The full name of the DD motor is Direct Drive Rotary, which refers to a direct-drive rotating motor, commonly abbreviated as DD motor. Due to its high output torque, some companies refer to it as a torque motor. Unlike traditional motors, the DD motor, with its large torque, can be directly connected to the motion device, eliminating the need for components such as reducers, gearboxes, and pulleys, which is why it is called a direct drive motor. Additionally, the motor is equipped with a high-resolution encoder, enabling the product to achieve higher precision than ordinary servos. By using direct connection, it reduces positioning errors caused by mechanical structures, ensuring processing accuracy. It also minimizes dimensional errors and noise during operation caused by mechanical friction.
Features and Applications of DD Motors
DD motors have the following advantages:
(1)No origin reset:
Using an absolute encoder, the current position can be recognized without the need to reset the origin
(2)High Precision:
Each revolution can be divided into 2 * 20/24 power pulses, with positioning accuracy as precise as ±30 arc-seconds or less.
(3)High Torque:
It can output high torque within a compact size and drive large loads at high rotational speeds.
(4)High Stiffness:
Utilizing cross bearings, it has large radial and axial load capacities and can withstand high static loads.
(5)Maintenance-Free:
No need for additional lubrication or other motor maintenance tasks.
(6)Easy Installation:
The load can be directly installed without requiring intermediate components like reducers, pulleys, or gears, which reduces assembly and debugging time.
(7)Low Noise:
Direct load installation without intermediate joints helps reduce noise during operation
(8)Fast Response:
With direct load installation and no intermediate connectors, the response time is faster, allowing for precise settings in a shorter period.
