Multi-motor drive

A multi-motor drive is a drive in which individual motors are mechanically coupled in a slip-free manner and jointly drive a single axis. The individual motors generate the same torque at any given time (in terms of value and direction). All motors in a multi-motor drive must be of the same type and must have the same winding data.

For example: Two gearmotors driving a cardan shaft.
