Servo motor sizing is often done with the help of a manufacturer’s sizing program, but it’s important to understand the three most critical factors—speed, torque, and inertia—to ensure you select the best-fit motor for the application.
Selecting the right servo motor for a linear motion system is a complex task, beginning with initial assumptions and component selections, which must be checked through a series of calculations and, in most cases, repeated over several iterations until a suitable combination of motor and mechanics is found...Categories: Technical Support

This webinar gives you guidelines for selecting the perfect DC motor type for your application. For example, which motor type is used in the climate control system of the Boeing Dreamliner, and for what reasons?- Is a brushed or a brushless design more adapted?
- Does a flat pancake type motor fit better or should it be an elongated cylindrical one?
- Are motors with a slotted iron core winding design the right choice, or should it be a motor with a slotless winding?
For motor selection, it is important to know the particular requirements of each application.
- How large are torque and speed? Are there any gears involved?
- How...
