DDRI-180-055 Direct Drive Rotary Motor
High Torque · Precision Positioning · Zero Backlash
Ⅰ. Product Overview
The DDRI-180-055 from W-Robot is a high-torque direct drive rotary motor developed for industrial automation, robotics, and semiconductor manufacturing applications that demand high accuracy, rigidity, and smooth motion.
Featuring a large 180 mm frame size and 55 mm body height, this motor offers superior torque output and dynamic response. Its direct-drive structure eliminates the need for mechanical transmission elements like gearboxes, delivering zero backlash, no wear, and instantaneous torque transmission. The integrated high-resolution encoder provides micron-level precision, ideal for motion control systems requiring superior stability and repeatability.
The DDRI-180-055 combines high torque density, low cogging, and excellent thermal management, making it a premium solution for precision rotary tables, robotic axes, and high-performance positioning systems.
Ⅱ. Technical Features
Direct Drive Design: Ensures zero backlash and no mechanical wear, enhancing precision and longevity.
High Torque Output: Continuous torque up to 15 Nm, peak torque over 45 Nm, enabling heavy-load and dynamic operations.
High-Resolution Encoder: Built-in absolute or incremental encoder for sub-micron positioning feedback.
Low Cogging & Smooth Rotation: Optimized magnetic circuit ensures consistent torque ripple suppression.
Compact but Powerful: 180 mm diameter frame with optimized weight for easy integration.
Maintenance-Free Operation: No belts, gears, or lubrication needed.
Flexible Mounting: Suitable for both vertical and horizontal orientations; customizable shaft configuration.
Thermal Efficiency: Integrated cooling channel ensures continuous operation under high duty cycles.
Ⅲ. Application Fields
The DDRI-180-055 Direct Drive Rotary Motor is widely used in high-precision and high-load applications such as:
CNC rotary tables and indexing systems
Semiconductor wafer alignment and inspection platforms
Robotic base and rotary joints for heavy-duty automation arms
Optical positioning and scanning equipment
High-accuracy measuring and metrology systems
Assembly and dispensing machinery requiring fine torque control
This model’s rigidity, torque density, and dynamic stability make it ideal for automation systems where accuracy, speed, and efficiency must coexist.
Ⅳ. Model Selection & Customization
W-Robot supports a full range of customization and configuration options for the DDRI series:
Torque and inertia adjustment based on application dynamics
Encoder signal type (incremental / absolute / multi-turn absolute)
Shaft type: solid, hollow, or through-bore for cable/pneumatic routing
Custom flange, connector orientation, and mounting interface
Optional integrated servo drive and EtherCAT / CANopen communication support
Cooling configuration: natural convection or forced air cooling
2D/3D CAD files and detailed performance charts available upon request
Ⅴ. Product Advantages
Zero backlash ensures pure torque transfer and ultra-smooth motion
High torque density in a compact housing
High dynamic response for rapid acceleration and deceleration
No mechanical wear, extending service life and reducing downtime
Excellent thermal stability, maintaining performance under heavy load
