The Motion Stack<\/h2>\n\n

Novanta\u2019s 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.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n

Force\/Torque Sensors<\/h2>\n\n

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.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n

Motors<\/h2>\n\n

High\u2011torque, frameless motors engineered for seamless integration into compact, high\u2011performance systems. Designed to maximize power density, efficiency, and design freedom, they enable lighter, smaller, and more responsive motion solutions without compromise.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n

Encoders<\/h2>\n\n

Precision sensors designed to deliver reliable, high\u2011quality data in demanding environments. Our sensor portfolio combines accuracy, speed, and robustness\u2014enabling confident control, monitoring, and automation across a wide range of industrial and high\u2011performance applications.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\n

Servo Drives<\/h2>\n\n

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\u2014whether maximizing throughput, efficiency, or machine reliability.<\/p>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
