Transtecno has unveiled a new range of micro motors which are suitable for intermittent, reversing or continuous operation applications — the Intecno micro gearmotors.

Featuring power ratings ranging from eight watts to 140 watts (intermittent duty), these micro motors have low voltage power supply  of 12 VDC or 24 VDC and are available in five sizes — 35 mm, 42 mm, 52 mm, 65 mm, and 80 mm (diameter).

These compact motors can be easily installed in mounting position and provide coaxial arrangement of input and output. Lubricated with grease, the planetary gearboxes are maintenance-free and are offered with 72 reduction ratios from 3.7:1 for single-stage to 2,076:1 for four-stages.

“Intecno DC micro gearmotors are perfect for many applications where both small dimensions and good performances are required,” said Moreno Ferrari, General Manager at Transtecno.

“These characteristics are important in medical, robotics and electric vehicles. Another popular application is in electric windows or doors where the movement can be done with a small powerful micro gearmotors like these.”

To complete the product line, the company also offers options such as DC motor controls and bearing mounted input shafts.

“Planetary gearboxes were chosen because of the wide range of reduction ratios. We offer 72 ratios from 3.7: 1 (1 stage) to 2076:1 (4 stages) and they are lubricated with grease therefore maintenance-free,” said USA Sales Manager Jon Roetman.

“These planetary gearboxes can be customized to the application due to the possibility of using metal, plastic or material mix versions. The LN (low noise) version is also available, which significantly lowers the gearbox noise.” he added.
