Hot new autoclavable Brushless DC motors
EMS is able to supply motors that can survive the rigours of going through a medical autoclave at 135°C, 100% humidity, and a pressure of 2.1 bar.
All the new motors feature ironless rotors with three flat oval copper coils, which rotate in an axially oriented magnetic field, and which have very small moments of inertia.
This design allows high rates of acceleration to be achieved with minimal flutter, and provides complete freedom from cogging.
In addition, the linear characteristics of the motor make it easy to provide accurate speed control.
The low-profile construction of the motors, which vary in thickness from 5.2 to 8.2mm for direct drive types, and from 12 to 19.1mm for types with gearboxes, makes them an ideal choice for use in modern equipment, where minimum overall size is almost always a prime requirement.
All the motors in the range are available in versions to suit 3 and 6V supplies, with many models available to suit other voltages from 2 to 24V.
Recommend maximum operating speeds for direct drive motors are between 5500 and 10,000rev/min, depending on the motor size.
In addition to FTB motors with integral gearing, EMS also offers compatible spur gearheads for many of the motors in the range.
These are available in 20mNm versions with ratios from 19:1 to 4629:1 and in 50mNm versions with ratios from 23:1 to 1443:1. Request a free brochure from EMS ...
