Micro-Drives DC motors were designed to offer a cost-effective solution for challenging OEM applications where reliability and precision are demanded. The miniature DC motors are small, lightweight, and powerful.
Micro-Drives DC motors offer good efficiencies and a high peak load through use of premium ferrite materials and optimized magnet systems. The DC motors are rated in power from 0.34 W to 100 W with mounting options for planetary and spur gearheads with torques up to 10 Nm as well encoders and linear actuators.
DC Micromotors feature: • High precision performance • Low brush contact resistance • Less power required • Graphite commutation achieves extended service life
Standard DC motor options are listed below. Customized DC motors are available. Please contact a Micro-Drives applications engineer for design assistance.
