The customer is a world leader in the design, development and manufacturing of a wide range of electronic transmission and drive train control components and systems.

The Challenge

This OEM required a high performance gearmotor assembly for its bus shifter. Their vision was a motor with a “back up” winding inside the armature that could be engaged in the event of a primary winding failure.

The Solution

Their interest started a design cycle that resulted in Groschopp’s first 2-commutator armature motor with custom designed aluminum die-cast gear housing, which met cost objectives even with this unique design. A rigorous 25,000 cycle performance test proved its reliability.

• PM6034 right angle DC gearmotor assembly
• Redundant motor winding for emergency backup
• Unique dual-commutator design
• IP66 rating for harsh environment
• Custom design aluminum die-cast gear housing to bolt directly onto the transmission
