maxon motor zero-backlash servo gearmotor

maxon motor has released a servo motor and gearhead combination that can produce 364 Nm with a peak torque rating at the output of 686 Nm. Fitted with both an encoder and a holding brake inside the IP-rated motor’s rear enclosure, the combination can move heavy loads into position and make sure they stay there.

The high acceleration of the brushless DC motor with high-grade neodymium magnets enables a zero to 2600 rpm speed change in under 4 ms. Being both brushless DC and slotless gives the motor zero cogging or position detent for smooth position transitions and low-speed performance.

The solid construction and sealed nature of the motor drive components makes it suitable for mining, food, process control and manufacturing environments. Customisation of the motor and gearhead features is possible and both 24 and 48 VDC supplies can be used. The unit is compatible with standard servoamplifiers and position controllers from maxon motor.
