Miniature motors come with big specifications
A continuous power rating of no less than 70W is offered by 30mm diameter ironless-rotor DC motors in the new 30GT range from miniature motor and gearbox expert Portescap.
NuvoDisc also eliminates the bulk and limited portability inherent in other types of DC motors.
A slotted design is available for applications that require detent torque, such as damper control in the HVAC industry.
Over 75% shorter and 90% lighter than conventional flat motors, Portescap's nuvoDisc technology allows engineers even greater ability to miniaturise their applications without compromising performance.
Offering speeds of up to 50,000rev/min and mechanical power output of up to 30W (10mNm of maximum continuous output torque), nuvoDisc delivers the highest efficiency among all miniature DC motors.
Moreover, nuvoDisc reduces power supply requirements by drawing less current, which minimises generated heat.
"This product is the result of years of experience in the respirator and barcode reader industries, and is engineered to bring benefits to OEMs and end-users alike", explains Jim Munley, Business Unit Director for Brushless DC Technologies at Portescap.
"Manufacturers and marketers of battery-powered portable and handheld devices will benefit from a smaller, lighter and high-efficiency solution resulting in a significant competitive advantage over conventional flat motor technologies".
"Similarly, end-users will benefit from superior comfort and improved portability, while having greater peace of mind resulting from increased efficiency and smoother operation", adds Munley.
The nuvoDisc complements Portescap's brushless DC motor family that encompasses the 16mm BH, 22mm BH, and the 30mm BH brushless DC motors in various stack lengths.
