Brushless DC motor capable of handling high side loads
A 42mm diameter outer rotor, brushless DC motor with an integrated drive has been announced by Allied Motion Technologies. Compact, the KinetiMax 42 has a robust bearing system capable of handling high side loads and has a minimum operating life of 20,000 hours. The KinetiMax has an integrated speed control loop with speed set input to adjust motor speed from 150-5,000 RPM.
The external rotor and iron-core stator minimise cogging and maximise output torque. The higher inertia of the outer rotor design enables a smoother running motor even at low speed.
The KinetiMax 42 is equipped as standard with thermal overload protection with automatic recovery, and reverse supply voltage protection. KinetiMax 42 offers a cost-effective solution for applications including smaller capacity pumps, fans and blowers, scanners, and similar applications that require smooth fixed or variable speed control.
KinetiMax 42 highlights include:
- 70mNm rated torque and 31W output at 4,300 RPM
- Six wire version with tachometer output (18 pulses per rev) for speed monitoring, speed input and direction input
- Choice of 12 or 24VDC winding
- IP54-rated protection
- Low EMI (complies with EN55014-1/2, 61000-6-1/3)
- Options include customised shaft, mounting flange, leads and connector configurations, and special winding voltage rating.
