Compact frameless direct drive motors
newly available from INMOCO UK
A range of low profile direct drive motors
with a compact and frameless design
are now available from INMOCO in the
UK. Celera Motion’s Omni™ Series direct
drive motor range features high torque
density in a compact design, suited to high
performance, reliable and compact systems.
Highly utilized in medical equipment
requiring low profile precision rotary axis
control, the Omni Series is designed for

use with applications such as surgical
robotic arms. With features including high
acceleration, zero backlash and high
mechanical stiffness, as well as low inertia
and reduced settling time, the Omni Series
provides optimal control accuracy of highly
dynamic axes. Low cogging also delivers
accurate and smooth motion.
Combined with its low footprint design
and minimal, compact cabling, Omni
Series motors are optimal for use within
robotic axis joints. Based on a frameless
construction, the direct drive motors are
integrated within a robot joint to drive a
high ratio gear set. Characterised by an
increased torque potential as a result of a
direct drive motor’s higher pole count, the
Omni Series is able to provide high output
from compact dimensions, beneficial for
medical robot applications where footprint
is at a premium.
