Compact New 28 Volt DC Gearmotor Develops 46 LB-IN. Torque at 50 RPM

Product News Tuesday, March 16, 2010: Midwest Motion Products

Midwest Motion Products of Watertown, Minnesota, is pleased to announce the release of a new DC Gear Motor, with Integral Brake, the Model No. MMP-TM55-36-28V GPk52-046-LS. Accepting any 24-28 Volt DC source, including battery power, this robust, ULTRA QUIET DC Gear Motor measures just 2.2” (max) Diameter, by 7.2 long, and has a keyed output shaft of 0.500” diameter by 1.5” long. Easy mounting is accomplished with 4 “face mount” M5 threaded holes, equally spaced on a 40mm Dia. B.C.

The output of this reversible gearmotor is rated for 46 IN LBS of continuous torque, at 50 RPM, and 89 IN LBS Peak. Despite its compact size, and weight of approximately 3 pounds, it’s an efficient design, requiring just 2.1 Amps at 28 Volts DC to generate its Full Load Torque. That translates into long life battery charge, very LOW NOISE operation, and lower cost drive electronics. Motor windings for 12v, 36v, 48v, 60v & 90 Volts are available. This unit features True Planetary Gearing with a Delrin first stage, which allows for “nearly silent” operation for many interior applications such as TV Screen and Monitor lifts, video surveillance and Camera Pan &Tilt axes of Motion. This unique design is rated at an “IP 54” protection level for operation in harsh environments. Variable Speed can be accomplished with our fully compatible Speed Controls, Model MMP 25A-24V, or MMP 20A-24V-RSP.

Typical options available from the company include Servo Motors with integral Optical Encoders, Failsafe Brakes, Analog Tachometers, and Planetary Gearheads, with standard ratios ranging from 3:1 to 2653:1, and standard or low backlash precision gearing available. Motor Winding Options include 12V, 36V, 48V, 60V and 90 Volts DC.

The company offers a variety of standard ancillary equipment including DC power supplies, DC Servomotors, PWM Servo Amplifiers, Motor Speed Controls, Linear Actuators and a wide variety of DC gear-motors. Custom Motor Shaft and mounting configurations are also available. Typical applications include Battery Operated Motors & Video Lifts, Medical, Mobility / Accessibility products, Robotics & Automation including (Military) Unmanned Guided Vehicles, Semiconductor Processing Equipment, Actuators, Packaging & Labeling Machines, Metalworking Machines, and many other applications requiring precise motion control.
