We know more about the surface of the moon than the depths of the ocean. That’s no surprise given the conditions there. And yet, an ever increasing number of sophisticated vehicles are making their way down to the ocean floor. driven, the maxon motor magazine, also goes on a dive and brings back surprising facts and stories.The new issue of driven – the maxon motor magazine. ©maxon motor ag
Sophisticated robotic vehicles, autonomous or controlled via cables, are exploring the world underwater in search of scientific data, natural resources, or sunken shipwrecks. The technologies used must be able to resist aggressive salt water and huge ambient pressures. Learn more about how such systems are tested and where they are used: in the latest issue of driven – the maxon motor magazine.
In the world of drives, the motor often takes center stage. However, a powerful motor controller is just as important. Our expert explains what capabilities a motor...Categories: Whitepapers- Posted: August 18, 2015

To understand the concept of high efficiency motors, you must first know how to calculate efficiency and the losses associated with the motor components themselves.
The final measured efficiency of a motor is calculated based only on the elements of the particular application they’re used in. For the motors themselves, without a load, manufacturers provide ratings based on standard formulas. To understand high efficiency motors you only need to know what makes them different.Cutaway of a maxon brush servo motor
But first, let’s look at the basic concept used for explaining motor efficiency, which says that efficiency is the ratio between the shaft output power and the electrical input power. Shaft output can be measured in horsepower or watts. We’ll use watts for the purposes of this article. The formula most often used is the simple one mentioned above:
ηm = Pout / Pin
where
ηm = motor efficiency
Pout = shaft power...Categories: Technical Support - Posted: March 19, 2015
Service robots for the disabled must be reliable, safe and easy to use. The right motion system components are essential for these highly specific applications.
Unlike industrial robots for manufacturing, service robots come with their own specification requirements aimed specifically at the end user, and the most discriminating user at that—a human being. That’s why designing and manufacturing service robots takes a particular set of skills and engineering expertise. For example, when Canada-based Kinova Robotics creates designs for this market, the design team brings years of experience in the field. And although they’ve modified the robots over the years, as new products and systems become readily available, they can produce higher quality and more useable products. Using the latest technologies allows the designers to continue to advance offerings to the public.
The company’s Jaco2 Robotic Arm provides a lightweight, quiet and easily controlled device to the service industry...
