Selecting a Gearbox for High Input Speed Servo Motors

SELECTION GUIDE High motor speed changes bearing, lubrication, heat and noise conditions inside a reducer. A ratio that looks correct at output speed still has to be valid at the intended input speed. Quick answer Selecting a Gearbox for High Input Speed Servo Motors...

How Backlash Affects Robot and CNC Positioning Accuracy

SELECTION GUIDE Backlash creates a dead zone when torque reverses, but load-side positioning error also includes elastic twist, structural deflection and control behavior. Quick answer How Backlash Affects Robot and CNC Positioning Accuracy should be evaluated from...

Choosing Gear Ratio for a Servo Motor and Planetary Gearbox

SELECTION GUIDE Gear ratio links motor speed, output speed, torque multiplication and reflected inertia, so it should be chosen as a system variable rather than a single catalogue number. Quick answer Choosing Gear Ratio for a Servo Motor and Planetary Gearbox should...
