Does Your Motion Control Application Require

  • High resolution and holding torque?
  • Lower production costs and bill of materials (BOM)?
  • An improvement in the end-product’s look-and-feel, weight and height?

New Technology Beats Electromagnetic Motors

The table below gives application CTO’s, designers, and engineers a comparison of these two different motor technologies: stepper motors and PCBMotors.

DC & Stepper Motors

PCBMotors

pcbmotor-versus-stepper-motor_50Conventional electromagnetic motor using built-in step motor functionality for position control (open-loop motion control) stepper-motor-versus-pcbmotor_50Innovative piezoelectric motor technology for slackless movement in application (closed-loop only with position sensor)
  • Require more application ‘real estate’
  • Can’t be integrated on-board
  • Require additional parts and mechanisms
  • Have a higher bill of materials
  • Aren’t conducive to thin, light applications
  • Are constant power devices
  • Lose torque with increasing resolution
  • Offer compact design possibilities
  • Integrate motors & drivers onto PCB
  • Do not require clutches, gears & brakes
  • Result in lower Bill of Materials
  • Will lower application height
  • Only utilize power in operation-mode
  • Maintain full holding torque in power-off
  • Are more energy efficient
  • Offer more accurate angular positioning
