Slotless Motors For Precision Haptic Feedback

What do Surgeons and Pilots have in common?  Besides holding incredibly important jobs, they rely on precision control systems to be highly effective.

ThinGap’s frameless architecture and smooth, cogless motion make it ideal for force-sensing applications, from flight simulators to surgical robotics. Haptic systems rely on accurate torque feedback, free from mechanical disturbances, to enhance human control.

The TG Series motor kits deliver true force feedback without disruptions, thanks to their ironless design that eliminates hysteretic drag. With near-zero Eddy-current, low hysteresis, and harmonic distortion under 1%, torque output remains directly proportional to current. These features make the TG Series a trusted choice for haptic feedback in surgical robotics and flight simulators.

Modern surgical robotics demand precise, disturbance-free movement for optimal patient care. Zero-cogging motor kits enable accurate haptic feedback and precision actuation. ThinGap’s collaboration with a leading surgical robotics manufacturer underscores its ability to deliver motors tailored to medical industry standards.

Beyond medical use, ThinGap’s motors support aerospace and motorsports simulators, delivering the force sensing needed for immersive training. With near-zero Eddy-current, low hysteresis, and minimal harmonic distortion, ThinGap ensures smooth, reliable motion across various industries.
