INTRODUCTION
1.1. Product
Overview
The BM/BMS series motors can replace standard brushless or brush-type motors when
superior velocity smoothness and control, and higher acceleration are required. Higher
acceleration results in higher machine throughput and performance.
Features:
•
50% more torque than brush DC servo motors
•
15 times the acceleration than brush DC servo motors
•
33% shorter length than brush DC servo motors
•
Low to no maintenance
•
top speeds up to 10,000 RPM
•
a rated speed up to 4,000 RPM
•
available with optional brake, front shaft seal, and gear reducers
•
available in standard NEMA frame sizes
•
choose encoder/HED or resolver feedback
1.1.1. BM Series
The BM series motors are available in ten different models with a rated power from 232
to 7,949 watts and torque ranging from 78 oz-in (0.55 N-m) to 4,480 oz-in (31.6 N-m).
The BM series are smaller and weigh less than brush or stepper motors of the same
power capacity. The motors feature standard NEMA frame sizes allowing easy
replacement of stepping motors. The motors have skewed stator laminations that provide
smooth velocity control. Signal and motor power connections are made through separate
MS-style or D sub connectors.
1.1.2. BMS Series
The BMS series motors are available in four different models with a rated power from
137 to 599 watts and torque ranging from 46 oz-in (0.33 N-m) to 405 oz-in (2.9 N-m).
The BMS series motors are manufactured with a slotless design and exhibit extremely
smooth velocity regulation.
