Operational Improvements
December 11, 2024
PTE will feature a variety of new component technologies online for bearings, motors, couplings, brakes, gear drives, and motion control systems leading up to Hannover Messe 2023 in Germany. First up is a preview of some motor suppliers to check out if you're planning on attending the event online or in-person in April.
Dunkermotoren (Hall 6, Stand B08)
Following the BG 66, BGE5510 and BG 95, the BG 75 brushless DC motor is now also available as a dPro version. With a continuous output power of up to 590 W, peak power of up to 1,700 W, and a peak torque of almost 5.8 Nm, the BG 75 dPro is more powerful than all other versions of the BG 75 series – with a supply voltage of just 24 or 48 VDC. This means more power in the same space, allowing machines to be built even more compact in the future.
The BG 75 dPro the perfect partner in the application fields of logistics, robotics, as well as machine and plant engineering. It can, for example, be used equally in the food, semiconductor, and electronics industries, or can operate as a drive for AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles). Connection and programming are as easy as for all motors of the dPro family and is done either via CANopen or one of the Industrial Ethernet interfaces Profinet, EtherCat or Ethernet/IP. The hybrid connector used for this reduces the cabling effort to a minimum. The motor can then be programmed, controlled, and monitored via the "Drive Assistant 5" commissioning and configuration tool and/or MotionCode.
Cantoni Motor (Hall 6, Stand C22)
High Efficiency low voltage NEMA motors SIE series (in the range from 1HP up to 250 hp) are designed to withstand the most extreme, severe-duty applications (in compliance with the NEMA Premium requirements).
The NEMA Premium efficiency electric motors program refers to single-speed, polyphase, 1-250 horsepower 2, 4, and 6 poles, NEMA Design A or B, continuous rated, squirrel cage induction motors. These motors are designed for long life and reliable operation in most extreme industrial applications. NEMA motors can operate in severe duty applications thanks to heavy-duty, cast-iron construction. Special shaft sealing systems have been applied to increase the level of protection against contaminants.
Faulhaber (Hall 6, Stand B22)
With its DM66200H series, Faulhaber is upgrading performance for motors with internal opening (aperture). As a direct drive, the new hollow shaft motor operates backlash-free and can be integrated into different applications with very limited effort. It achieves performance values in terms of both speed and torque. Its exceptionally wide aperture has a diameter as large as 40 mm. The drive is characterized by low weight and an extremely slim design. Thanks to minimal wear (bearing only), it is ideal for maintenance-free continuous operation.
The DM66200H hollow shaft motor offers a completely new drive solution for applications that require a very large aperture. The rotor runs around the opening and drives the mechanics surrounding this opening directly without the need for a transmission. Due to the design, it is extremely energy-efficient and requires neither a brake nor an encoder.
Despite the large aperture, the moving mass of the rotor remains small, making speeds of up to 2,000 rpm possible. The motor reaches a dynamic torque of up to 180 mNm and can move correspondingly large loads. With a high resolution of 1.8° in full-step mode, it can execute positioning tasks precisely in open loop operation.
Apart from the field of optics - e.g., for microscope stages, apertures, zoom lenses, laser beam controls, etc. - it can be used for impellers and prostheses, in robotics as well as for many different control and positioning tasks. Other potential applications are turntables, antennas as well as air and gas extractors.
Lafert (Hall 6, Stand B25/2)
Smartris is the new complete package solution including gear, servo motor and drive for AGV systems, and combines the extensive technological competences of two companies. Lafert customized solutions for electric motors and drives meet Sumitomo expertise in gears and gearboxes. Both brands have strong reputation respectively in the motor and gear market and in the AGV sector, and with this new integrated package they are offering very competitive advantages and benefits.
HP Combi is two-in-one, an innovative marriage between a permanent magnet synchronous motor and a variable frequency drive. The Combi package combines the IE5 Ultra-Premium Efficiency of the company's permanent magnet synchronous motors with the variable frequency drive (VFD), achieving the highest energy efficiency standards. The range of motors utilizes the technology behind brushless servomotors and asynchronous motors to generate the high torque density that allows up to a 50 percent reduction in size and weight.
Stay tuned for expanded Hannover Messe coverage online and in upcoming issues of Power Transmission Engineering.
