Modern drive technology combines motors, mechanics, and electronics into a high-performance overall system. Especially in demanding high-tech applications, high torque, precise movements, compact dimensions, and reliable controllability must be brought into harmony.
TQ-RoboDrive develops and manufactures high-torque frameless servomotors for robotics, medical technology, industry, aerospace, and mobile systems. In addition, we support our customers in the selection, design, and integration of our motors into customer-specific actuators and drive solutions. The ILM and ILM-E series are available in various sizes and configurations for this purpose.

From drive technology to the right motor and system solution
Here you will find everything about the technological foundations of our drive technology. The page Motors & Drive Solutions leads from these fundamentals to the specific portfolio.
There you will find the available ILM and ILM-E motors, technical performance data, different motor sizes (diameter and length) combined with various winding configurations, as well as our services in the area of actuators and system integration.
Motors and motor series
With ILM and ILM-E, TQ-RoboDrive offers two frameless motor series for different technical and economic requirements.
The ILM series is designed for particularly high demands on torque density, precision, smooth running, and custom configuration. The ILM-E series is the cost-optimized alternative for scalable applications and higher quantities. It combines high torque density with low weight and standard integrated Hall and temperature sensors.
Actuators & System Integration
An optimally designed motor alone does not yet make a complete actuator. Mechanics, gearing, bearings, sensors, electronics, and heat dissipation must all be considered together.
TQ-RoboDrive supports the assembly, integration, and production of customer-specific actuators. Our Assembly & Integration Service can combine individual components into a coordinated, installation-ready unit.
Design drive technology specifically for your application
Our applications team supports you in finding the right drive technology for your application – from motor series, motor size, and winding configurations to gearbox, sensors, and mechanical and thermal integration. In doing so, we take into account technical requirements as well as quantity, integration effort, and cost-effectiveness.
Electric drive technology includes all components that convert electrical energy into controlled mechanical motion. These include, in particular, the motor, power electronics, sensors, control systems, mechanical transmission, and thermal management. The performance of a drive depends not only on the motor, but also on how well all components are matched to the load and motion profile of the application.
An electric drive system typically consists of a motor, controller or power electronics, sensors, bearings, mechanical structure, and, if applicable, a gearbox. In addition, there are the power supply, wiring, and a suitable thermal concept. In frameless motors, the stator and rotor are integrated directly into the application, allowing designers to match the remaining components particularly flexibly to the overall system.
For compact, precise, and dynamic high-tech applications, brushless servo motors with high torque density are particularly well suited. Frameless servo motors offer additional design freedom, as the stator and rotor are integrated directly into the customer’s mechanism. The specific selection depends on continuous and peak torque, speed, thermal performance, installation space, weight, sensor technology, and planned production volume.
Frameless motors enable compact, application-specific drive systems. Since they are supplied without their own housing, shaft, or bearings, these functions can be assumed by the existing structure of the application. This makes it possible to specifically design installation space, weight, hollow shaft, sensors, and thermal connection. Further information on design and development is available on the Frameless Pioneer page.
Torque density describes how much torque a motor produces relative to its weight or installation space. A high torque density enables smaller and lighter drives with comparable performance. This is especially important in robotics, medical technology, aerospace, and mobile applications, because weight and dimensions affect the dynamics, payload, and energy efficiency of the entire system.
