Pancake motors are also known as printed armature motors or servodisc motors.
They are commonly used for applications requiring a quick start and stop, zero cogging (smooth running) and / or require accurate and precise control via electronics.
PMW’s flat armature motors differ from conventional DC servomotors by using a unique slotless disc armature design. This enables them to produce a accurate ans sustainable level of performance in both incremental motion and continuous speed that is not possible with conventional iron-core motor designs.
