The NavioPFS™ is a surgical system that combines a powerful image-free intraoperative planning and navigation system, with the next evolution in surgical robotics represented by the handheld NavioPFS handpiece.

Regardless of its construction, a DC motor is always performing the same job - converting electrical energy (DC) into mechanical energy.

Surgical power tool designers must choose whether to take a disposable or reusable design approach.

This paper will evaluate the underlying technology of magnetic encoders and illustrate the benefits and design tradeoffs to consider in a surgical hand tool or surgical robotic application.

This paper explains how to minimize the size of the motor required for an application while balancing tradeoffs in other design parameters.

The challenge for a home and ambulatory infusion pump designer is to create pumps that provide mobility and patient comfort while not sacrificing any quality of care.

One of the biggest challenges for electric motor manufacturers is to ensure that the instant internal temperature of the motor never exceeds its various components’ maximum, admissible temperature.

When designing an external mount electrical damper actuator, there are major miniature motor design elements that should be considered.

Electronically commutated miniature motors continue to gain interest due to their simple construction and long operational life time.

With a proper design of PWM, the eddy current effects can be minimized, allowing the motors to be optimally driven.

Portescap provides a Resistance Temperature Detector (also known as RTD), specifically a Negative Temperature Coefficient (NTC) for which the resistance decreases when the temperature increases.

This technical note derives a straight forward method to determine the rotor temperature for constant torque applications and variable duty cycle/torque applications where the duty cycle is less than or equal to one fifth the thermal time constant of the rotor.

In this article, we are looking for motors for possible high speed linear actuation. Due to its precise positioning capability, only stepper motor is examined here.

Industrial power tools (IPT) have an operating profile quite different from other motor-driven applications. A typical application requires torque output from the motor throughout the motion.

When set and controlled properly, an expansion valve will keep the evaporator active throughout its operation.
