Video Transcript: Product Spotlight – New BLDC Motors

Hi. I’m Miles Budimer, Motion Control Editor with Design World Magazine. And, I’m here with another product spotlight video. This time we’re featuring Groschopp. So, recently Groschopp has unveiled some new BLDC motors and gearmotor combinations, and I have one, actually, right here. So, I’m going to talk about this briefly, here.

So, these BLDC motors come in two outside square sizes. This one happens to be 73.3 mm. They also come in 90.2 mm sizes. They can come with 12, 24, or 163VDC/115VAC. They can be operated in either variable speed, or torque modes. They feature 120-degree hall effect switches. And actually, you have here, there’s a bundle of wires that I’m playing with here. These are the signal wires, right here. These are the motor power wires here, as well.

The continuance rated speed on these motors is anywhere from 2600 to 3800 rpm, and the continuous rated torque is anywhere from 1.8 to 10.8 inch pounds. As I mentioned already, these are BLDC motors, so they really have no maintenance. The expected life of these motors is anywhere up to 20,000 hours or more. The only limit, naturally, is the bearings, because the bearings do wear out over time. These motors are also totally closed. They’re non-ventilated, as well.

These brushes DC loaders could also work well with several gear box options, that Groschopp has. These can include right angle worm, planetary parallel shaft, or even right angle planetary gear box options.
