maxon motor has unveiled a new addition to its range which it believes will be one of the most powerful, versatile and robust dc motors in the world. The RE 50, with its 200W power output, delivers amongst the highest levels of nominal torque for its size: up to 0.38Nm from a drive measuring just 50mm diameter by 108 mm long.
This remarkable performance is achieved by a two-pole Neodymium permanent magnet, combined with four different versions of maxon’s patented winding technology.
The “heart” of the RE 50, as with all mechanically communicated maxon motor drives, is the unique ironless rotor which provides exceptionally smooth running due to its minimal inertia.
Low nominal voltage (24…70Vdc), an operating efficiency of over 90%, and market leading power density all make the RE 50 an obvious choice for advanced battery-powered applications such as electric tools, transport and logistics equipment, mobile systems and robotics.
Meanwhile, the well proven maxon modular system means the versatile new drive is instantly compatible with maxon’s gearhead, encoder and control systems; creating compact, high performance drives suited to applications in automation, mechanical engineering or medical technology.
The motor contains pre-loaded bearings which reduce vibration and offer quieter running for a longer service life. Combined with its integral graphite brushes, maxon believes the new motor to be its most rugged and robust ever.
