Advantages of frameless motors

With our frameless motors, you can set new standards in your industry and clearly set yourself apart from the competition. Find out more about the advantages of our frameless motors here.

Frameless motors for robotics

Maximum performance with minimum weight - our frameless servo motors have been specially developed for the requirements of robotics. Thanks to their properties, TQ frameless motors enable compact, efficient and powerful integration into robots with multiple axes - without compromising on payload and dynamics.

The Right Partner for Series Production

Norbert Sporer, CEO of Sensodrive, is confident that even ten years from now, he’ll still be sourcing motors from TQ – and continuing to celebrate successes together with the sustainably grown family business.

Sensodrive – Complete Drive Solutions for Robotics

Sensodrive relies on TQ’s high-performance frameless servo motors to develop the world’s lightest, most compact, and most sensitive robotic joint. Watch the full success story in the video.

Dynamics and Precision – Redefined

Our servo motors enable highly precise motion through excellent smooth running and minimal torque ripple. The lightweight rotor design reduces inertia, significantly enhancing the system’s dynamics.

From Frameless Motor to Complete Drive Solution

TQ supports you throughout the entire process – from selecting the right servomotor to integrating it into a custom housing, all the way to a complete drive unit with gearbox and power electronics.

Compact, Lightweight Servo Motors

At TQ-RoboDrive, our mission is to help customers optimize their products with advanced motor technology – enabling maximum efficiency and a true competitive edge. Viktor Tzivnev shares insights into our drive systems that set new standards in weight, performance, and efficiency.

Maximum Design Freedom

The compact, frameless design of our servo motors enables direct integration into your application. This saves space, increases flexibility, and opens up new possibilities for optimizing your products – whether in robotics, industry, aerospace, or medical technology.

Success Story: TUfast Eco

The TUfast Eco Team at TU Munich is renowned for its cutting-edge vehicle concepts and record-breaking energy efficiency. For the development of their ecological prototypes, they rely on frameless servomotors from TQ-RoboDrive. With this technology, the team even broke the world record for the longest distance ever driven by a car on a single battery charge: 2,573.79 km.

Interview with Sensodrive

Sensodrive's SensoJoints set new standards in the development of cobots and medical robots. With these complete drive systems, companies can implement technically advanced robotics solutions faster and more cost-effectively.

TQ-RoboDrive at the RoboBusiness Conference & Expo

TQ's frameless torque motors are ideally suited for humanoid robots and cobots due to their compact, lightweight design, large hollow shaft, and excellent power density. Together Synapticon and Sensodrive, TQ presents a complete robot drive solution at the RoboBusiness Conference & Expo in California. David Hastings from TQ USA highlights in the video how these innovations will drive the future of robotics.

Success Story: StarkStrom Augsburg e.V.

Since 2022, the Formula Student team StarkStrom Augsburg has been relying on TQ's high-performance frameless motors to perfect their autonomous race cars. The brushless DC motor forms the heart of their autonomous steering drive. In 2023, the team secured 1st place in the Driverless category at the Formula Student East competition—a clear testament to the exceptional performance and reliability of TQ motors.

RobCo x TQ: Modular Industrial Robots with Frameless Servo Motors

Paul Maroldt, Co-Founder and Head of Robot Engineering at Munich-based robotics startup RobCo, speaks with Robert Vogel, Sales and Business Development Manager at TQ, about the benefits of TQ's exceptionally lightweight and powerful frameless servo motors. He explains why these servo motors are the perfect fit for RobCo's modular industrial robots.
