Permanent magnet steppers offer easy actuation
12V DC actuators offer advantages in a wide range of applications, such as valve control, antenna adjustment, emission control and in medical and laboratory instruments.
Previously, a permanent magnet motor had been used, which suffered from overheating, and the new requirement was for a cooler running, higher power motor that was also lighter.
The motor is also optimised to provide a higher starting torque, as well as meeting demanding levels of ruggedness in terms of shock and EMC standards.
Its highly customised design incorporates thermal sensors as well as a speed sensor with specialist electronics which is connected to a contactless relay.
Its hollow shaft enables it to be close coupled with the hydraulic pump.
Being rated to IP68, all parts are fully submersible.
Operating from an 18-32V DC supply, the motor is designed to be powered from a motor vehicle and its rugged design makes it ideal for defence and other demanding applications.
