The Xtreme Torque product line consists of a series of two
phase hybrid step motors. Although these
steppers are versatile enough to be used in a majority of motion control
applications, the Xtreme Torque motors can be especially utilized in
applications where space and torque are invaluable. This step motor series is currently being
used in the following industries: medical,
avionics, semiconductor and printing. The Xtreme Torque series has the potential
to revolutionize the way NEMA 17 motors are being used. In today's marketplace, size is of the utmost
importance. With the unique
manufacturing process of this motor, it produces up to 35 percent more torque
without requiring more space or power. Not only does this greatly increase space
efficiency, it's also a great benefit in terms of energy savings. Engineers can
now reduce the overall size of their machines and decrease energy use at the
same time. Other NEMA 17 step motors assemble the two end caps to the stator in
such a way that space is not fully utilized internally. When space is
compromised, torque output is compromised. The Xtreme Torque series
utilizes every millimeter of space to gain more torque than the standard motor,
without increasing the overall length of the motor. Maximizing the real
estate within the motor allows for the addition of more rotor laminations, and
since torque is directly proportional to the rotor length, that is how the
increase in torque is generated.
Almost every automaker has had to 'pick a side' when it comes to alternative fuel options and ways to divest from a reliance on gasoline. Fiat is looking to back compressed natural gas or liquid propane as an interim solution.
Designing and filling a new type of water bottle might take less engineering work, but the description will help kids understand how science, math, and engineering influence their lives even through things that seem mundane.
Against a backdrop of mounting product complexity and a need to keep a lid on development costs, companies are recognizing a need to make simulation a more integral part of the design process. In response, vendors in the CAD world are building out CAE functionality as part of their CAD suites while simulation vendors are building tighter integrations to leading CAD tools. Keith Meintjes, Ph.D., Practice Manager, Simulation and Analysis at CIMdata, Inc., joins Design News CAD Editor Beth Stackpole in this radio program to explore the new face of integrated CAD and CAE, how companies are benefitting from this tighter partnership between platforms, and how integrating CAE earlier in the development cycle pays off in optimized product designs.
