Celera Motion Agility Series Slotless Motors Achieves Less than 2 Percent Torque Ripple, Zero Cogging

June 16, 2017

Ideally suited for scanning, pointing, measuring and cutting applications that require extremely smooth velocity control and highly accurate positioning, the Agility Series delivers best-in-class torque ripple and zero cogging.

Engineered with ZeroCog slotless motor technology from Applimotion, the effects of cogging torque, magnetic forces, flux harmonics and phase balance and alignment are minimized to counteract the causes of torque ripple. Agility magnetic designs and construction techniques can achieve less than 2 percent torque ripple.

The Agility Series is offered in a wide range of low-profile form factors with a large through hole for convenient routing of cables, optics, sensing technologies and other system elements. Models are available in diameters from 12mm to 300mm, and with peak torques up to 41Nm.

Frameless direct drive kit construction, high torque density and low mass enables Agility to be tightly integrated into compact, lightweight precision assemblies.

All models are compatible with a wide range of controllers and drives. Windings and form factors can be customized to meet application requirements.
