direct drive

Direct drive is a type of mechanical system where a motor connects directly to a machine's moving part without any intermediate components like gears or belts. This setup allows energy to transfer efficiently, reducing energy loss and typically resulting in smoother, more precise operation. It simplifies design, minimizes maintenance, and often improves accuracy. Commonly used in high-performance applications such as robotics, machinery, and turntables, direct drive systems benefit from fewer moving parts, which can enhance durability and longevity while providing better control over movement.
