A new range of direct drive servomotors from Motor Technology enables machine builders to increase energy efficiency and achieve a reduction in drive components. Direct drive motors are fitted directly to the load, dispensing with the need for additional components such as gearboxes, couplings, belts, chains and sprockets. They are highly efficient (typically 90 to 95%) and Motor Technology believes they could help users to achieve energy savings of up to 50% in some cases.
