DDRE-170-125 Direct Drive Rotary Motor
Ultra-High Torque · Large Hollow Shaft · Precision Motion for Advanced Automation
Ⅰ. Product Overview
The DDRE-170-125 from W-Robot is a large-aperture, high-torque direct drive rotary motor built for industrial applications that demand extreme accuracy, smooth torque output, and rigid mechanical performance. With an outer diameter of 170 mm and a large 125 mm hollow shaft, this model provides unmatched flexibility for integrating cables, vision systems, or pneumatic tubing directly through the motor center—making it ideal for robotic joints, indexing tables, and semiconductor handling systems.
Leveraging a direct-drive structure, the DDRE-170-125 eliminates gear backlash and mechanical losses, achieving zero transmission error, high dynamic response, and exceptional rotational precision. It’s optimized for equipment that requires quiet operation, long life, and minimal maintenance, all while delivering high torque density and superior stiffness.
Ⅱ. Technical Features
Direct Drive Mechanism: Eliminates mechanical backlash and transmission loss, ensuring lifetime precision.
125 mm Large Hollow Shaft: Simplifies integration for cable routing, cooling lines, or optical components.
High Torque Density: Advanced electromagnetic design provides powerful torque with low heat output.
Ultra-Smooth Motion: Cogging-minimized design for stable performance at ultra-low speeds.
Precision Feedback: Supports high-resolution absolute or incremental encoders.
Compact, Robust Frame (Ø170 mm): Ideal for tight-space installations and robot joint applications.
Maintenance-Free: No gears or belts; completely silent and lubrication-free.
Ⅲ. Application Fields
