TorqueBank Officially Enters the Frameless Motor Market
TorqueBank has officially entered the frameless motor (frameless torque motor) market, expanding its motion control portfolio to support customized direct-drive solutions for advanced mechanical systems.
Unlike conventional housed motors, frameless motors are designed to be integrated directly into the customer’s mechanical structure. This architecture allows system designers to optimize torque density, space utilization, and overall system rigidity, especially in applications where compactness and precision are critical.
Custom Frameless Motors Designed Around Mechanical Constraints
At this stage, TorqueBank’s frameless motor offering is focused on application-driven customization rather than a fully standardized catalog.
Each frameless motor solution can be developed based on specific customer requirements, including:
-
Outer diameter and axial height constraints
-
Torque and speed targets
-
Voltage range and winding configuration
-
Hollow shaft or cable routing requirements
This approach allows the motor to adapt to the mechanical design — not the other way around.
Current Applications: Robotics and Exoskeleton Systems
TorqueBank’s frameless motors are currently being applied in robotics and exoskeleton products, where direct-drive architectures offer clear advantages over traditional geared solutions.
In robotics joint systems, frameless torque motors enable:
-
High torque density in compact joints
-
Low backlash and improved positioning accuracy
-
Simplified mechanical integration
In exoskeleton applications, frameless motors support:
-
Compact actuator layouts
-
Reduced system weight
-
Smooth and responsive torque output
These applications demand motors that are closely matched to mechanical and ergonomic constraints, making customization a practical necessity rather than an option.
Development-Oriented Collaboration Model
TorqueBank works closely with customers during the early design phase, supporting a development workflow that includes:
-
Definition of mechanical envelope and performance targets
-
Electromagnetic design and optimization
-
Prototype manufacturing and validation
-
Iterative refinement based on system-level feedback
As projects mature, customized designs can be stabilized into dedicated production variants.
