Motors have a major impact on the accuracy and surface quality of machine tools. Key criteria include the motor’s maximum torque, the torque ripple, and the inertia ratio between the motor and its load, all of which are particularly well-matched in the motors of HEIDENHAIN and ETEL.

Slip rings from LTN are found in many applications that require the dependable transmission of data, power and electrical signals from stationary to rotating systems. Electrical performance can range from a few mA or mV to many hundreds of amps or thousands of volts. Applications encompass everything from video image transmission and packaging machines to wind turbines. LTN slip rings can withstand harsh environments, including corrosive, salty air and strong vibration, thereby ensuring reliable operation of the overall system.
