ETEL Torque Motor Now Available in North America
December 1, 2014
ETEL's ironcore TMB torque motor series is now available through exclusive distribution by HEIDENHAIN Corporation in Schaumburg, IL.
The TMB motor series is designed to handle applications when high torque is required. "The caged-structure design enables liquid cooling for heat dissipation and increases its continuous torque past what could be done otherwise. The TMB series also utilizes ETEL's patented design, which minimizes the force ripple while maintaining the high-torque density that other anti-cogging designs sacrifice. This will ensure a smooth motion no matter what the speed," said a company spokesperson.
The TMB series comes in 50 standard model sizes with different windings for performance depending on how much torque, current and speed is required. According to the company, TMB motors can achieve a peak torque of up to 31,200 Nm and achieve speeds of up to 4,500 RPM. According to the company, it also has the option of coming with ETEL's IMTHP thermal module which, when coupled with ETEL's torque motors, enables users to reduce their amount of safety margins while receiving precise temperature monitoring. ETEL torque motors are compatible with most CNC controllers.
"The TMB series is designed specifically for direct drive applications and offers the following advantages over transmission based devices:
- Fewer parts requiring lower overall costs
- Stable performance along the machine's lifetime due to zero maintenance being required
- No backlash, allowing for better accuracy and repeatability
- Smooth, precise and efficient motions
- Compact design."
"It is standard for all ETEL motor perfomance data sheets to list its specifications at its highest operating temperature so that no special design is required to reach them, ensuring that the user is able to utilize every bit of power that the motor is capable of producing," said the spokesperson.
