Stainless Motors for deep sea and marine uses
Empire Magnetics introduces stainless steel waterproof motors are available in three frame sizes with minor dimensional increases for deep sea and marine applications
High energy, gamma radiation particles will attack nonmetallic materials in a motor, and lubricants, varnish, lamination bonding, and cable insulation will all deteriorate over time and finally crumble.
These motors are constructed with the best available radiation-resistant materials to assure the longest possible service life in a radiation environment.
RH series servomotors are available in four standard frame sizes, with custom sizes available on request.
Across standard frame sizes, these motors are available with continuous output torque ranging from 1.7 to 46Nm or momentary peak torque from 3.4 to 113Nm.
They are available with rotor inertia from 3 to 671kg-mm2, and continuous output power of 700 to 7800W.
RH series brushless servomotors are rated for a total accumulated dose of 200Mrads as standard, with ratings to 1Grads available on a custom basis.
Additional custom radiation-hardened solutions are available including AC induction motors, assemblies and complete RH motion control systems.
