I have a servo motor acquisition problem, I tend to buy servo motors from eBay just because they are cheap. A recent (ish) acquisition was an NSK Megatorque (RS1010, which means 10" dia and 10" long) This is rated at 147Nm (108 lb f) torque and for an axial load of 9500N (2100lbf) so is quite a bea

I happen to have a disk motor here in my workshop museum that apparently uses the same principle, about 12 cm diam., very flat. It runs without electronics, so I supposed it had brushes inside. The rotor must be also etched from a disk of sheet copper, simply plane, rotating between two rings o

This looks like a wound-up linear drive: high torque because of large radius, but high demand for precision mounting. Very interesting, also for other things than tools and machines (e.g., quick pointing telescope and dome drives). Not shown is the drive electronics - like in the used car ads,
