Portescap Athlonix DC motors

The Portescap Athlonix high power density brush DC motors are compact, high-efficiency, high-endurance motors delivering high speed-to-torque performance in a compact lighter weight package (15-53 g depending on frame size) with output power of up to 9 W.

Athlonix motors feature an energy-efficient coreless design with an optimised self-supporting coil and magnetic circuit, which delivers maximised power density and sustained endurance over the life of the motor. They are available in 12, 16 and 22 mm frame sizes.

The proprietary self-supporting coil results in a maximised magnetic flux and turn-density for a given diameter. In contrast, typical self-supporting coils have inherent turn-density limitations that affect the magnetic flux density in the magnetic circuit, which further limits power output and endurance of the motor. The optimised coil design leads to a low motor regulation factor with energy efficiency approaching 90%, depending on the motor load conditions.

With maximum continuous torque up to 16.5 mNm and high angular acceleration, Athlonix motors deliver higher throughput than comparative motors by quickly and efficiently accelerating to the desired speed. As a result, they are suitable for use in automation applications such as medical analysers and electronic assembly that require constant pick-and-place operations during machining, assembly and scanning.
