maxon unveils newly toughened 200W and 250W high-performance motors
maxon motor has expanded its range of motors for tough working environments, by releasing industrial versions of its popular RE 50 and RE 65 units, along with a new AB 44 permanent magnet brake.
With outputs rated at 200 and 250 watts respectively, the two brushed DC motors have been upgraded to meet the challenging IP54 protection rating for dirt and splash proofing.
Each one boasts a sealed aluminium housing and PG cable fittings, while the shaft is secured with a radial seal. Between them, the motors offer operating speeds of up to 9,500 rpm, with efficiency in the region of 85-90%.
Meanwhile, the new AB 44 mounted brake is similarly IP54 rated.
It is able to operate comfortably at temperatures from -30 to +100°C, with validation for even wider ranges available upon request.
This, combined with its 2.5 Nm of braking torque, make the AB 44 an obvious choice for applications requiring impressive performance under harsh conditions.
maxon motor UK chief executive Angelo Guttoriello said: "Combining high power density and extreme efficiency with the new IP54 protection rating makes these motors an obvious choice for use in hardworking industrial equipment, such as automatic dispensing machines, handling and packaging machinery, as well as in battery-operated applications such as electric vehicles."
Further information on the new RE 50 and RE 65 industrial versions. as well as maxon's complete range, is available in the maxon online catalogue.
