Motors and drive solutions From the motor kit to the finished actuator

TQ-RoboDrive offers drive solutions at different integration levels. These include stator-rotor kits from the ILM and ILM-E series as well as custom actuators as part of the Assembly & Integration Service. Depending on the project, TQ supplies individual drive components or additionally takes care of motor integration, component procurement, assembly, testing, and quality assurance through to a ready-to-install actuator.

A motor kit consists essentially of a stator and rotor, whereas an actuator contains additional mechanical and electronic components. These may include a housing, shaft, bearings, encoder, sensors, brake, and gearbox. An actuator is therefore a self-contained drive unit.

The ILM series is the premium solution for the highest requirements in precision, dynamics, smooth running, and thermal load capacity. Its stator is fully potted. The ILM-E series is cost-optimized, manufactured with a higher degree of automation, and especially suitable for scalable applications. It features an unpotted stator as well as built-in Hall and temperature sensors as standard. Selection is based on the application, integration, and quantity.

A motor kit is suitable for customers who want to integrate the stator and rotor into their own mechanics and design the housing, shaft, bearings, and sensor technology independently. The Assembly & Integration Service is useful when TQ should additionally procure components, assemble the motor, or manufacture the complete actuator. The appropriate scope of services depends on the existing development expertise, the project phase, and the planned production volume.

Yes, selected TQ-RoboDrive standard motors can be configured and ordered directly in the shop in quantities of up to 50 units. Available options include the combinations of stator outer diameter and iron length, optional Hall and temperature sensors, as well as four winding configurations: Delta Parallel, Delta Serial, Star Parallel, and Star Serial. Further customer-specific requirements are agreed individually and cannot be ordered through the shop.

Yes, TQ-RoboDrive supports customers in the free Design Check with selecting and integrating the right motor. Factors considered include, among others, frame size, motor length, winding, torque, speed, installation space, thermal connection, sensor technology, and gearbox. It is also checked whether a standard motor, a custom motor kit, or a more fully integrated actuator is suitable for the application.

Yes, TQ-RoboDrive can support drive projects through to series production, depending on the agreed scope of services. The Assembly & Integration Service can include design review, component procurement, motor integration, assembly, testing, quality assurance, packaging, and delivery. The customer design remains the basis throughout. TQ provides particular support in transferring a developed actuator concept into a stable and scalable manufacturing process.
