Compact drive systems
Little space: Faulhaber expands flat motor series
Faulhaber has expanded its BXT flat motor series to include gears designed for this purpose as well as integrated encoders and speed controllers that are short in the axial direction. This means that the specialist has drive systems in its portfolio if installation space is tight.
Most users do not need individual motors to implement their drive solutions. They are better off with complete drive systems whose individual components are matched to each other. Even if installation space is limited and high-torque drives are required that are as short as possible in the axial direction due to the installation situation, there is now a solution from Faulhaber.
The drive specialist has now also expanded the BXT flat motor series to include gears that are matched to it as well as integrated encoders and speed controllers, which are also short in the axial direction. Typical applications for the compact drive systems include robotics, prosthetic joints, laboratory automation, pumps, medical technology and aircraft cabin equipment.
Thanks to winding technology and optimized design, the motors themselves are only 14, 16 and 21 millimetres long, but deliver torques of up to 134 millimnewton metres with a diameter of 22, 32 or 42 millimetres. For precise speed control or where high positioning accuracy is required, diameter-compliant magnetic encoders or speed controllers are now fully integrated into the housed motor variants, increasing the length of the drive by just 6.2 millimetres. The matching metal planetary gearboxes from the GPT series also offer a short design, high torque and fine gradations of the numerous reduction ratios. as
