Scanning for ideas: Thin is in for this motor
NuvoDisc motors from Portescap, a Danaher Motion company based in West Chester, Pa. (portescap.com), measure only 11.8-mm thick with a 32-mm diameter.
They can spin at
50,000 rpm and generate
10 mN-m. Its slotless
design reduces cogging
and makes for smoother
operations, and an optional
slotted version
generates detent torque.
The motor is also said to
draw less current than
other motors, reducing
power requirements and
heat.
