Kollmorgen Direct Drive Linear and Rotary Motors

The industry’s largest selection of direct drive motors is currently provided by Kollmorgen, which pioneered the development of direct drive technology.

Gearboxes, timing belts, pulleys, and lead screws, increase machine size, weight and noise. They alsointroducing backlash and mechanical losses that reduce machine performance. Direct drive rotary and linear servo motors eliminate all these issues.

Rotary and linear servo motors with direct drive increase load acceleration, minimise power consumption, reduce system inertia, and guarantees maximum precision.

Additionally, your motion system is nearly maintenance-free and simpler to install. Direct drive motors do not require transmission components.

In addition to a significantly longer mean time between failures (MTBF), there is no gearbox to oil, no belts to tighten, and no cams to wear.
