The feature of inner rotor torque motor is that the rotor is located inside the motor, and the stator is arranged around the rotor. In the torque motor, the bearing is usually used to support the rotor of the motor, to ensure that it can rotate smoothly and accurately.

The encoder 5 is connected to the rotor assembly 3, and when the rotor assembly 3 rotates, the rotation angle of the rotor assembly 3 is collected through the encoder 5. The reading head 6 is connected to the base 1 and is used in cooperation with the encoder 5 to read the angle value of the rotor assembly 3. At this time, the torque motor is an outer rotor torque motor.

[0033] In the embodiment, the type of the roller groove 31 is used to assemble the roller 41 so that the rotor assembly 3, the roller 41 and the bearing outer ring 42 constitute a single row cylindrical roller bearing.
