Small motors overcome space restriction
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?"

Brushless DC motors aimed at sub-sea vehicles
Aveox has introduced a range of Hall commutated motors and drives which are finding applications for sub-sea vehicles, where motors need to be unaffected by possibly high temperatures and contaminants
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.
