnetics package.

The Delta Line size 115 frameless BLDC motors were developed to meet the space and performance requirements of robot joints.

The stepIM closed-loop servo stepper is available in three sizes: short (97.4 mm motor length), medium (105.9 mm motor length), and long (120.4 mm motor length).

The acquisition of Melior Motion strengthens Schaeffler’s robotics portfolio. The company began expanding its robotics presence in 2017.

The robots could be used in swarms to pollinate a field of crops, or to search for survivors in disaster areas.

The key to the team’s actuator’s quick movements is in its bi-stable design, and the shape it prefers depends on the temperature.

Selecting the correct motor is critical to overall performance for autonomous mobile robots.

The new Multiturn Inductive Angle Encoder can be used for robot joints, servo motors, cartesian robots and more.

Heidenhain’s MRS encoder module series for robotic arms has been redesigned embedded bearings to better withstand outside tilting forces.

GAM’s newest GCL cycloidal gearboxes provide high precision and rigidity for horizontal and vertical robotic and motion control applications.

Celera said the IncOder CORE is suited for integration into rotary joints for surgical, medical and industrial robots.

NH1-D series frameless motors fit into smaller machines requiring precision, high efficiency, low inertia, and high torque density.

Heidenhain’s new KCI 120 Dplus rotary encoder provides both motor feedback and position measurement.

The Series A supports the launch of the Archimedes Drive, which relies on friction instead of gear teeth to transmit torque.
