Would your application benefit from reduced shaft play, or does your application require an end effector? ORCA motors' freely rotating shaft design can provide several benefits, such as reduced friction and wear, the ability to unlock additional degrees of freedom, and more. However, other applications benefit from immobilizing the shaft during operation. This application note outlines various strategies to stop shaft rotation.
