Orbitless Drives Inc.
Orbitless Drive is a platform ideal for electric motor and actuator applications for automotive, eBikes, EVs, Robots and HomeAutomation applications.
|
|
Mechanical gears are the biggest contributor to inefficiency and noise in electric geared motor applications. As motor speeds increase, gear whine becomes more noticeable. The Orbitless Drive platform is a new configuration of gears.
Through the relatively simple change of removing the ring gear in a planetary drive and replacing it with a second carrier, an Orbitless design effectively reduces losses, gear engagement and pitch velocity, resulting in a lower noise, higher efficiency gearhead, without sacrificing torque.
|
What's Innovative About Their Solution?
Orbitless is the first fundamental gear solution in generations with patents granted in U.S., China, and EU, and they have validated lower noise and higher efficiency results against highly-optimized COTS gearmotors.
