The Motion Stack
Novanta’s Motion Stack is a unified, “full-stack” motion control architecture designed to eliminate compatibility hurdles and accelerate the development of next-generation robotics. By harmonizing high-performance hardware – servo drives, force/torque sensors, frameless motors, optical and inductive encoders – the Motion Stack provides a seamless, integrated ecosystem from the controller to the actuator.
Force/Torque Sensors
Highly accurate force and torque sensors engineered for real-time feedback and control. Designed for robotics, automation, and research, they deliver precise multi-axis measurement, low noise, and robust performance where accuracy and repeatability are critical.
Motors
High‑torque, frameless motors engineered for seamless integration into compact, high‑performance systems. Designed to maximize power density, efficiency, and design freedom, they enable lighter, smaller, and more responsive motion solutions without compromise.
Encoders
Precision sensors designed to deliver reliable, high‑quality data in demanding environments. Our sensor portfolio combines accuracy, speed, and robustness—enabling confident control, monitoring, and automation across a wide range of industrial and high‑performance applications.
Servo Drives
High-performance servo drives designed for precision motion control in demanding applications. Our drives combine fast response, advanced control algorithms, and broad motor compatibility to deliver smooth, accurate motion—whether maximizing throughput, efficiency, or machine reliability.
Motors
Frameless Motors
High-torque density and ultra-low cogging motors designed for seamless integration into compact robotic joints and surgical tools.
Integrated Stepper Motors
All-in-one solutions to simplify machine building, reduce wiring, and enhance reliability in a wide range of high-tech applications.
Sensors
Optical Encoders
The peak of precision, providing nanometer-level resolution in a lightweight, low-profile form factor.
Inductive Encoders
Robust, non-contact, inductive angle encoders for high-precision for extreme environments. Dust, moisture, or extreme temperatures.
Force / Torque Sensors
High-resolution and precise multi-axis force sensing, providing the “sense of touch” in the most compact form factors.
