The DSC 45-100 series is Baumüller's new series of compact three-phase servo motors. When developing this series, the company's primary goal was to bring to market a servo motor that could combine power with compact dimensions. Therefore, a compromise had to be found in terms of striking the optimum balance between overall length and flexibility while still ensuring maximum torque density. Nevertheless, the typically wide speed setting range required for today's applications has been retained.
DSC series servo motors from Baumüller are up to 30% more compact than conventional servo motors
The DSC motors cover the standard servo motor speed range of up to 4500 rpm. Compared with conventional servo motors they are up to 30% more compact, but are also flexible. Thanks to their smooth design, easy mounting and high level of protection, they are suited to applications in harsh industrial environments such as those found in the textiles, robotics or packaging industries.
This new series differs markedly from the existing DST 135-315 in terms of its final design. Motors in the latter series are more highly optimised for maximum torque density/efficiency. They have been designed to serve as pure torque motors. With optimised speed setting ranges and a large number of poles, these torque motors have enjoyed a high degree of success on the market since they were launched over three years ago.
Both motor series perform well when used as direct drives, offering a high degree of precision and strength coupled with good dynamic performance, yet are energy efficient.
A smarter approach to simplifying motion architecture
Motion Control & Drives
n motion system design, the wiring and drive placement between motor and drive are often decided by default, yet they shape a machine’s cost, footprint and adaptability. Kollmorgen sets out how single-cable and decentralised architectures simplify the cabinet.
