Where is the next generation of direct drive?


Are there any good DD tables worth looking into? So much progress has been made with belt-drives, I would like to believe a careful re-thinking of DD motors could produce something worthwhile.

Hello everyone,

What a nice thread. I would like to know in which library all those guys that are so critc of DD technology pick up their technical foundations.
IMO they fail to know that our civilization to accomplish its most demanding projects in infinite rotational applications uses DD systems = ALWAYS.
Nanotech., silicon wafer manufacturing, high precision optics, laser systems they all use direct driven technology
with either air or hydrostatic bearings.
