Gearbox assembly joins the circus
One of Empire Magnetics' custom motor gearbox assemblies has made its way into show business as an unnoticed yet essential co-star in "O" by Cirque du Soleil at Bellagio in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Bearing lubricant vapour pressure is below 10e-6 Torr at 100C.
The VC series are available as stepper, hollow-shaft, brushless servo or rotor nut motors.
They are also available in a variety of frame sizes to provide long life and reliable operation in various commercial grade vacuum applications.
Examples include metal casting, assemblies welding, and forming applications where motion components are incorporated into the moulds.
In these applications, where outgassing and contamination are not critical factors, Empire's lower cost VC grade products are ideal.
Vacuum-rated stepper motors or servo systems can reduce mechanical complexity and increase system uptime in transport systems that are commonly used in applications with vacuum ovens and vacuum deposition systems.
In addition to greater reliability, such systems typically provide greater accuracy and throughput than alternative designs.
