This motor operates from a 24V DC supply, in a temperature in excess of 120°C, to fit into a space less than 1.5in diameter by 6in long.

Small can beautiful; it can also be a serious restriction! The requirement was for a motor to operate from a 24V DC supply, in a temperature in excess of 120°C, to fit into a space less than 1.5in diameter by 6in long and to deliver a minimum of 1Nm torque at 5000rpm Do we hear "not possible?"

It can be done and the American brushless motor design / build company AVEOX have managed it.

Using rare magnetic materials and special steels, Aveox have produced a motor only 1.45in diameter by 4.0in long.

The motor will operate under high pressure and temperature conditions and produces 160in-oz torque at 5500rpm.

The motor technology is three phase brushless DC with Hall effect commutation or sensorless.

The motor can be supplied as a rotor / stator part set or as a full motor.

A two quadrant drive capable of operating in the same environment as the motor is also available.

AVEOX full range can be seen on their web - site at www.aveox.com The motor described is made only to order and to the user's specification.
