Custom parallel-shaft geared motors and drives from ABM Drives

ABM Drives offers compact parallel-shaft motor and drive designs for small spaces and quiet running requirements. Precision-ground gearing provides for low noise and extended life. Tight-fitting housing covers and flanges prevent distortions that can amplify noise. Aluminum housings absorb harmonics and other vibrations better than cast iron.

Typical applications include crane hoist travel drive units; biomass-heating auger drives; and warehouse logistics that require dynamic response, low vibration, and maintenance-free operation. The FG series offers two motor and drive lines to get different speed and precision outputs:

The PROFI-LINE offers two travel speeds. Pole-switching motors (8/2-pole) with specially designed windings and rotors allow for safe soft start. Typical applications are the low-vibration transport of sheet metal and coils or handling of cases, containers and components in assembly lines.

The AUTOMATION-LINE is designed for variable speeds. For inverter use, four-pole motors can be operated with an 87 Hz-characteristic. Acceleration and deceleration ramps can be adjusted individually via the controller. The exceptionally soft start and braking characteristic of the drive units minimize load swings. AUTOMATION-LINE drive units are especially suitable for use in the glass industry, handling of paper coils or insertion of molds or other large tools.

The motor is either a one or three-phase asynchronous motor. The SINOCHRON motor comes with a rated output of 0.03 to 7.5 kW; torque of 50 to 2,300 Nm; and output speed of 2.2 to 400 rpm. It has a ratio of 6.96 to 2,022 and frequency of 50 or 60 Hz.

The motor runs at variable speed under inverter operation; pole count is 2 to 8 poles; protection class is to IP66; and there are mounting options for flange and slip-on gear versions … or four-point mounting.
