Portescap expands the newly launched DCT range of Athlonix™ Brush DC motors with the introduction of the 17DCT brush dc mini motor. The 17DCT motor features Portescap’s energy efficient coreless design with an optimized self-supporting coil and magnetic circuit that enables higher performance in a compact 17-mm diameter size.
With high torque carrying capabilities reaching up to 6.14 mNm, the 17DCT provides outstanding performance with efficiency reaching up to 85% while providing a long lifetime. The 17DCT motor can also deliver higher torque per ampere resulting in better battery life. This makes it ideal for demanding applications including medical and industrial pumps, drug delivery systems, and miniature industrial power tools. Other applications include lab automation, security and access and humanoid robots.
Athlonix 17DCT miniature dc motors are available in two variations, precious metal commutation and graphite commutation with a neodymium magnet inside. The unique constant force spring design for carbon brush provides consistent performance. An REE (Restriction of Electro Erosion) coil is an available option, which prolongs the life of the motor and provides an environment of intrinsic safety especially at high-speed conditions.
“Athlonix motors are powered by a proprietary self-supporting coil resulting in maximized magnetic flux and ampere-turns for a given diameter” says Sunil Kumar, Brush DC Product Line Manager at Portescap. “In contrast, typical self-supporting coils have inherent ampere-turns limitations that affect the magnetic flux density in the magnetic circuit, which further limits power output and endurance of the motor”.
Component standardization and design modularity allow quick customization capability for samples across various applications.
Athlonix motors are available with encoders and gearheads of various sizes and ratios. They’re manufactured in an ISO certified facility and are RoHS compliant.
