High-density motor achieves 90% efficiency

The new RE 50 motor drive is an extremely high-density 200 W power pack.

The new RE 50 motor drive is an extremely high-density 200 W power pack. At its heart is the ironless rotor, which results in detent-free running and minimized mass inertia. The combination of a two-pole Neodymium permanent magnet with patented winding technology results in high torque as well as remarkable acceleration. The drive measures 50 x 108 mm and is available with four different windings. It reaches a nominal torque of up to 0.38 Nm, a nominal speed of 2,800 to 5,700 rpm, and an efficiency of more than 90%.

Low nominal voltage (24.70 Vdc) and high power density make the RE 50 a suitable choice for use in battery-powered applications, such as electric vehicles, transport and logistics equipment, mobile systems, and robots. Preloaded bearings contribute to low vibration, quieter running, and an extensive life span. The modular system also offers matching planetary gearheads, encoders, and control systems. Coming soon is a dust and splash water protected RE 50 version, available with an optional brake. For more information, visit maxon motor.
