Direct drive technology eliminates mechanical transmission — gears, belts, drives — and completely removes periodic error and backlash.
Key features:
- Increased efficiency: no energy losses due to friction in belts, chains, or gearboxes
- Low noise: fewer moving parts — fewer sources of vibration
- Longer service life: fewer moving parts means fewer components that can fail
- High positioning speed: permanent magnet synchronous servo drives
- High rigidity: no gearbox, no mechanical backlash
