Today’s modern Robotic Systems, such as surgical-systems or precision robotic armatures, require exacting movement with no mechanical disturbances in order to provide true and accurate haptic feedback to the human operator or control system. ThinGap’s motor kits are zero cogging, have near zero Eddy-current, low hysteresis, and a harmonic distortion of less than 1%, so torque output is directly proportional to current throughout the operating range. The resulting smooth motion, low profile, and linear output of ThinGap’s motor kits make them perfect for use in applications that require precision actuation and torque sensing, essentially a drive function and a feedback loop. Target applications include robotics, flight simulators and any areas where a human operation or system need force sensing. ThinGap’s slotless motor kits offer a high torque-to-weight ratio, and large through hole, and direct-drive capability that is critical to advanced Robotic, Surgical and Medical Imaging Systems.

Application Information: Medical and Robotics Applications

ThinGap’s slotless motor kits are zero cogging, which means smooth motion for imaging and pointing capabilities, and their ring architecture allows for creative Optical designs by allowing critical parts of the system, such as lenses, to be integrated into the center of the motor. ThinGap designs deliver precise action well suited for laser or beam steering systems like LiDAR, prism assemblies, optical sensors, and advanced imaging applications. The modern Airborne or Space-rated Gimbal and Turret Systems require high amounts of torque to quickly scan, slew and hold position precisely. ThinGap’s LS Series offers zero cogging performance with the advantage of a large through-hole, usually 65% of more of the device’s outer diameter. A large aperture saves both weight and provides valuable space for housing electronics or to pass through cabling. Both the LS and TG Series of motors’ low profile is due to an efficient mechanical design and optimized components.

Suggested Motor Kit: LS Series

ThinGap’s coggless motor kits are capable of the high precision, a fast dynamic response, unmatched velocity smoothness, and a linear torque constant desired in a wide range of process, fabrication, test, and manufacturing equipment. The TG series provides high-speed, high-power capabilities for systems that require it and desire a highly integrated direct drive or actuator solution. The LS Series offers high torque in a compact design for lower speed, yet high precision like those required by Semiconductor Equipment designers. Precision Industrial systems can benefit from the same performance, zero cogging, and ring-motor architecture that enables unique mechanical configurations that benefits other markets for ThinGap motor kits.
