Drives in the robotics sector require a maximum of dynamics and precision, but at the same time must be kept as small and lightweight as possible. For this reason, the German Aerospace Centre reports it has created with its RoboDrive motors a new motor technology which unites a high torque development and performance density – and this with minimal weight and use of construction space. The motor developers have relied on safety brakes by mayr power transmission. The company says the high-performance ROBA-servostop brakes are not only extremely slimline and lightweight, but also provide reliable, constant holding torques over the entire lifetime.
