HICKSVILLE, N.Y.— For companies developing next-generation robotic systems, partnering with a motion control expert offers a strategic advantage from concept through production.
One such expert is Stock Drive Products/Sterling Instrument (SDP/SI), a Designatronics company. As robotics and advanced automation continue to evolve, SDP/SI highlights the growing importance of tailored motor and gearing solutions to meet the increasingly complex demands of modern robotic systems, according to a release from the company.
“In today’s fast-paced development cycles, robotics engineers must strike the right balance between speed-to-market and system performance,” the release stated. “SDP/SI offers a comprehensive range of standard, configurable, and fully customized motion components to support robotics innovators at every stage of the development process.”
Stock Drive Products/Sterling Instrument, an ISO 9001:2015 and AS9100D registered company, specializes in engineering, manufacturing, and assembly of mechanical and electromechanical subassemblies. The company‘s capabilities include precision gears, high-quality mechanical components, and custom-engineered products.
“With over 100,000 standard inch and metric components available for quick delivery, SDP/SI supports a wide range of design needs,” the company said in the release.
At SDP/SI, standard and configurable motor and gear options provide a clear path to rapid prototyping and early-stage product validation. They reduce engineering time, lower initial investment, and offer modular flexibility through options such as varied gear ratios, encoder configurations, and mounting interfaces, the company said in the release.
For applications requiring maximum torque density, compact dimensions, or integration with specialized designs, custom motor and gearing solutions are essential. The engineering team at SDP/SI works closely with customers to develop systems that deliver superior performance and long-term reliability. While custom solutions may involve longer development timelines and higher upfront costs, the return on investment is realized through enhanced precision, reduced maintenance, and optimized system integration, the company said.
“Robotics companies today are under pressure to innovate quickly while delivering reliable, high-performance systems,” said Designatronics Director of Sales Simon Brazier, in the release. “Our hybrid approach—combining configurable components with customization expertise—enables developers to meet those challenges head-on.”
