High-speed brushless motor enhances atherectomy procedures for medical device manufacturer
11th July 2023
Atherectomy procedures are one of the most effective ways to remove arterial plaque and improve patient blood flow. When a medical device OEM was searching for an alternative motor manufacturer for its atherectomy tool, it was vital that their new motion partner could optimise performance within the same form factor. With extensive experience providing motor solutions for handheld medical devices, Portescap was rapidly able to develop a customised solution, improving on the OEM’s original requirements.
Understanding the thermal parameters of coreless DC motors
29th June 2023
Compared to iron core motors, miniature coreless DC motors provide advantages including higher efficiency and power-to-weight ratio. This makes them well-suited to applications that demand compact size and low weight; combined with precision control, they are ideal for applications such as medical devices and robotics.
Torpedo launch accuracy optimised by Portescap DC motor
22nd June 2023
Portescap has provided a global defence manufacturer with a brushed DC motor and gear solution to control the accuracy of surface vessel-launched torpedo tubes. Portescap was awarded the contract based on its precise control, compact and low heat motor design, as well as the ability to meet stringent military specifications. Portescap’s engineers worked closely with the defence manufacturer to optimise the customised motion solution.
Motion performance and durability for high-dexterity robot build
15th June 2023
One of the key functions of humanoid robots in industrial applications is to improve efficiency and safety while performing tasks in environments that are arduous or even dangerous, yet require utmost precision in every action. As a result, they are increasingly used in numerous arenas ranging from manufacturing through to healthcare and space research.
Specifying a stepper motor: a guide to the key parameters
25th May 2023
Stepper motors are often perceived as more complex to specify and control compared to BLDC or brushed DC motors. However, their inherent positioning capability, converting electrical pulses to discrete ‘steps’, enables reliable incremental motion. Without the need for an external feedback device, this also aids simpler, and more compact, motion system design.

Die Bedeutung von Charakteristische lastabhängige Drehmomentkennlinien für die Dimensionierung von Schrittmotoren
20th April 2023
Für Markenlieferanten bieten Schrittmotoren Vorteile gegenüber Gleichstrommotoren in Miniaturformat, insbesondere bei kleinsten Anwendungen – von Arzneimittelspendern bis hin zu Druckern und Kopierern, die eine kostengünstige und präzise Positionierung erfordern.
The impact of load on miniaturised motor selection
19th April 2023
When selecting a miniature motor, understanding the different loads acting on the motor is key to achieving the best design. Understanding torque load is essential to define the necessary motor power, while understanding radial and axial loads is required to achieve optimal performance and longevity through the most appropriate motion solution specification.
