Exoskeletons at Scale: Accelerating the Transition from R&D to Full-rate Production
The exoskeleton market is still in its infancy — but evolving quickly and ripe with opportunity. It’s a double-edged sword for OEMs who must identify the most impactful applications and crack the code on full-scale production, which presents a new set of challenges and considerations. Projects that seemed feasible during R&D and even LRIP can quickly become...
When the Motion is Lost
The aim of this article is to provide more detailed information about this parameter in TwinSpin® gears. Further on, we give short examples with different lost motion setups to show the differences between backlash and lost motion, and finally we mention something about the companion of lost motion - hysteresis.One of the most common questions about TwinSpin®...
Five Motion Tips for Optimal High-Definition Metal Cutting Performance
When investing in a new or upgraded metal-cutting machine, industrial customers are looking for higher throughput, superior cut quality and greater ease of implementation and use. How can you establish your laser, waterjet or plasma cutting machine as the preferred choice for next-generation performance? Motion makes the difference. Learn 5 key opportunities for...

TwinSpin® high-precision gearboxes play a key role in the proper control, parameter setting and precision maintenance of the particle accelerators at CERN. They help to ensure the proper functioning and performance of these complex scientific facilities.Top scientists from European Union at CERN are looking for answers to these fundamental questions, using the...
Motion for Missiles: Optimizing Performance
Missile systems continue to evolve to meet specialized needs — from tactical guided missiles to longer-range strategic weapons, each designed for launch from a particular platform to reach a particular target. Defense contractors are under pressure to design and produce ever more sophisticated systems in greater quantities to meet today’s national and global...
Direct Drive Frameless Motors: High Torque and Efficiency for Diverse Applications
To control motion in an electromechanical system, many traditional servo or brushless motors can fit the bill. However, for applications that demand high torque, repeatability and space savings, direct drive frameless rotary motors — also known as torque motors — offer many appealing features. They also install directly into the mechanical system with no need for...
