Key Features:

  • Frameless design enables direct integration into customer mechanical structure — zero backlash, zero coupling losses
  • Ironless stator delivers zero cogging torque for sub-microradian smoothness
  • Ultra-low rotor inertia (1.9 g·cm²) for highest bandwidth direct-drive applications
  • B3 flange provides rigid, repeatable mounting for precision rotary stages
  • Continuous torque rated at 25°C case temperature — derate linearly above 25°C at 0.8%/°C

Applicable Industries: Optical Gimbals, Antenna Pointing, Semiconductor Wafer Stages, Surgical Robots, Space Mechanisms, Gimbal Stabilization

Installation Requirements:

  • Press-fit motor into customer housing bore with interference fit of 0.01–0.025 mm
  • B3 flange bolts: 4x M3 x 0.5, torque to 0.5 Nm
  • Mount encoder directly on motor shaft using collet or set-screw hub (6 mm bore typical)
  • Ensure thermal path from motor case to heatsink for continuous operation above 1 A

Usage Notes:

  • Do not exceed 48 VDC — insulation breakdown will occur
  • Bearing selection is customer responsibility; recommended: angular contact ceramic hybrid bearings (e.g., Si3N4 balls)
  • Do not apply axial load directly to shaft — use thrust bearing at non-drive end
