Crouzet (www.crouzet.com), a world manufacturer of automation control components such as pneumatics, micro motor and micro control products, solid-state relays and sensors, has announced the release of the second generation 150 Watt Brushless DC Motor, which is durable enough to support high loads without operation interruption.

Featuring 150 Watt power, the new three-stage planetary gearbox provides expanded capabilities for applications demanding high torque and speed.

The company’s Model 80199701 gear motor offers variable torques and speeds, as well as maintains a quiet, smooth operation. A part of the 801997 series, the motor improves the company’s output torque to 120 Nm from 25 Nm. With 200 N axial and 1000 N radial, the robust motor easily handles high side loads and lends itself to long life and controllability.

Measuring just 229 mm in length and 81 mm in diameter, the compact motor integrates a shaft extension on the motor’s rear, enabling for brake or encoder. It is offered with one, two or three stage gearboxes, can operate with voltages from six to 75 VDC, and utilizes industry-standard eight-wire connection scheme and hall sensors.

“The use of this brushless DC motors is a logical choice where long life is a concern,” said Jim McNamara, Applications Engineer at Crouzet.

“That combined with the long life gear motor, makes it an excellent solution for many applications,” he added. “Other benefits include reduced noise, increased efficiency and the elimination of brush dust.”
