Maxon Motor Australia has come up with a brushless DC (BLDC) servomotor with zero backlash gearhead for food, process control, and manufacturing environments.

The brake and high-resolution encoder combination drive offers high torque levels without compromising positioning accuracy, according to the company.

It can produce 364Nm with a peak torque rating at the output of 686Nm.

Fitted with both an encoder and a holding brake inside the IP-rated motor’s rear enclosure, the combination of servomotor and gearhead can move heavy loads into position and make sure they stay there.

The high acceleration of the brushless DC motor with Neodymium magnets enables a zero to 2600rpm speed change in under 4ms.

The solid construction and sealed nature of the motor drive components make it suitable for food, process control, and manufacturing environments.

Customisation of the motor and gearhead features is possible, and both 24 and 48V DC supplies can be used. The unit is compatible with standard Servoamplifier and position controllers from Maxon Motor.
