Kollmorgen PMA240-1050B-0

Product Name: PMA Series Frameless Torque Motor

Model: PMA240-1050B-0

Product Series: PMA (Permanent Magnet Actuator — Frameless Rotary Motor)

Outer Diameter (Stator): 240 mm

Detailed content

Inner Diameter (Rotor)140 mm (typical for PMA240)

Stack Length60 mm (standard for 1050 variant)

Continuous Torque1050 N·cm = 10.5 Nm

Peak Torque: 3150 N·cm = 31.5 Nm (3× rated, 10 s duty)

Rated Speed: 2000 RPM

Max Speed3000 RPM

Continuous Power2.2 kW (at rated speed)

Holding Brake: None (B-0 = No Brake)

Cooling Method: Liquid cooling (jacketed stator) — required for continuous rated torque

Feedback Options: Resolver, SINCOS, EnDat 2.2 (separately ordered)

Encoder Resolution: Up to 17-bit single-turn (with EnDat)

Insulation Class: Class H (180°C)

Magnet TypeSintered Neodymium (NdFeB), N42SH grade

Winding: Copper, Class H varnish, epoxy potting optional

Weight: Approximately 12.5 kg (stator + rotor)

Structural Design:

  • Stator: Laminated silicon steel, epoxy potted for vibration resistance
  • Rotor: Bonded NdFeB magnets on carbon fiber sleeve
  • Bearings: Not included — customer integrates into their own bearing system
  • Shaft: None — direct-drive to customer’s mechanical interface

Key Features:

  • Zero-backlash direct-drive torque motor
  • No gearbox required — eliminates backlash, compliance, and maintenance
  • High torque-to-inertia ratio for fastest acceleration
  • Customizable cooling jacket for OEM integration

Applicable Industries: Wafer handling, gimbal systems, antenna positioning, direct-drive robotics, telescope mounts, surgical robots, aerospace actuation

Installation Requirements:

  • Mount stator into customer-designed housing with interference fit or bolt pattern
  • Rotor must be balanced to G2.5 (ISO 1940) or better
  • Liquid cooling: 40% ethylene glycol / water, flow rate 2 L/min minimum, inlet temp 20–25°C
  • Air gap: 0.3 mm ± 0.05 mm (critical — must be maintained)
  • Feedback device mounted on rotor — cable routing through hollow shaft or slip ring

Usage Notes:

  • Never operate without cooling at rated torque — thermal damage will occur within minutes
  • Air gap must not drop below 0.2 mm — risk of rotor-stator contact
  • Magnets are brittle — handle with care, no impact
  • Requires custom servo drive tuned for frameless motor parameters
  • Do not use as a conventional motor with gearbox — this is a direct-drive component
