High torque electric motors

A torque motor, also known as a high torque motor or direct torque motor, is a type of electric motor specifically designed to produce high torque at low speeds, often without the need for a reduction gear or intermediate gearing. These motors are capable of delivering high rotary force directly from their output shaft, making them ideal for applications requiring high precision and direct control of motion.

Stator

The stator is the fixed part of the motor, made up of wire coils wound around iron poles. The stator generates a magnetic field when a current flows through it.

Rotor

The rotor is the moving part of the motor, generally fitted with powerful permanent magnets. The rotor rotates within the magnetic field produced by the stator.

Enclosure

The high-torque motor is encased in a housing that protects the motor's internal components and ensures their correct alignment.

Position sensors

Position sensors are devices such as encoders or resolvers that provide precise information about the angular position of the rotor.

Generation of the magnetic field

When an electric current flows through the stator coils, it creates a rotating magnetic field.

Magnetic interaction

The permanent magnets in the rotor interact with this magnetic field, producing a rotating force (torque) that turns the rotor.

Position and speed control

Position sensors provide feedback information to the electronic controller, allowing precise control of rotor speed and position.

A torque motor or high torque motor is an essential device for applications requiring direct and precise control of motion with high torque at low speed, offering efficient and reliable solutions for a wide range of industrial and technological sectors.
