C & CH Series CARTRIDGE DDR Motors
Kollmorgen CARTRIDGE DDR Direct Drive Rotary Servo Motors

CARTRIDGE DDR direct drive rotary servomotors represent a completely new category of direct drive technology that combines the performance advantages of frameless direct drive motors with the ease of installation of a full-frame motor, and at a significantly reduced price point than conventional direct drive technology.
CE marked and UL listed for global application, CARTRIDGE DDR motors feature pre-engineered components, an integrated, factory-aligned high resolution feedback device and a unique bearing-less design that facilitates "mount and run" operation in under than 30 minutes - compared to weeks, or even months, of design and integration time common to existing frameless direct drive systems. CARTRIDGE DDR motors also feature an advanced electromagnetic design that provides up to 50% more torque density than comparably sized conventional servomotors.
Conventional servo systems typically include a number of mechanical transmission components that limit the performance and reliability, and drive up costs of operation of these systems. CARTRIDGE DDR motors eliminate all mechanical transmission parts resulting in:
- Simplified installation (less than 30 minutes) just mount motor and connect cables
- Increased machine uptime by virtue of maintenance-free operation
- Quieter operation by eliminating the transmission (up to 20db reduction)
- Increased accuracy (up to 50 times greater)
- Zero maintenance - no life-cycle cost
