Design Check for your drive technology
Design the right drive solution correctly from the very beginning
Which frameless motor is right for your application? Which size and winding configuration meets the requirements for torque, installation space, and dynamics? And how can the motor be sensibly integrated into the overall system?
In the free Design Check, our application team supports you in defining the right drive solution at an early stage. Together, we review your technical requirements and recommend the suitable motor series, size, and winding configuration, as well as, if needed, an appropriate integration concept.
What is considered in the Design Check?
The selection of a motor does not depend on a single characteristic value. What matters is the interplay of the requirements of your application.
Our experts consider, among other things:
- Continuous, peak, and holding torque
- Speed and dynamics
- Available installation space and weight
- Supply voltage
- Thermal connection and load profile
- Sensors and control requirements
- Gearbox and gear ratio
- Required hollow shaft
- Planned quantity
On this basis, we recommend the appropriate ILM series or ILM-E series, as well as size and winding configuration.
From the motor kit to the custom actuator
Depending on the project, the right solution can begin with the stator-rotor kit or extend all the way to a fully integrated actuator.
With the Assembly & Integration Service, TQ-RoboDrive can, upon request, support the further implementation of the actuator concept. This can include bringing together the motor, gearbox, bearings, housing, sensors, brake, and other components into a customer-specific unit.
Depending on the project, TQ also takes care of component procurement, assembly, testing, quality assurance, packaging, and delivery.
This means that the Design Check can already take into account which level of integration is technically and economically the best fit for the project.
Advantages of an early Design Check
The earlier motor, mechanics, and integration concept are considered together, the more precisely the drive solution can be tailored to the application.
The Design Check helps to:
- Bring technical requirements together at an early stage
- Select the motor series, frame size, and winding configuration to suit the application
- Take installation space and weight into account in a targeted way
- Incorporate thermal requirements into the concept at an early stage
- Assess integration effort and additional components
- Take planned quantities into account when selecting the solution
- Reduce later adjustment cycles
An appropriate system architecture can also help reduce manufacturing costs and total cost of ownership over the lifecycle.

Send us your contact details via the form and, if you wish, a brief description of your application.
2. Discuss requirements together
Our application team will contact you and clarify the technical conditions personally by email or phone.
3. Design a suitable solution
Together, we examine, among other things, installation space, torque, speed, thermal performance, sensors, gearbox, and planned production volume. From this, we derive the suitable motor series, frame size, and winding configuration.
4. Define next steps
Depending on the project, further implementation ranges from the individual stator-rotor kit to initial prototypes, a customer-specific actuator, and serial production.

FAQs about the Design Check
What is the Design Check by TQ-RoboDrive?
TQ-RoboDrive’s Design Check is a free technical consultation for selecting and designing a suitable drive solution. Our application team considers, among other things, torque, speed, installation space, thermal management, sensors, gearboxes, and planned production volume. Based on the requirements profile, the appropriate motor series, including suitable frame sizes and winding configurations, is recommended and possible integration concepts are evaluated.
What information is needed for the Design Check?
For a Design Check, information on torque, speed, installation space, supply voltage, and load profile is particularly helpful. In addition, information on thermal behavior, sensors, gearbox, hollow shaft diameter, weight, and planned production quantity may be relevant. The more precisely the requirements profile is described, the more specifically the motor series, size, and winding configuration can be matched to the application.
How is the right frameless motor selected?
The appropriate frameless motor is selected based on the complete technical requirements profile. In addition to continuous, peak, and holding torque, factors such as speed, installation space, thermal connection, supply voltage, dynamics, sensor technology, and planned production volume also play a role. A single maximum torque value is therefore not sufficient for a reliable motor selection. In the Design Check, these factors are evaluated together.
For which development phase is the Design Check suitable?
The Design Check is particularly suitable for early concept and development phases but can also be used to optimize existing drive concepts. Early consideration makes it possible to coordinate motor, mechanics, thermal aspects, and integration from the outset. This can reduce later adjustments and incorporate technical and economic requirements into the system architecture at an early stage.
What advantages does a Design Check offer for the total cost of the drive?
A Design Check can help take the total costs of a drive system into account at an early stage. Suitable dimensioning and system architecture can, for example, help avoid unnecessary components, overdimensioning, or additional integration effort. Depending on the application, this can reduce manufacturing costs, maintenance effort, or later adjustment cycles and create long-term advantages in the Total Cost of Ownership.
