Motion Insights: Understanding Motor Constant (Km), the Key to High Torque & Low Temperature Rise

Motion systems are often tasked with the impossible: Delivering high power without any temperature rise. The solution is always a compromise, typically using more power-efficient components while allowing some temperature rise — but not enough to cause thermal expansion, which can degrade pointing/positioning accuracy. Rising temperatures create additional design, performance and even safety issues (e.g., in surgical robots). So…what’s the best way to limit temperature rise?

All questions will be answered in this webinar and Q&A session covering the single most important specification for motor selection: Motor Constant (Km).

Attend this webinar and learn:

• Why Motor Constant is so critical in motor selection
• When temperature becomes a critical parameter for motion systems
• How to select a motor based on torque and temperature
• Design expectations of motors for thermally limited applications
