Micro DC Geared Motors
Gear motor features
- Coaxial arrangement of the input and output
- Compact design
- Advantageous torque with minimum space requirements
- Low moments of inertia
- Suitable for continuous, reversing and intermittent operation
- Can be installed in any mounting position
Large selection of ratios
Four different pairings of sun gear and planets provide many ratios per gearbox stage. The modular design provides a total of 72 reduction ratios from i =3.7 up to i = 2076:l. in four stages. Not all reduction ratios are whole numbers.
Service life
Service life largely depends upon the ambient conditions and operating requirements. The correct gear unit for continuous operation can be selected by taking the relevant factors into consideration. For short term or highly intermittent applications consult our experts.
Life-time lubrication
Planetary gearboxes are life-time lubricated with grease in line with their expected performance, and therefore they are maintenance-free. This allows them to be installed practically in any location. The temperature range of each gear unit size is listed in the technical specification sheet. For special applications, measures can be taken for higher temperature ranges.
EC motors
The distinguishing features of D.C. motors in general are their high start torque, which enables them to overcome heavy loads at start-up, as well as a torque/speed ratio suitable for high work loads and to absorb the kickbacks of a variable load. Another important characteristic of the D.C. motor is its density i.e. considerable power and torques are concentrated within a compact size when compared to other types of electric motors.
DC Motor features
- Magnetic field generated by permanent magnets
- Available in 5 sizes: diameter 35, 42, 52, 65, 80 mm
- Low voltage power supply, 12 or 24 Vdc
- Power ratings available from 8 to 140 W S2
Duty cycle
This represents the relationship between the times the motor operates and the time it remains stationary, Continuous operation (S1) = the motor operates non-stop under full load. Intermittent operation (S2, S3, etc.) = alternating periods of work and rest so that the motor can cool down. The output power for continuous operation is lower than that for intermittent operation. If you are unsure which duty cycle you will be operating within please contact our experts?
