BEI Kimco Introduces LAT40-48 Limited Angle Torque Motor
Precision positioning and actuation applications require exceptionally smooth motor operation without disruption from cogging. To meet these highly specialized demands, BEI Kimco Magnetics introduced the new BLDC Limited Angle Torque Motor Model LAT40-48.
January 11, 2012 - Precision positioning and actuation applications require exceptionally smooth motor operation without disruption from cogging. To meet these highly specialized demands, BEI Kimco Magnetics introduced the new BLDC Limited Angle Torque Motor Model LAT40-48. The LAT40-48 Motor meets market demand for a zero cogging motor with high peak force in a small form factor package.
The LAT40-48 motor is a limited angle torque motor. The rotor of this motor has no preferred position. These design elements combine to provide a motor that completely eliminates cogging. The result is consistent, extremely smooth performance critical to applications that depend on uninterrupted operation, such as stabilization platforms, scanning and beam steering.
The motor also features a single phase winding that provides easy control - a 30 degree excursion is accomplished with no commutation. Use of rare earth, high energy magnets creates a power density of 10.08 oz-in Watt. Other important performance characteristics include +/- 15 degree stroke, a peak torque of 21.5 Nm, and single phase winding. These high level functions are all packed in a compact 100.0 mm diameter by 100.0 mm stack length size.
As a Brushless DC Motors (BLDC) with fixed magnets, the LAT40-48 offers all the inherent advantages over brushed DC motors, including more torque per weight, more torque per watt (increased efficiency), increased reliability, reduced noise, longer lifetime (no brush and commutator erosion) and overall reduction of electromagnetic interference.
BEI Kimco products have been used successfully in countless applications from high-end Industrial to Military and Aerospace to Medical applications. The ability to provide high performance solutions tailored to the specific needs of the customer has allowed BEI Kimco to fulfill many challenging requirements.
Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
