Frameless motors adapt to a wide range of design constraints

Port Washington, NY, 12/23/2005 – Technology is forever changing and forcing designers to be able to adapt to their customer’s needs. With a frameless motor the engineer has complete control over their “motor to product” interface by allowing them to position the motor within their product to adapt to their design constraints. Frameless motors eliminate the need for the traditional coupling increasing system stiffness. The frameless kit motors are ideal solutions for machine designs that require high performance in small spaces. The kit motor approach allows for direct integration with a mechanical transmission device, eliminating parts that add size and compliance. The use of frameless kit motors results in a smaller more reliable motor package.

With a frameless motor the designer is essentially using the “guts” of a typical framed motor. The designer is not constrained to the mounting interface and shaft dimensions of the framed motor. The frameless motor offering comes in a wide range of sizes ranging from 32mm to 254mm in diameter providing a continuous torque from 0.04 Nm to 58 Nm.

When to Use:

A significant cost savings. Reduced mechanical complexity. Greater design flexibility. High performance in a compact package. Improved dynamic response and settling. Minimum motor size per application space.

Low cogging for smooth operation.
