New 24 Volt DC Planetary Gearmotor

Product News Monday, December 24, 2012: Midwest Motion Products

Midwest Motion Products of Watertown, Minnesota, is pleased to announce the release of a new DC Gear- Motor, Model # MMP-TM40-285D-24V GP42-04.3 - Accepting any 24 Volt DC source, including battery power, this robust Gear Motor measures just 1.65” (max) Diameter, by 5.41” long and has a keyed output shaft of 8mm diameter by 25mm long. Easy mounting is accomplished with 4 “face mount” M4 threaded holes, equally spaced on a 36mm Dia. B.C. or an optional NEMA17 Flange, is also available.

The output of this fully reversible gearmotor is rated for 3 IN-LBS continuous torque, at 986 RPM, and 53 IN-LBS (6 Nm) Peak Torque. Despite its compact size, and weight of approximately 1.5 pounds, it’s an efficient design, requiring just 1.8 Amps at 24 Volts DC to generate its Full-Load Torque. This translates into long battery charge, very LOW-NOISE operation, and lower cost drive electronics. Motor windings for 12v, 18v, 28v, 36v, 42v, 48v, 60v & 90 Volts are available.

• 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.

Samples are available FROM STOCK MATERIALS for rapid prototyping needs. Contact our Sales Offices for immediate prototype Shipments. BUILT IN USA!

Typical options available from the company include:

Servo Motors with integral Optical Encoders

Failsafe Brakes, Power-On Brakes, Analog Tachometers

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, 18V, 24V, 28V, 36V, 42V, 48V, 60V and 90 Volts DC.

MMP 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, with volume orders.
