Brushless DC motors from the BL range are available in 5 si- zes with torque from 37 mNm to 0.7Nm and they can be supplied with either an integrated (version IE) or external driver.
The advantages of using brushless motors instead of traditional DC brush motors are the following:
Longer life time
Higher efficiency
Electronic commutation and control of the motor via digital
sensors (encoder, resolver etc.)
Wide speed range
Maintenance free
BL motors have a compact design and thanks to low inertia they have high performances and are a low cost solution already including Hall sensors, as opposed to an encoder or resolver.
The 3 phase windings of the motor have a low voltage of 24/36/48 V and so these motors are safer to use when a machine operator has direct contact with them.
Furthermore, by using the integrated speed controller, optional IE solution, the cables of the equipment can be simplified taking up less space in the electric cabinet.
