Electronically commutated motors

Brushless, electronically commutated motors have a higher service life than brush motors. The commutation electronics are integrated in the new EC-max 16 2-wire motor which is only 16 mm in diameter, 33.5 mm long and has a nominal output of 5 W. The reduction to two connection wires allows brush motors to be directly replaced.
The stainless steel motor housing, when combined with the metal flanges, provides a high degree of temperature stability, good heat elimination and shielding against electrical fields.
The integrated electronics allow direct control with an operating voltage of between 5 and 15. The motor turns proportionate to the applied voltage with the relevant speed in a given direction. The electronics have protective circuits to protect the motor against polarity reversal, overheating, axle blocking and undervoltage.
With a nominal output of 5 W, the motor generates continuous torque of up to 3.4 mNm. A 16 mm diameter planetary gearhead can be added to increase inertia up to a maximum of 0.3 Nm. The motor can be used in any application where a long service life but simple and compact controls are required in the same size product eg, handheld tools or space-saving automation systems.
