I’m genuinely surprised this is the case, sounds like either budget constraint or bad engineering. Been a MechE for about a decade and worked on a span of critical applications. Either an off the shelf fully package motor from Parker or Schneider electric or a custom setup with a motor, high precision quadrature with harmonic drive run for years. Of course you need some safety code like encoder checks (baked into the off the shelf ones) but the machines I worked on run for years and throughput in the thousands without anything failing. Also worked on industrial gantries. We’ve built delta packaging robots with sub second throughput and those motors never go out of sync after commissioning.
