Compact geared motor is ideal for repeatable positioning and reversing tasks in applications where space is at a premium.
The Framo Morat Compacta slip-on geared motor is well named as it is ideal for applications where space is at a premium and they are designed for repeatable positioning and reversing tasks.
Models in the range are up to 10kg lighter than nearest competitors with the same output torque and speed.
The Compacta also provides 22 output speed options in comparison with the maximum of three available on alternatives and its motor choices offer a wide range of power and duty cycles.
The design's integral and easily adjustable mechanical limit switch contributes to the product's exceptional flexibility with a speed range 0.9 to 193rev/min and output torques from 6 to 600Nm.
The range can also be equipped with ESA electronic limit switches with up to 10 setpoints and two end positions.
These are easy to programme, provide an absolute encoder signal and therefore ensure precise positioning and repeatability.
The modular design of Compacta allows easy customisation from standard parts.
Its additional integrated features include choices such as brake, slip clutch, potentiometer, hand crank, encoder etc.
This design flexibility differentiates the Compacta from other models and greatly extends its scope of application from heavy duty material handling to semiconductor production equipment in clean room conditions.
As each Compacta can be optimised for its specific task it is easy to install and there is generally no need for additional drive components.
The smaller dimensions and the low weight of Compacta are achieved by the use of a spur and worm gear transmission combined with performance-optimised motors; the transmission is also exceptionally quiet.
Framo is a market leader in the production of worm gears and its products and systems are the preferred choice of many OEMs in the printing and textile machinery sector.
Four standard models complete the Compacta range offering torques up to 600Nm.
Higher torques, IP65 rating and explosion-proof ATEX 95 are also available.
The Compacta series is designed for reliable operation under extreme heat, dust and moisture and models in the range are already in use in wider Europe in applications such as sheet metal forming, materials handling, food processing and electronics production.
This highly flexible product is now available in the UK via sole UK representative RA Rodriguez.
