Moog’s New High Torque Direct Drive Servomotors
10 October 2006Moog has announced the release of its High Torque Direct Drive Servomotors, a new line of large, customized direct drive permanent magnet rotary servomotors with peak torque up to 50,000 Nm and nominal power up to 510 kW. These servomotors are designed specifically for high torque applications and will enable larger industrial machinery such as all-electric injection molding machines to be constructed, than previously possible.
Moog foresees growing demand for customized high torque, direct drive servomotors as users of large machines seek cleaner and more efficient solutions for processes requiring high peak or rated torque. By eliminating components such as gearboxes and belt drives that are prone to wear, direct drive rotary servomotors improve accuracy and repeatability, enable reduced machine size, offer higher efficiency resulting in energy savings, minimize maintenance costs and downtime, and produce quieter operation.
In addition, Moog’s direct drive servomotors will provide the following unique benefits:
Moog’s ability to customize both the performance and packaging of these servomotors will enable OEMs to develop higher performance high-power industrial machines with innovative designs where electro-magnetic direct drive servo technology is not yet commonly used.
