Choosing a motor for a precision motion application is rarely as simple as selecting a torque or speed rating. Should you use a servo, a stepper, or a brushless DC motor? And how do factors such as inertia, positional accuracy and system integration affect the decision?

The answer can have a major impact on performance, whether you're designing robotic joints, centrifuges or other high-precision systems.

INMOCO explores the principles behind motor selection for precision motion applications, including the trade-offs between different motor technologies and the practical considerations that influence system performance.

For advanced motion systems, performance isn’t only about speed or power. Smooth movement, accurate positioning and dynamic response can be just as critical — especially in applications such as robotics, inspection systems and precision automation.

Celera Motion’s Applimotion direct-drive motors and stages are designed with these priorities in mind, delivering exceptional smoothness, accuracy and dynamic performance across a range of high-precision applications.

When integrating motion systems into robotic joints and compact actuators, feedback must be accurate, lightweight and simple to install – ideally, without adding any needless design complexity.

That’s why Celera Motion’s IncOder CORE inductive encoder’s frameless, through-bore design supports easier OEM integration while delivering high-resolution position feedback in a compact form factor. Non-contact inductive sensing also provides strong resistance to contamination, making it ideal for applications ranging from robotics and AGVs to agricultural automation.

Electric linear actuators now achieve force levels suitable for many demanding applications previously limited to hydraulics, while also reducing maintenance demands, eliminating leak risks and improving controllability. However, oversizing an electric replacement can quickly increase project cost and complexity.

In this article, INMOCO explores the practical side of hydraulic replacement projects, including how to measure real operating forces, avoid common sizing mistakes and specify the most effective electric actuator solution.

If you’re considering upgrading from hydraulics to electric actuation, it’s well worth a read: https://inmoco.co.uk/hydraulic-actuator-replacement-electric-upgrade/

Hydraulic systems have long been the default choice for applications that demand extreme force. Now, though, electric linear actuators are increasingly offering a more precise, efficient and lower-maintenance alternative.

Tolomatic’s RSX50 Extreme Force actuator is designed to meet these high-load demands, delivering up to 445 kN of force while maintaining accuracy, durability and a more compact footprint than comparable hydraulic systems. With features such as planetary roller screw technology, flexible motor mounting options and long-life durability, it opens up new possibilities for applications like metal forming, pressing and heavy manufacturing.

So where do electric actuators now match – or even outperform – hydraulics, and what should engineers consider when specifying them?

In web handling applications, from printing and packaging to textiles, even small changes in tension can lead to defects, waste or machine downtime.

So how do you keep material moving at a constant speed while maintaining precise tension throughout the process? It comes down to how motion is coordinated across multiple axes, from unwind and rewind control to lead/follower drives, feedback sensors and compensation techniques.

In this recent article, we take a closer look at the motion control architecture behind effective web tension systems, including how torque, speed and feedback must work together to maintain stability and product quality.

If you’re involved in designing or optimising web handling machinery, it’s well worth a read: https://inmoco.co.uk/web-tension-control-motion-control-requirements/

How much time does your machine lose to homing routines after power-up?

For many applications, encoder choice has a direct impact on start-up time, positioning accuracy and overall productivity. Multi-turn absolute encoders, such as Kollmorgen’s SFD-M, can retain position even when powered down, removing the need for homing and helping machines return to operation faster.

With high-resolution feedback, integrated design within servo motors, and a battery-free approach that reduces maintenance, this type of encoder technology is becoming increasingly relevant for applications involving long travel distances or frequent stops.

INMOCO takes a closer look at how multi-turn absolute encoders work and where they add value in real-world systems.

Designing compact robotic joints or actuator systems often comes down to a trade-off: how do you maximise torque and precision without increasing size or complexity?

The Celera Motion Omni+ frameless direct-drive motor is one approach to solving that challenge. Combining high torque density, ultra-low cogging and a large through-hole design, it enables smoother motion and simpler integration in applications such as surgical robotics, exoskeletons and mobile automation systems.

But how do these features translate into real-world performance, and what should you consider when specifying them?

Hazardous environments demand specialist motor solutions. Introducing the next generation of ATEX- and IECEx-certified servo motors for hazardous Zone 2 and Zone 22 environments from Kollmorgen.

Engineered for high torque density and precision control, the new range delivers superior responsiveness and spark prevention for low-risk explosive dust or gas environments. The AKME range delivers IP64-rated protection against dust and water ingress without more restrictive Zone 0 or Zone 1 protection.

AKME Series motors offers flexible voltage options for a range of continuous torque applications. The range builds on the AKM design’s proven performance to provide solutions for hazardous environments like pharmaceutical production, food processing, grain elevators and industrial paint booths.

As the UK specialist motion control distributor, INMOCO supplies Kollmorgen’s new AKME Series servo motors individually or as part of a complete matched package with servo drives and motor cables.

Designing motion systems for vacuum environments brings a very specific set of challenges. Space is limited, materials must be carefully selected, and even small amounts of heat or outgassing can have an impact on performance.

Encoders built for these conditions need to be compact, highly accurate and quick to install, without compromising on reliability. Vacuum-rated encoders like Celera Motion’s Mercuryand Mercury II – both available through INMOCO – can deliver nanometre-level resolution, operate in ultra-high vacuum conditions and simplify alignment during installation, helping engineers reduce both design complexity and setup time.
