Low inertia motors drive motion control
Baldor has launched a new range of brushless servo motors for precision motion control applications, based on rare-earth neodymium iron boron magnets.
The output stage can reduce size substantially compared with all helical or bevel gearing systems, said Baldor, often by as much as 25% or more.
It simplifies equipment design for bulk handling equipment OEMs.
Baldor is also using higher specification bearings than is usual in this market sector, exceeding L10 life standards, to help OEMs to reduce maintenance costs for their users.
The Dodge MagnaGear XTR family offers a choice of eight sizes, rated for output torques from 11,300Nm to 103,950Nm (100,000 to 920,000 lb.in).
A proven planetary output stage is used on the four largest sizes.
Speed reduction ratios from 8.5:1 to 63:1 are available depending on the model and configuration chosen.
The Dodge MagnaGear XTR reducer gearbox complements the Dodge CST (controlled start transmission), which combines a gearbox with a clutch.
It offers just the reducer function - in a highly versatile form.
All Dodge MagnaGear XTR variants can be provided in right angle or parallel shaft configurations to suit the system.
The gearbox can be mounted on four sides.
Baldor told manufacturingtalk that it is typically much more compact than alternative products, simplifying the design of the overall drive system.
Smaller sizes can be supplied with solid or hollow output shafts.
The reducer is also compatible with a variety of soft start mechanisms, including fluid couplings, making it ideally suited to solids and bulk handling applications.
* Rugged design - designed to meet or exceed international and AGMA standards, MagnaGear XTR features a rugged cast iron housing with gearing that is carburised, hardened, and precision ground.
Tandem HBNR (hydrogenated buna nitrile rubber) lip seals are provided as standard for extra protection.
A large range of engineered accessories are available including, internal lift-off style backstops, cooling systems, rigid couplings, torque arms, swing base mounts, tunnel housings, and baseplates. Request a free brochure from Baldor UK ...
