Miniature gearmotors for miniature power transmission
Mclennan Servo Supplies has launched what it describes as a low cost miniature brushed dc gearmotor from its Italian distribution partner Micro-Motors.
The B138F features a durable spur gearbox in a 34mm diameter moulded plastic housing with three point mounting built in for straight forward installation. With an overall length of 37.5mm, a range of standard reduction ratios are available from 12.25:1 to 1470.82:1, with maximum output torque from 1.5 to 50Ncm.
The gearmotor incorporates a 20N radial shaft loading with axial shaft load to 5N. Steel housed gearbox versions are also available.
Available in a choice of 6 or 12V dc and with vdr interference suppression included, the motor includes precious metal brushes and flying leads for flexible installation. Alternative windings for application optimised performance are also available.
Mclennan has an active stock program for popular ratios and voltage ratings across the range and provides a custom design service to build the B138F into complete mechatronic solutions complete with drives, motion controls and custom designed mechanics.
