New equipment launched at Process Expo highlights energy efficiency
Brother Gearmotors showcased its new line of Brushless DC electric gearmotors at Process Expo in September. The gearmotors are cost-effective, compact and long-lasting. They offer several advantages over brushed DC motors, including being virtually maintenance-free, lubricated and sealed for life. They are extremely configurable with several shaft configurations, and custom options are available. They are also highly efficient, which is further enhanced with quiet helical and hypoid gearing. The brushless motors are designed to work with an OEM’s own design drive or standard brushless drives from Brother with features such as adjustable acceleration, deceleration, open- or closed-loop operation, current-limiting and other performance and safety features.
