DirectDriveSystemen
DirectDriveSystemen (direct drive systems) are mechanical and electromechanical assemblies that transmit torque or linear force directly from a motor to a driven load without intermediate gears, belts, or transmissions. The design replaces reduction elements with motors that produce sufficient torque at operating speeds, often using torque (disk) motors, frameless motors, or linear motors.
Principles and components include a high-torque motor rotor connected directly to the load, precision bearings or
Advantages of direct drive systems are improved efficiency, reduced backlash and mechanical compliance, lower maintenance due
Limitations include larger motor sizes for a given torque requirement, higher initial cost, thermal management challenges,
Common applications span industrial automation, robotics, semiconductor equipment, precision machine tools, turntables and drives for audio/video
