Miniature & Specialty Motors

Details

Characteristics

Advantages

Permanent magnet DC design

Essentially linear torque/speed curve, with torque proportional to current and speed proportional to voltage

Ease of speed and position control.

Brushless design

Life is not limited by brush wear but only by wear in ball bearings

Very long life, high reliability, insensitive to environment. No arcing, dust free. Reduced audible and electrical noise

Static winding attached to motor housing

Improved heat dissipation

Overload capability

Slotless configuration

No detent torque

Excellent velocity smoothness

Versions without hall sensor

Typically used in spindle applications

Cost effective. Less sensitive to environment. Only three connecting wires.

Versions with hall effect sensors

Typically used in applications where speed or load variation are needed.

Very simple commutation circuitry.

Versions with encoder or resolver

Typically used in incremental motion.

Very precise speed and position control.
